I wish to thank all who have taken time to offer advice. I recently drove a Defender that only had 10,000 klms on the clock. The clutch was controllable and I was comfortable. So my mind is made up. I will not be buying the one with the snatching clutch for fear of great expenditure. I hope to buy one that has only 10,000 on the lock if not new. I live in South Africa and the exchange rate makes new rather costly. I knew my instinct from 50 years of driving ordinary cars had to be of value. Thank you all again. Jim

This occurred in First gear of the normal driving range. I am new to this and not familiar to the terminology.

When test driving a vehicle with 134,000 Klms on the clock, I was surprised to find the clutch snatched on pull away. I was assured that this is the case as the vehicles get older due to wear in the drive train. Please help me as I really want my next vehicle to be a Defender.
