Hi acuss01

Thanks for your post.

There were some anticipated delays to vehicles ordered with the black pack which we expected to slot much later in build due to supply constraints on the Black Sawtooth wheel which is part of the pack.

This information was cascaded to our retailer network in late November 2014 so that they may communicate this to any customers who may have been affected.

I have PM'd you separately regarding this matter.

Regards

Ryan

Query for Ryan.

I ordered a Defender 90XS with black pack last week. I have just been informed by the dealer that Land Rover have now withdrawn the black pack for all future sales. Big Cry


Are any of the options that were part of the black pack still available? Obviously the on-line brochures have yet to be updated. regards Roger

Hi Roger

Thanks for your post.

I note your query and can confirm that the Black Pack has indeed been withdrawn from the Defender due to supply issues.

Regarding the options within the Black Pack, may I suggest speaking to your vending retailer who should be able to advise further regarding the potential availability of individual options.

Regards

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Can you say if Defenders ordered with the Black pack before it was withdrawn will still be available? Or is it likely we will have to change an aspect of the order?

I assume it is the sawtooths that are causing problems?

Is it possible to order gloss black heavy duty steel wheels as part of the black pack as an alternative?

Many thanks

Chris

Landrover dealer selling new sets of 5 wheels at Ł980 plus postage ,

Might be worth buying a set , then selling on the standard fit boosts when you pick up the vehicle, get your supplying dealer to do the tyre swaps maybe?.

Cheers,

for those interested, i got my Sawtooth Alloys and tyres (genuine) from National Tyres. They could source either gen or aftermarket ones, and they arrived in a few days. Cheers, David

Hi ChrisJ

Thank you for your post.

The availability of the Black Pack for vehicles currently on order will depend very much on when the vehicle was ordered and at what stage the order is currently at.

For clarification regarding this and to discuss the options available regarding your order, may I suggest speaking to your vending retailer who should be able to clarify and advise further.

Regards

Ryan

Hi

New to forum!

I am in the process of ordering a 90 XS hardtop and wanted to add Sawtooths, black grill/surrounds and lettering. I have one dealer who says its not a problem and one who says it's impossible. Who does it is correct? Is there news that Sawtooths are coming back in stock. Rumours are the wheel maker went bust (dealers words).

Trouble is the dealer who says it's impossible is offering the one offering larger discount Confused

Anybody got any further news? Trying to secure a March build.

They stopped selling the Sawtooths on their own awhile back. You can always get them from elsewhere though.

I've got a new 90 on order with Black Pack, I'm waiting for confirmation from my dealer as to whether I will get sawtooths or not and we ordered early November.

We have had our build date pushed to April/May also.

Sawtooths haven't been available since around November as an add on and only with the black pack which has also now been discontinued as told by Ryan at Land Rover in this thread.

Hi

You name them I've contacted them but it's down to Taunton and Christchurch, we're based kind of in the middle of the two.

Any recommendations?

thanks Chris, looks like I might go for the more competitive dealer and source the Sawtooths myself to be on the safe side. I notice a few dealer parts dept's are still offering them.
