Jay
you lucky man, to have an invite to a Bowler day out.

A remap would be good

Your right on the chequer plate but should we be keeping these as show cars or should they be used everyday?

Nidge
Think fold up side steps is way to go as the silver XS side bars as on the export Heritage are out of stock on back order.

2 months still to go

Their communication is not terrific and I telephoned several times (+27 41 4846631 - speak with Nicole). Shipping costs are high. Their quote for door to door was ZAR 3,350, or to your airport ZAR 2,150. I am going with InterParcel.com.au so that I can local tracing and insurance, at cost of $273.30. If you want more info, call me on 0437675200.

Thanks Tony, much appreciated.

I've just called them and placed my order for a set - should arrive in a few weeks.

Cheers

2016 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 Adventure Phoenix Orange

My preferred mods:

1. Corrosion protection - currently wondering how to get the defender home without it getting salty, it'll be December delivery I suppose.
2. Possible dealer fit aircon, need to get a quote.
3. Self-fit towbar.
4. Seat covers. M+M group buy? Need to check out Brit part, I think they do sand too. Their black seat covers on my 110 look fine after 5 or 6 years and are a good close fit.
5. Some kind of radio, I suppose.

Steve, chequer plate -NO! You'd probably be as well taking out the rear seats, more room for the hound. Almond cloth, great idea that was. Not. Current Steeds:
2015 110 UW in Grasmere Green
2003 BMW F650 the Hack
2000 Elise
1992 Ducati 888 (no longer in bits, yahoo)
1990 TDR 250 (in bits again)
1988 TDR 250 (no longer in bits) and for sale

I have considered changing the seats completely to match the original Heritage Green Elephant leather and putting the originals into storage.
The M&M seat covers from Nene Overland are probably what I'll go for as they look right for a Heritage Defender in sand.

The chequer plate is now off my list thanks to you guys

Also trying to get my head around what I'll be using the new one for as the 110 will still be my daily drive and is ready for the adventure I'll probably not have

Looks great! How is the access with no side runners or steps?

I find it hard to get in and out without side steps and will probably have the folding steps put on the Heritage before collection.

My wife is Tiny so will need some type of step or ladder

Yes, the steps will look best. I went for side runners because I good get them as a factory option. They do have some advantages (no moving parts, limit door damage from careless parkers) but don't have the classic look.

Hi Tony

I would love the silver Side runners you've got but there not an option here and are only available as a back order with no delivery date.
Will probably get a set at a later date

I actually went for black because I thought they would be less obvious against the chassis, etc. But I'll see how they look when I get the vehicle - I may get them resprayed silver.

To be honest black will probably look better, but all the photos have had silver.

I've had a price for the black ones which are in stock at Duckworths.

Tony could you please pop a picture of the black ones up for me to look at when posssible.

I'm glad black was an option as I will order those rather than wait.

I'm happy to do that but won't have the vehicle for a couple of weeks or so (currently on ship in Fremantle, leaving for Melbourne tonight).

Yes, I've been tracking the ship since leaving Southampton. i'm in a similar position to you - I have a TD5 90 which I can't bear to sell, so will have a town and a country car.

I should really sell the 110 and have had a great offer for it from a dealer.
I just can't let it go

I think once I see the new one in the flesh so to speak it might change my mind.

Luckily the wife wants me to keep the two so no rush to sell.
