2006 Defender 110 Td5 DCPU Zambezi Silver

i thought that the fully extended radio aerial was the same height as the roof on a defender, eg if you go to drive into the car park and the aerial hits, so will your roof. if not you'l be ok. (don't take my word for it though as i may be wrong.....)

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

The overall height (2021mm for the 110 in the spec. sheet) is not as much of a problem as the "kick-up" at the rear when going down ramps. I don't chance anything under 2.2m because of this.

For example, ramping down a 1 in 5 gradient (11.3deg), which is the steepest permissible ramping angle in a public car park (according to Australian Standards), the back kicks-up to about 2212mm above the flat floor at the top of the ramp! The main problem is that car park height gauges DO NOT take this into account - they only indicate the clear head height on a flat surface. 2007 Defender 110

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

I'm sure mine said 2.06 m.

It fits fine in two local car parks with 2.1m limit signs.

If this is any help

Floor to gutter is 1.91 gutter to bottom of the roof tent is 20cm so the total with a roof bar *should* be 2.11m Mike

Nope - it's only the answer on a flat surface. How many car parks have ramps in them? I stand by my calculation of 2212mm on a 1 in 5 gradient. 2.2m in public car parks gives a suitable safety margin. 2007 Defender 110

Different question.

The original question was 'Hoe high is an 07 Defender?' The answer is 2.06m for the 110

Nope (again) - Same question, different possible circumstances. In relation to the original question which was in the context of car parks, I stand by my expanded answer. 2007 Defender 110
