Tailgate Door Handle
My dealer tells me that my tailgate door handle denotes it's a special edition because it has 3 holes in it? It's certainly different to my TD5 one which is solid but is this right? 2016 Defender Adventure 110

Switzerland 2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black
This weight saving project started with the launch of the Puma 2.2. The Puma 2.4 still has the undrilled handle, but then again, it also has 200cc more engine capacity. Whistle
Now that I come think of it, the weight savings of the three holes are completely outdone by the additional weight of the rubber leash that was added to the fuel cap of the Puma 2.2. Not sure JLR weight savings program for the Defender has been very succesful. Laughing
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
