I didn’t know they existed for the Puma and earlier, I thought digital dash was the Pretender version onwards. ____\We|Will|Win/___

I didn't know they existed either. Look quite good but more to go wrong.

Yes I can imagine that, unless these things are designed with really good hardware and firmware they can be more problem than a solution. And software patches don’t always do the trick either.

I had just not seen those before, caught my eye.

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Firenze Red

Personally I don't see the appeal.

One of the joys of driving my defender is that it doesn't have one of these modern digital displays.

It would be like driving my wife's Qashqai !

Update on these, this company has a website now:
https://metekstore.com/

Based in Turkey, I’m surprised they aren’t more commonly sold though, perhaps it might be for a reason..

Does anyone have one? There must be buyers out there. ____\We|Will|Win/___

1984 Defender 90 BMW M57 3.0 Diesel HT Auto Pennine Grey

I quite like them but have not seen a UK review yet unfortunately. Its an awful lot of money to spend on an unreviewed product.
