I've been on a two month road trip away, only just got to read this thread today.

I saw a MY26 in Alcester in April. It was a 74 reg and in camo graphics.

It was travelling on road (A435), I was walking on foot as it past, so didn't take much notice.

Rear lights

"Like the headlamp, the rear tail lamp has no outer lens cover, with the small outer squircles being the DI lamps, moved outboard to satisfy global lighting regulations. “The first model we did had a clear lens cover. The 3D printed part that was made wouldn’t fit correctly on the day of the viewing so we reviewed it without fitting it. Afterwards we stood back and decided it looked better, it was more honest without it, so that was it!”

I’m not really a fan of the overly polished direction the Defender is heading in. I was hoping for something a bit more playful — not just another platform for expensive aftermarket add-ons. It would’ve been great to see more personality straight from the factory: bold colors, fun trims, and creative options, not just ruggedness dressed in gloss…

The new Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control in 26 MY someone is already activating it. The new Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control analyzes the terrain, taking into account unevenness, gradient, articulation, steering angles, and other factors to maintain the desired speed... The market launch exclusivity lasted only a short time... I've never understood how JLR wastes this market share on activations and updates for its products at a competitive price... If it's good business for others, why isn't it for LR? Dealers wouldn't have a competitor... since these activations can be done remotely or in a workshop. Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

Does this mean they have fixed the DRL issue?

When you place an order (in the UK at least) it goes into a 'pool' where it waits until it is picked up and assigned a build slot.

If you have not been assigned a build slot before the MY change then you will certainly get the new model year.

My order took so long to be picked up that the model year changed and many of the options I had chosen were no longer available. I then had to start again!


Likewise, I initially ordered a 22MY, that was cancelled 2 weeks before build date, re ordered a 23MY, that then got rolled to 23.5MY. In the end from date of first ordering to day of collection was 16 months 110 D250 SE HT
