I think it may be similar to a Fiat Ducato automatic in my motorhome.
It is really a manual with an automatic clutch rather than a proper auto. It drove great as was a bigger engine than standard, but not as smooth as conventional auto. James French at same named independant LR dealer has one might be worth giving him a ring for feedback. Paul 2020 P300 HSE |

In my last job we had a Renault Traffic automatic ( same vehicle ) and in 2 years we had a new gearbox , new sensors, and 2 further breakdowns which were fixed by the dealer with no explanation, coupled with that it is not very smooth.
I would not recomend it at all. HR064 Hampshire and Berkshire 4x4 Response |

Buy a Transit then you'll have engine parts to put on your Defender when it breaksdown!

Since I typed that 10 mins ago I've been offered a LWB by the same dealer for the same money so I've gone for that instead

That's impressive if you're only buying one ! Dad bought some in December (8 I think?) for the business, and they're really good build quality ! Only fault I could pick out is that you can't change the volume of the radio on the actual radio, it has to be done via the controls on the steering wheel
