Netherlands 2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green
Loose intercooler hose
Got delivery of my new 110 last week, yesterday I tried the towing capacities.
After 5 minutes the engine warning light came up, a loud whooshing sound came from the right side of the engine.
The intercooler hose has come off.. No power, so I limped home.
At home I found that the clamp was completely undone, so someone in the factory did not do his job prperly.
I put the hose back on and tightened the clamp.
Started the engine, warning light does not come on anymore.
And power is back!

I traded in my 2013 Range Rover SDV8 for a magnificent Defender 110 SW.
Aintree Green, Whtie roof. 18" alloys with 285/60 toyo's.

Will travel to Alive Tuning on Monday for some tuning and other parts.
Love the car, no comparisson to the RR, but it is great in its own way.

Defender is a great vehicle but by now it should be truly magnificent after all those years of manufacturing experience. On the other hand look at the heritage and corporate DNA - the industrial relations problems of British Leyland, the cost-cutting culture of Ford and their components and what looks like the relaxed approach to quality of the current owners.

and yet the Defender is a vehicle that can have you grinning from ear to ear.

Welcome to the forum, if you do need a hose upgrade to something a little stronger than the standard ones we do have some available here. http://bellautoservices.co.uk

Dear Pete,
I will bear your advise in mind. Tomorrow I will go to Alive Tuning to get some things tweeked on my car.
20" wheels, lowered suspension and shocks, ECU remap. Can't wait to feel the difference.

JW Speaker LED headlamps
Got JW Speaker LED lamps, quite confusing how to order them.
Since I live in The Netherlands (so LHD) I thought I had to order the LHT version, WRONG I need the RHT version.
They say that the way you drive on the road in your country is the way they mark their lamps.
Anyhow, what a difference! Very clear dipped headlights, high-beam less impressive. Maybe because the dipped is to clear and long range already...
They look great on the car. Black KBX grille on a Aintree Green car.

They are in America, but that is still the Netherlands.
Approx 260 kilometer from where I live.
