It has now done about 130 miles and I'm still grinning. It now has some dirt on it as the weather has changed round here.


First problem to go on the warranty list has shown itself though - Two days out in the rain and not one drop / drip on the floor mats so the built in foot spa is obviously faulty - I thought it was standard in the Defender

The roof seal doesn't seem to have the standard gap either as braking doesn't give you that early morning 'shower fresh' feeling I was used to with the 90.

Cheers,

Mine also doesn't leak. I told my dealer and Landrover rang me and asked me to take in so they can correct the problem and give me my leaks - I paid for them afterall!  2011 110 USW

Having said that JSG ... Do you have a list of "new defender" jobs to do like Zag?

Nothing major - will get it waxoyled or similar fairly soon and hopefully the tow bar will be in stock for fitting.

The cubby box needs replacing as the standard one is too low for resting your elbow on and an aftermarket one will be easier for fitting some 12v sockets into.

The number plate will get swapped out soon as well. John

That sounds like the familiar handbrake binding noise, heats up after a run and causes the judder as you come to a rest

if you don't mind me being cheeky did you pay list or get some off ?

Pom

I got a bit off list

I was told by a dealer on here that they couldn't match the price I paid so I was quite happy  John

Thanks for that - what is the fix, just slacken it off?

Just go back from a week in France and it now has just under 1,000 miles on it. All seems well but on the odd occasion it seems to have a 'transmission' judder / rattle when coming to a stop after cruising (ie at the toll booth etc). Couldn't get it to happen yesterday though.
