3 litre Defenders
Currently drive a TD6 Disco5
Has anyone got the 3 litre ‘X’ yet?
If not when are deliveries going to start?
Does anyone know when the 3 litre straight 6 diesel might hit?

For me it’s more about torque not so much BHP - the 240 is not too far off on BHP but is well down on torque

Would be interested to hear views on more torque related power - we’re still talking a heavy vehicle to get moving

Thanks

According to some reports on social media the D300 MHEV should hit the markets in

GilesN - a) welcome to the forum

b) Have you tried the D240 version as its much much better than the 2.0ltre diesel D5

I’m fairly sure that member AndrewS was going for the Defender X so he might have some idea about when deliveries will start Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Has we left work this morning, starting our 2 week JLR Shutdown, one of the BIG bosses had a test 90 on display. He as it for a couple of weeks to play with and i believe this was the 3ltr version. 400bhp 90 he said and its very very quick and handles like a hot hatch.He also told us a SVR version will be available soon. If anyone is down down near the Ridgeway this coming weekend i believe he was doing some green lanes in it.... Putting Dreams on Drives at JLR Solihull..
