Keep an eye on the LR Approved Used website as Farnells in the North of England often wrap their cars in bright or offbeat colours. They have sold a fair few RRS’s in some of weirder Lambo and Porsche colours
Kentdale LR has this black/orange one on their approved used website - I think it would look better in gloss than satin though.

Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Maybe if it wasn’t desert camouflage and was green camo it might appeal to somebody 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

I’ve had a quick mooch but have failed dismally, what’s the equivalent of locked access height, with no roof rack?
TIA.  |

I think it’s 1970mm in standard height and I’m sure it drops 40mm below that in access height.
On coils it’s (90) 1974mm. |

1.92m without a roof rack
Normal height 1.97m Info is from my in dash “convenience’” menu but it’s not on any e-brochure or LR website and it’s also not in the I-Guide. BTW DSL have you downloaded the I-Guide from the App Storeor Android Apos website?

It’s the 21st Century version of an owner’s handbook, you won’t get a paper owners manual in the car.

Update on my Defender order saga...just had a call from the dealership informing me that when they went to change the 22” wheels the build was locked and unable to modify it but also they noticed that my original order was wrong and that it had the 19” wheels selected! As it happens this will mean I won’t get those 6 piston callipers but I won’t get the standard FE 20” 5 spoke wheels. The dealership have come up with a few options:- 1) I take the car with 19” wheels. 2) they are going to see if another car comes in with the 20” wheels and do a swap with my 19”. 3) they refund me my money because it is not what I ordered. I also suggested I would accept the dark grey satin 5 spoke which is exactly the same wheel just different colour. So basically I’m just going to see what happens when it turns up in December and make a decision when it arrives. |

Option 1 should be 19" wheels + appropriate level of refund + goodwill gesture.
Option 2 seems a bit of a cop-out. "If" (and only if?) they get a car with 20" wheels, they'll swap with yours? How generous of them to give the customer what they thought they'd ordered! Option 3 presumably is because they think they'll sell the car without problem. |

Yes I know what you mean but at the moment I’m seeing what they come up with because I might get some wheels I prefer more than the ones that come on the First Edition Spec like the satin dark grey 5 spoke or I’ve just thought that since I was going to buy additional set of 18” steel wheels if they can swap the 19” for those I’d be happy and will save me money. But if there is no other solution than to get a refund I’ll kick up a right fuss.

2.0L P300 w/jump seat, steelies and rack.... as county-is as I could get it here in the US. I do wish the Diesel was an option.

Thank you and yes. Tasman with white roof and black pack. I honestly thought it was a flat blue, but in actuality it is metallic.
