Really nice Tim. I prefer not having privacy glass.
The analogue dash looks better in the flesh than photos for some reason. Air gives more options but I understand it may feel less direct to some. Enjoy the new car! |

I still don’t like the bigger Pivi Pro screen, the screen is bigger but what you see doesn’t appear to be wider just taller. It also has much less space behind it than the integrated smaller screen. Also noticed that the USB C socket ontop of the dash next to the screen no longer has a cover on it (in my 110 it was a USB A socket too)
I’ve already put the PowerfulUK own label rubber boot mat in, I might have to cut up the rubber mat from either my last Evoque or the L494 RRS and stick it onto the boot side of the rear seats so stuff doesn’t slide around when the seat backs are folded. I have also bought the PowerfulUK rear bumper protector - the one that overlaps the edges slightly - but might leave it off as I never had scratching problems with the 110’s bumper and now I don’t any boot to speak off there won’t be any hefty tip runs to do! The car is booked in at the detailers for Expel clear gloss PPF to be added on the front, the bonnet and both sides up to the rear window line during the 2nd week of April - after it’s first off-road drive on 2nd April. I’ve already got into the car to be greeted with gongs to tell me that the tailgate isn’t properly closed…….. too used to having the soft close that was on the 110……… 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! |

I’m actually OK with the clear glass now but the privacy is paid for and I like LR’s heavy tint as it hides stuff in the back really well but the view out is as if there is no tint.

Nice colour combo. I think the 90 is proportionally very nice.
Curious about your comments re the MHEV. I’ve not noticed it at all. |

Congratulations, very nice! I would love the 90 but perhaps after the kids have left the nest.
Those are models are cute! 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof IG defender_japan "Hulk san" |

The models are made by Almost Real - I got the 110 from Almost Real via their store on Alibaba and the 90 is made by Almost Real but I bought from the JLR webstore and the price included free next day delivery by DHL, I haven’t fitted the expedition roof rack or the front A frame style bull bar thingy but they both have the RAI which mine doesn’t have. 1/18 scale and amazing detail.
