I let it get down to 5 miles range remaining yesterday. Filled it with nor ... |

To be honest, the old Defender 130 was no beauty Queen, so perhaps the new one can be excused!
I’m sure it will be a lovely car to drive, and much safer for your precious family than the old Def ... |

I’m not sure you can. There is a small adjuster next to the park brake lever. Make sure it’s turned up.
The driver display on mine has always been a bit dimmer than I’d prefer, but still reada ... |

| I’ve had my D300 for 12 months, 10500 miles. Many short journeys, and a long journey perhaps once a month. No issues. |
