| Is Caraway a lighter shade vs. Vintage Tan? I see Vintage has been discontinued on the configurator, like Pangea green. |

In winter I also prop the skis and snowboards against them without worrying about the paintw ... |

I think what you are referring to when you start up the car and the lights go up and down is the " Automatic Headlight Levelling"
As far as I am aware the Defender does not have the " ... |

Do LR not offer the extended warranty over there? Here it is available up to 10 years old or 100k miles, whichever comes first.

I have a 7 seater 110.
I agree with what XplusYplusZ said above.
The sliding mechanism does get stiff on the '60' of the 60:40 side, so it might need some strong persuasion. I find the easiest wa ... |

I have the same set up since Dec 2021.
Noise is a minimum.
I did have some whistling between 30 and 60 kmh but the rubber seal was jutting out, so re-trimmed it and all good now.
