On my D240 it heats the cabin too and starts the heated front and rear screens - all started from the remote start function on the app.
I had this on my Velar - in the app you could set a temperat ... |

Whilst that is true, choosing an S allowed me to spend the extra on things I actually wanted (signature headlights, Meridian stereo, privacy glass).
And the 18" steel wheels were a deal breake ... |

The configurator is a clever piece of work isn't it at encouraging you to spend just a little more. I don't want all the opt ... |

In the UK it's just 3yrs.
And looking at the extended warranty, it "includes mechanical and electrical failure defects to all most factory fitted components and certain consequential failures ... |

I didn't see the value in the Comfort and Convenience pack. All I wanted was the upgraded sound system which was £600 on it's own.
The other features in the pack I couldn't see myself using.

One is a four-cylinder and one a six-cylinder - the latter has a bunch more torque as above. Plus in theory less stress on components for a given power output.
Not to mention the silky-smooth natur ... |

I can't see anywhere in that press release an explanation about the differences between a 2L and 3L engine each with the same horsepower.

I still can't really work out the difference between a 3.0L and a 2.0L if they both have the same power output.
I'm guessing torque... |

I used to have a Velar which had a 2.0l, 240hp diesel engine.
The Defender I've ordered has a 3.0l, 250hp diesel engine.
Why the extra litre of displacement? What difference does that make if t ... |

That Harry's Farm guy (Harry?) really annoyed me! Someone posted a link to a review he was doing of his Defender.
He mentioned the price of c.£80,000 and then said "Where's my money gone?& ... |

Neither heated windscreen nor heated seats are standard in Germany.
Heated windscreen comes as a part of the Cold Climate Pack at 750 Euro.
Heated seats are at 380 Euro each for front and second r ... |
