I'm not normally a fan of black cars, but with those white steel wheels, it looks really good. I think the days of the black alloy is coming to an end.

Me too - I love washing my car and standing back and admiring the results is great.
But I wonder if I might prefer the Defender with a layer of dirt on it. So it looks like it actually does some w ... |

Nope - last car got washed 4 times in 5 years (was an Isuzu pickup mind)
Though am thinking after a mere 250 miles at taking mine down to the local immigrant jet wash facility as there is nothing t ... |

Who the hell uses cruise control on B roads?
I do. All the time. |

I have it on a VW and I hate it.
Not sure if the Defender does this, but my VW won't overtake on the inside so, due to the seemingly endless number of middle-lane drivers, my VW slows down to the ... |

I've always been quite obsessive about keeping a clean car - polished, waxed and looking new.
But it feels wrong with the Defender. For a utilatarian vehicle with steel wheels and rubber floors, I ... |

I’ve yet to use cruise control but in normal driving if I lift off the accelerator there’s a noticeable slowing/breaking effect.
There's a huge difference between lifting your foot off and putt ... |

Not that I’ve found in any menu and the iGUIDE doesn’t really mention the MHEV system.
There’s also no indication that the car is using or charging the battery. |

I'm happy to be wrong but I think my surmisation that it's the MHEV system is correct.
It's very obvious when lifting my foot off the accelerator (without cruise activated). You can feel that the ... |

I've also noticed this, but it's very subtle. It doesn't bother me.
True, it is very subtle. But something I've never experienced before - probably something we'll all have to get used to as fossi ... |

I was driving a familiar route today with cruise set to 30mph and noticed that the car would gently accelerate and then noticeably brake a little, then accelerate, then brake.
I'm guessing it's bec ... |
