Any changes coming up in new model year
I know LR have been busy with the LR4 and RR, but does anyone know if there are any upgrades headed for the Defender in the next few months?
Question
Thx

Not a single one as far as i'm aware. The Td5 > Puma was a big change and will probably satisfy LR for a few years.

According to the specialized magazines a new Defender model will appear in 2013 - 2014 or maybe later depending on how the crisis is going on.

Acko,
Yes there are 'up-dated' Defender model only for worldwide sales - not UK!
They are marketing them as 'Fire & Ice' - referring to the paint job e.g. 'scorching metallic vesuvius orange and metallic santorini black and Ice Alaska white'. The internal panels are also colour coordinated. Price £37,000 (my, how prices have changes, Land Rover must be doing very well irrespective of the recession!)
See LRM August 2009 page 10

They are supposed to be fitting a warning light on the dash which lights up when you have an oil leak. This will work for the gearbox and diffs etc.The holdup is that they can't get bulbs strong enough to withstand the constant illumination! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Cool

Clever technicians at Landrover.
They've overcome the problem. Fit an ordinary bulb and have it lit up when all is o.k. and switch OFF when there is a leak. No possibility of it being on too long then !!

This is just a 'paint/trim' option not an up grade.

Since 09MY they all have smaller convex side mirrors over this part of the world? Wouldn't mind the convex mirrors but don't want smaller ones though. 110 2.4TDCi
110 300Tdi

Don't know they are the Britax units (4003-189 I think) but they are smaller than the previous ones that have always been fitted. Also we never used to have convex mirrors on the Defenders. 110 2.4TDCi
110 300Tdi

Trip's going well, got a new clutch fitted after 22,000km as it had developed the dreaded rattle.

You're probably right, the stupid ADR (Australian Design Rules) probably dictate the different mirror. If it was the same height as the old model I'd swap them over in a flash. 110 2.4TDCi
