I'll second that?
I mean for 31k I would expect shag pile carpets where you could lose your feet, however without carpets, that means the soundproofings going to be thin on the ground, it's going to sound like a pinky with empty cases rolling around on the floor especially if you drive on loose surfaces, and the gremlins in your head will say, when you hear a big bang? That was a big stone? And when you stop, something maybe hanging off, sounds like I may have to wear my comtac, my ears are already shot out, I need them any worse...

Back in the day, they through them together, I would expect the end of its life would be an XS full of goodies and not what's left on the shelf...

That's my spin on the iconic Defender.

Defenders being the leaky sieves that they are the last thing you want is shag pile carpets Whistle Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.
Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW.

Oh I know that?
I had a leek in the discovery, took me ages to find it, had the carpets up for 6 months, it was the window screen, finding was the thing, I think I sealed the car with that much silicon, it could float, one thing no more leaks anymore, the new one is getting the same treatment, nothing worse than damp.

Hi Michael
Noticed a few of your posts. Nice car.
After picking up my 13 this week , wondering what alarm you have ? As they seem a bit vulnerable

Tech Specs
I thought I would add this link which I believe should explain what specs you should have for your model of Land Rover, I note it indicates all models now come with tinted glass, can anyone with a 2012-2013 model confirm this?

Not on mine . Did not want tints though as the last one I had was not factory fitted glass . Hence the rubbers dampness caused them to lift after a few months

Tinted glass question
I have just picked up my 90 SW XS and it has tinted glass all round. Not sure about the steering wheel material as wife has gone out in it but I will check. I agree the 'carpets' are crap. Might try the internal spray idea too. Cheers all.

specs
I would add, in my view LR are just taking the Pxxx and screwing us Landy fans for as much as they can get out of us. They seem to be reducing the specs all the time. There wasn't so much as one drop of underbody protection of any kind on my new XS, seems like they would like to reduce their lifespan as much as possible so they can sell more of the next version.

I know, I'm forever washing out the salt traps... Think I may a visit to Zagato to sort some underbody protection... However I'm in Scotland and he's in the south... Maybe cheaper to fly him here!!!
