Review with plenty of off-roading, although I do not know what language that is



one of the more enjoyable reviews even though i could not understand a word he said Laughing well apart from
"Defender" a few times. Interesting to see it tackling the "swampy" ground and he still managed to extract
the vehicle and on standard all season tyres, so totally road biased rubber. With a decent off road / muddies
it should in theory be easier..

good find Naks Thumbs Up yet another pommie bar steward down under

i saw the lucky8 post earlier, and it looks like they use Compomotives 18" , which is a pity as i was hoping
to get a set of 18" for my tour of Aus.
.
Tuff Ant are saying they are working on 18" for the P400, but from the Lucky8 post I
would not be surprised if they run into the same problems yet another pommie bar steward down under

New from the Sunday Times


An another from PowerfulUK - how to configure the dash - II wish I could log in on my car to set up the big centre screen....... it just keeps going into a search mode with the rotating icon, may be rElated to not being able to log into the app but my car is showing that it has 5 bars 4G data connection......


And another delivery video - I think this is a D240 HSE in Pangea with a white roof and the big alloys
 Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Is it really that surprising when each wheel size has it's own differently sized discs and calipers?

The different disc sizes are all there on the earlier video:



Fronts:
349mm
363mm
380mm

See all these videos with big alloys. Am I the only one to order steels?

Wales 2012 Defender 90 Other SW Keswick Green
So, it is really the end of saying 'all Defenders share most of their parts' ... I noticed the discs catastrophe when helping a friend cleaning up his inventory for a new location of his shop. He explained why he no longer stocks certain parts for some new cars, including the New Defender - far too much money bound to stuff piling on the shelves. Not everything new is better. Never forget: cars have owner, Landrover have field service personnel.

I think Tim has applied the right logic, get the alloys that come as standard, buy a set of steels
for your own off road use. When it comes time to sell, the alloys may make it a tad more appealing yet another pommie bar steward down under

Dark grey bumper looks far better than the garish bright silver.

I have a young (22!) FFRR owning neighbour and he reckons I should see if Zu do set of wheels like the Anthracite ones on my 90, in black , would look good on the new car.
Like these that are 16”

Don’t buy a diesel because you’ll have nothing but issues with the DPF they say Rolling with laughter

On a serious not it’s pretty poor show by LR. To me seemed a very simple fix. I believe though that GPFs don’t like to be thrashed they need to be driven at low speeds to regen.
