Factory Order Lead Time
Hi all,

I’m new here but a regular of the Disco and Fullfat forums Thumbs Up

Could anyone give me an idea for the current lead time for a factory order 110 D250 X Dynamic HSE with too many options ticked Rolling Eyes

I’m not keen to get my local dealer too excited just yet, but may have just suggested to SWMBO that we change her D4 for a new Defender as a lockdown/home schooling thank you Big Cry

Andy.

In all honesty I think you’ll be looking at 4 to 5 months for a factory order.

Email some of the big dealership chains with your spec and see if they have anything that suits in their unsold stock or a demo they might part with. Some have upwards of a choice of 30 cars between their outlets. My local dealer is part of a group that last July had a stock of 50 unsold 110’s in all specs, variations and colours and they aren’t one of the bigger groups. However do be aware that a) a lot of the dealer fit option packs and accessories are in short supply and b) some orders are being held at the factory because of parts shortages so the fewer options you want can get you a car quicker.
Things like expedition roof racks, folding ladders, lunch boxes and spare wheel covers seem to be rarer than hens teeth at the moment. 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

Oh dear, all of those options are “required” Rolling Eyes

Are they all “dealer fit” or factory?

4 to 5 months is about right for me but it probably means I need to get on it Big Cry

As Tim says, have a look around. Your spec sounds like something a dealer would have either in stock or coming as stock. There are part delays, as Tim has mentioned, I can’t get spare wheel cover or rubber mats for love nor money. 23.5MY 90 D250 X-Dynamic SE, Pangea Green

They're all dealer fit options though (and all ordered with mine) so shouldn't be an issue on the production line... Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I'm in a similar position.

Obviously, having spent hours on the configurator, little else but 'my' specification will suffice Rolling Eyes

When I first started to talk turkey with my dealer (late January), I was told to expect a delivered car in May.

Since then, having placed an order, I've been told that "all Defender orders [have been placed by JLR] into the holding pool awaiting build slots. I have a suspicion that this means the model year 2022 is being moved forward but I don’t have any confirmation of this."

I've chased for an update since then but received nothing. Another user here has been told that their order will now be a MY22 car, which means late summer, early autumn 21 at best.

My D4 went the day it was advertised, and now I have to drive my old Defender around Rolling with laughter

One thing is for certain - the longer you hang fire pulling the trigger, the longer you will have to wait for your new vehicle (whatever it is) from today. Get it ordered (or selected from current dealer stock).

I'm really gld I didnt wait on mine now - (much to SMBO's annoyance) it took me one week from test drive to signing the iPad to order. I have just over 30 days to go Thumbs Up though no chickens will be actually counted until I know (i.e. browbeat my salesman) its actually run down the line at Nitra Rolling with laughter Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Tell me about it. I even have my “ideal” spec in mind ready to go. https://buildyour.landrover.co.uk/lr2/r/su..._vplep0379
