Newbie - NI Based - Possible 110 Order.... ?
Hello all....

Newbie to the site so go easy on me... Embarassed

I see a few fellow NI based members on here after doing a bit of reading...so hello...

I have just sold my Porsche Macan after 5 years of ownership - I previously came from an Evoque and my wife has just sold her Freelander so we have history with the LR brand.

We are now considering placing an order for a Defender 110 - like many, playing with spec options etc. and at present looking at a Dynamic X HSE 250 with a few options - 7 seats being one.

We are at odds on the colour - either black, silver or grey - saying that, our last 4 vehicles have all been black... I am a sucker for a black car... Laughing

Anything I should be looking out for on the spec side being new to the Defender configurator or the colour?
Also what are you all hearing on delivery times - i did hear towards end of this year but we are ok to wait until start of next year..

Thanks
T

Hi T,

Nice to hear from another NI member.

I am also a sucker for a black as I currently have a Santorini Black 110. I think they look great in black.

I can't really help too much with spec as my own is the basic model, I never tempted myself looking as far up into the HSE range Laughing

I added the following, off-road pack (roof rails, off-road tyres, and electronic active diff), tow bar and mud flaps. Tried to keep it as basic as I could.

Delivery took 5 months for us. I would recommend placing the order asap as you can change the spec up until a certain date. We wasted a good few weeks on the configurator trying to nails down the spec before we gave the go ahead for the dealer to order.

If you wish you are welcome to come see ours to see a black one in the flesh, NI isn't that big after all Laughing 1992 Defender 90 SW 200Tdi

Hi,

Hello NI neighbour... Laughing

Lol - both our Freelander and my Evoque were Santorini Black...
What we are missing are real life vehicles to see the colours up close or real life pictures to judge - the computer generated ones dont show that well...

We have been spoiled with the extras on the Evoque (was Dynamic also) plus the Macan so dont want to lose what we had before plus gain any new ones...

Hoping to decide and place an order on something soon anyway..

Cheers
T

Hi T

Another NI user here, mid-ulster based. I've a 110 on order, SE spec with seven seats. I went for Silicon Silver along with the off-road spec. I think the electronic diff is a desirable feature. My order was placed at the start of the month, but the dealer appears to have been able to get a slot and it is there intention to have my vehicle by September.

Whereabouts are you based?

I've been briefly chatting to @ashcurrie and a coffee meeting could be organised when we all get our defenders, to chat about how the new model is much better than the old one Rolling with laughter

Hi tooth_DR

Well hello - sounds like you are close to me then, I am in Mid-Ulster also... Smile
Sounds like the dealer in that area could be the same for us if you ordered there...

Would like to see what the Silver is like in real life - also have not seen a 7 seat one yet....
Doubt ours will ever be off road Embarassed

Good to hear you can get yours earlier - we are not bothered, if we do order one and comes this year great, if it is Jan its ok also...
They are still pretty rare in these parts, not too many of them on the roads as yet...

Has anyone went with the 22" wheels or went with the grey or black options?

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2022 110 D250 SE HT in blue with white roof, adjustable height tow bar, rear locking diff, jump seat, wheel arch protection and classic mud guards. Delighted with the vehicle, very comfortable, tows very well. It's fitted with 20" alloys so I've a set of BFG's to fit.

I did look at 2021 a dealer had as a stock vehicle fitted with 22" wheels, not practical for using for work or taking off road. 130 TDCI High Capacity Pick up

How did you get the adjustable height towbar? I could only spec a detachable one!
