Interesting. I haven’t heard many reliability woes with the current Defender. Dealers still best avoided though. JLR haven’t ever managed to get that right. 1951 80" S1 2.0

For balance I’ve had zero issues with my 3l 250 Diesel, more than happy with it, love it in fact, and the car and the dealer was excellent, MK Stratstone.

Forums eh. Hard to find a good word. Easy to find a bad one.

TBH not really sure the point of the OP question.

Never had an issue with DPF. I've had a quite a few Defenders and Discoveries, all diesel and more recently just short journeys of around 5 miles with the occasional 30 mile maybe once every few weeks.

I looked at the Plug in Hybrid before I bought my D350. I couldn't justify the extra £5000 as I would have to be driving more than 20,000 miles a year and keep the car longer than my usual 3 years to make it pay. Also the reduced towing weight was a big issue. Defender D350 X-Dynamic HSE 110 MY25 Carpathian Grey

Don’t. Do. It.

I have sold my 110 D250 this week due to DPF issues.

My car was doing a regen every 30 miles rather than every 300 miles.

Went back to dealer 3 times. No fault code so no problem as far as JLR is concerned. Client relations backed dealer.

I’m disgusted with JLR. Never again.

Would suggest P400e but you will still need to deal with incompetent and arrogant dealers.

Good luck…



Yours was a dud. This is not typical, it's just so unacceptable that Land Rover couldn't find the fault on it.
