MY22 D300 SE Finally arrived
After what seemed like forever, I collected my Defender last week 31/01/22. In reality I know I have been lucky, it only took 6 months and arrived as ordered including Interactive Driver Display.

Very happy apart from both front wheel arch protection trims are coming unstuck already which is a nuisance, it goes in next Tuesday to sort it out. It's a shame, everything is perfect apart from something that the dealers workshop touched.

Got a bit excited when adding options (well I've reached my mid 50's and this is my first brand new vehicle!)
Off road pack
Cold climate pack
Comfort & convenience pack
and a few bits and bobs!

Looks great 👍🏻

The wheel arch protection coming adrift is a common issue. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Thanks all. Thumbs Up

Just have to raise the tow bar height to match my Ifor Williams, My trusty D3 is still my work hack and does any towing duties but I’m sure the Defender will sneak onto the trailer occasionally.

Got a decent run this weekend so looking forward to that and then up to the Yorkshire Dales at the end of the month….can’t wait.

Just hope I have wheel arches that are properly stuck on by then!

The downside to getting the Defender is that my D4 Commercial has to go Sad but it’s going to a good home….a friend of mine who lives in the Lake District.

Yes Tasmin is a lovely colour.

I was struggling to make my mind up between Blue & Green so my wife tipped the balance in favour of Tasmin blue. I'm very happy with it so our marriage has survived! Laughing

Well I sold my Defender 18 months ago after owning for a year and went back to a D4. I didn't think i would regret my decision but the regret crept up on me so I have now ordered myself another Defender, this time it's a Hard top so slightly more tax efficient!

I spent a few months looking for a secondhand one but I struggled for the spec I wanted and the prices are too strong for nearly new I thought.


Hard Top S
Air Suspension
Off Road Pack
Cold Climate Pack
Comfort and convenience pack.
Multi Height Towbar

Ordered last month and just had an email from the salesman with a provisional build date of 20/09/24
If the date doesn't slip back then that's pretty good for a Hard Top.
