Workshop manual for l663 Defender

Now the warranty has expired, and I do a lot of my own maintenance and basic repairs I’ve been researching a Workshop manual.

JLR Topix subscription is £30 for an hours access. I’m sure it’s good and up to date, but £30 is a lot!

I’ve found a company called easy manuals.co.uk who seem to be offering a downloaded manual, with a cloud storage option and lifetime updates for £24.98 (£15 without storage and updates)

Anyone got experience of them? 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Yes seen that, however it appears to only cover the 2.0 4 cylinder Ingenium engine. I’m running a D300 I6. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Snap, I'd also like a manual for the 3.0 inline-6 D250 L663 as I feel naked without torque settings. I sweat just thinking about overtightening a nut and shearing a stud with my superhuman strength

If anyone knows where I can buy a download link I'd be grateful for the share. I normally use a site that charges a tenner for the pdf manufacturers files but they don't list the new defender as yet.

Thanks to all responses here. I downloaded the manuals, and they contain much useful information about the L663 Defender and its suspension and body and braking systems.

However neither contained anything on the new 6 cylinder 3 litre Ingenium diesel engine. The manuals refer to the TDV6 engine, as fitted to Discovery and Range Rover.

Makes me wonder if Land Rover were prepared to use the TDV6 if the I6 was not ready? 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Same in my copy - I thought that was odd too.

I'm glad the SDv6 didn't come over - while it's a great engine for performance and torque, the one in my Velar only lasted 75K

It’s looking like the pay option I linked to earlier might be the only way to get engine info for the I6. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

That manual is dated Aug 2019 according to the preview - So is still the old one.

I bought it back in March 23 and found as above it has the SDv6 Engine, not the i6 - regardless of what it says.

I emailed them yesterday and they confirm that the 2022-23 version does have the I6 engine for D200, 250 and 300. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV
