Mad, but even further away it still makes it a pain to open the rear door when people park behind you. It’s one of the reasons I sold mine. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

Presuming that your vehicle is the one on the right, not the left, it looks to me as though you are significantly overhanging the rear-of-space white line into the white car's space. If so, you aren't really in a position to complain!

If your vehicle is the white car, then the Defender is bang out of order!

Well it's a Renault, so that makes sense. In France they don't just park they also nudge. Every car has dents.

Fully agree… the Defender driver should have gone up to the white line with the back of the spare wheel, rather than the rear bumper.

If access was needed to the boot then driving in or using red line on the parking camera would have been a better option as the guide to the door opening. I can’t agree that the Renault has done anything wrong here at all Confused 2025MY Defender 90 D250 X-Dynamic HSE | Santorini Black with Black Pack

Well, I do, we must be corporatist and not discredit a colleague who drives a Defender!! The Renault is clearly wrong, he is in his place, yes, but clearly maintains a provocative and defiant attitude, he is clearly a arrogant person!! there is no doubt about it!!! Are you all crazy?

That right. The biggest and most expensive car is always right!

What the UK need is a Trump to sort out how things are done from now on. And don't you complain about it, we know best, even if afterwards maybe we were not.

l expect the Defender parked so as to leave a gap between it and the vehicle in front.
l bet that vehicle is also parked up to the line.

Parking spaces are too small for today's vehicles.

Not sure that can be the case… looks like a car park to me, so the chances of there being a car in front of the Defender are pretty slim.

Think it’s purely a case of bad parking by the Defender, going over the line and not leaving space for another car in the next space! 2025MY Defender 90 D250 X-Dynamic HSE | Santorini Black with Black Pack

Just as well it’s not the 130.

That’s one advantage of my 90, there’s not many, but it fits in a parking bay length but massive doors for getting out Laughing 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

If you drive an old One Ten, no-one is going to park anywhere near you anyway, so problem solved! Whistle
