Hi All,

Travels well......

First class Thumbs Up Indus Silver looks slightly whiter than Zermatt Silver but could just be the picture, it's shiny anyway Very Happy

We now need a guide on what to do when you pick up your new Defender.

Reinforce rear mudflap bracket if it's a 110 e.g. like the Entreq one!
Take off engine lifting eye if it has one.
Running in, used to be in the 2007 manual apparently, now it's not, some dealers advise others don't! Think it was not to go over 2 or 2500 rpm for the first 1000 miles!

Anything else important to help him out?

sweet mate... enjoy! Very Happy Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...

'Wow...! What a ride!
