2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey
NEW OWNER
Hi

After more than 2 years of thinking of ordering a 110 SW at last I ordered one on Saturday, (my other choice was a 3.0 Disco 4),I've ordered an XS in Black. I just hope I dont experience some of the issues some of you guys have had. I can cope with any mechanical issues but one thing that really worries me is body mis-alignment. It was this issue alone that nearly made me order a 90. I'm having nightmares, what happens if I dont spot it on collection Crying or Very sad . Still I must stop thinking the worst and think positive. Thumbs Up

I've ordered it from Yeovil Land Rover as they have amazing positive feedback on the Disco3 site. It appears that Nick in the Parts Dept gives discount to Disco3 forum members. Has anybody had discount or dealings on this site?

Also wanted to say many thanks for a great site its been very useful over the last year or so.

All the best

Sully

Hi.

Nice choice of vehicle,and don't stress as it never solves anything.Do a panel alignment test by putting a cat inside the Landie.If it gets out the door gaps are too big. Laughing If it suffocates,it's not a genuine Landie. Rolling Eyes

Welcome Thumbs Up

A lot of cars have issues, don't forget forums tend to focus on these as a forum can be a place where people go to complain. Many people own and run Land Rovers without problems but never mention it.

Hi Sully

My 110 DC came from Yeovil, twice !!

I had my first one replaced after a month due to the paintwork and numerous other problems. Yeovil LR were really good in getting the original vehicle replaced and also sorting out more bad paintwork on the replacement.

Hearing some of the complaints about other dealers on this site I would say that Yeovil are certainly one of the better ones out there. There are a number of staff at Yeovil that are really interested in Defenders so that does help in their favour.

As far as panels etc not being aligned, I don't think any of mine are - one on the joys of defender ownership !

If you are delaing with Jennie, make sure she gives you a voucher for a half day at Land rover Experience. We did our half day at Honiton and it was excellent !

I will look out for your new vehicle at the dealers, I only work 100 yards away !

Many thanks for your replies.

Yes I am dealing with Jennie so I'll ask for my Half Day Voucher. Thanks for that Bob. Glad to hear they were good at dealing with your issues.

I've also got to let Jennie know tomorrow if I'm going to change my mind and go for Stornoway Grey instead of Black. Confused Question

Both colours look good but I would also lean towards Stornaway grey epecially if the roof is white.The dust is not so visible grey too.Let us know how the cat test goes as mine did pass with flying colours but he was larger than Garfield. Rolling with laughter

Decision made, Stornoway it is. Now I've just got to wait for them to give me a delivery date. Which of course gives me time to study the accessories list Thumbs Up
