My MY13 90 XS
Hi all,

Picked my new XS up a few weeks ago.

As per advice received on here it is having layered security applied first, then my project/customisations will kick off as pennies and wife allows.

Pretty standard journey so far:-

Pick it up
Love it
Rain
Leak through the bulkhead somewhere Big Cry
Back to dealers and throw the ingress manual at them. Whistle

To be fair - My dealer has been great thus far, they managed to sort me another defender XS as a loaner and will have had mine for 10 days by the time I get it back - Interestingly the loaner (a 13 plate) also leaks (windscreen hinges and elsewhere).

It's having the rear glass tinted and a trackstar cat 6 fitted while it's in, when I get it back it's off see Chris at CSK for a full Dinitrol treatment and Steering wheel/Quick release boss.

Will post some pictures when I have it back.

Cheers for a very informative forum guys

John

Got it back from Chris on Wednesday (Highly recommend him) and she went back to the dealer to have the tinting redone as the first job was atrocious.

No longer leaking on the driver side (they sealed the windscreen) but still a dribble into the passenger foot well dripping from or around the matrix intake.

Hopefully soon I will get her back to keep for longer than 5 days lol.

Here she is at CSK having her undercarriage sorted with Dinitrol

So an update

I finally got notified today that my defender had the tints redone - took 2 weeks and they didn't even take the side sliding windows out Shocked

After 13 days I decided to find out where it was via the tracker and then go down and speak the people Lancaster had subbed the work too - turns out the guy who does the tinting was on holiday for two weeks and had only returned that day. So went over to Lancaster and had a bit of a chat - I kept calm (god knows how).

The other work (fixing the remaining leak and replacing a shoddy door card) hasn't even been started yet.

I'm in hospital next week then on holiday the week after. So I have told them to keep it until the 18th at which time I expect it to fully sorted or they can keep it and give my money back so I can go to a better dealership.

So - 6 weeks of ownership, they have it 4 (so far) Big Cry

ANY other work, it will be going to Chris because he actually 'gives a Censored ' and therefore worth the 100 odd mile round trip.
