Should I worry? ........... 8 months old and 7k miles - not a single warranty claim to date.

yes it can be a worry. Drove mine home from the dealer in the afternoon, and was flat bedded the next morning. They had it for two weeks then I got it back for a week. Then flat bedded again and lost for 5 weeks. Tuff way to enjoy a new car which was my work car as well. Still I was loaned a Freelander 2 which I became quite fond of, and being brand new I showed some respect, but being a tradie I still needed to get all my junk around the place.
When you start to hear these type of stories I am not surprised they want to kill off Defender in its current form. Robots tend not to make the same mistakes a humans. Just weather us humans, or old school lovers will accept the new robot built Defender. I'd assume it will be robot built, as the discussion in this thread is a reality no CEO can't ignore. Od this is, even some of the Freelancers and Disco's I have had a loaners have generated a systems problem dash light occasionally. My Defender and travels |

Did he say standard 2,2tdci? Standard as in...just safety upgrades, or standard as in 'racing' standard? Edit: And that's what happens when you type before googling... http://www.bowlermotorsport.com/motorsport/defender-challenge/ Very impressive! |

Crickey, that list is too long. Best of luck with the next 20k, Plodster. That being said, I think Toyota is doing a good deal on Hilux's at the moment - Andrew - |

After a few years on non-Land Rover ownership I am now back in a low kilometre 2013 110 station wagon. My previous 2007 Defender had the following replaced in 52,000km:
Clutch at 20,000km. Transfer case output seal. EGR valve 50,000km. My new (used) Defender had 8500km on it when I purchased it over the weekend. Drove it 1000km home that day in which time it would not start after filling up with fuel half way through the trip. On the 4th attempt if fired up so I moved it away from the bowser. After parking for a few minutes, same problem. I think it is either starter or more likely an anti-theft problem / glitch. It is also now leaking from the front differential pinion seal. All I can do is smile! Is that wrong? One bonus is that all panels are aligned very well and no dents in the panels other than the normal unevenness. I have adjusted all the doors so they now shut without having to slam them to close. I am surprised that the 2.2 seems way noisier than my old 2.4. Maybe that is just my imagination. I thought it was meant to be quieter. The dealer rang me to see how I got on with the trip home and I mentioned the few issues I had. The response was "that is what the warranty is for"  |

My two cents...
Land Rover 110 HCPU MY2012, currently at 18000 km -not many of them on bituman. -Unidentified rattle from passenger door from delivery (been back twice and 'fixed' under warranty) |
