One of the rear seats wont release from the floor in my 90. Its been put down twice and up once successfully! car has only done 300kms!

Still if that's the only thing that goes wrong I will be happy.

Mine is running loverly at 3 years and 11k miles some minor issues I have had
1/ grinding noise when new going round corners, I fixed this myself after finding the front drivers side disk shield rubbing on the disk
2/ head lamp levelling indicator does not light up , been in for this twice and still not fixed, will do it myself at some point, stereo dropped on the floor after dealer messed with it
3/ got the common knocking noise when slowing down in neutral when it was new this went away after a couple of K miles (handbrake adjustment?)
4/ Corrosion on windscreen frame spotted after 6 months fixed at 2 years OK since
5/ Knotchy gearchange improved with age but still not great when changing from 1 to 2

makes me smile every time I drive it and will keep it as long as I can DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

"stereo dropped on the floor after dealer messed with it "

Therein lies the issue for me with warranty on small niggly issues. Give it to the dealer for 3 issues and get it back with 4 new ones!

Just back from touring Ireland - at 8 months old it has never missed a beat or had a single warranty claim. It doesn't leak and no parts have failed or fallen off.

If you take the plastic panel off next to the handle, just a couple screws, there is an adjustable turnbuckle that will need adjusting so the seat releases properly. The locking nut wasn't tight on mine and the same happened, sorted in about 15 minutes. Hope this helps.

It's been raining hard here for hours and it's bone dry inside the 110.

3,000 miles now covered and absolutely zero defects to report. This has included a gentle run in for the first 2,000 miles and then a couple of weekends exploring the green lanes across Cumbria, Westmoreland and Northumbria. Weather wise it has seen monsoon style downpours (and it doesn't leak), gale force winds (it does sway about) and sunshine (the interior does get hot).

It just does what I expected it to do.


Almost 12 months old and not a single problem to report - not a single warranty claim made - not a single complaint or problem to report - not a single component has failed, fallen off, corroded or given me grief.

So another thank-you to Land Rover.

Same here

Second service looming and not one problem. Runs sweet as a nut. Also annoyed my mate with a chipped td5 because I kepted up with him. No leaks with this one and no juddering at low speed. I hated my last 2.2 but this one is fantastic.
