If you get SWMBO to get in first it will soon warm up.

Someone will twist that I bet.

Reckon they may well rocket in price perhaps towards the end? .

Thought they would, but at £600 each from a dealer they bought one got one free. Or could have bought half a Recaro, three ZUs or one ARB Intensity light for that price..... all pretty useless on their own...Someone's happy to have paid. Part of the uniqueness of Defender ownership.....along with the scoffers and scorners of course.

Twist what? Need to warm them up and lubricate first.

Thought you might have had a little understanding? You didn't buy them did you and are just laying a smokescreen?

Another one for sale on ebay. Seems they have come down in price since a year ago. Buy it now at £449.20 only...

Good thing is that he/she who buys it still has to lay out probably a similar amount for the transfer stick. And some more for a pair of fine leather driving gloves to protect his cold hands. Luckily my leather Swiss Legend tool bag included such a pair of gloves.

Yup I live at 900m altitude and can confirm the knob is bloody cold in the mornings.

Arran, so your SVX does not have the heated knob option?

2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 CSW Keswick Green

Are these items still available new, & if so, what would be the cost. Do they each need a different "stick", or do the knobs simply fit the standard one?

Pickles,
Of course genuine are still available from JLR dealer network. Are you really sure you want to hear the price?

I could help you with Swiss prices as have to take the SVX to the dealer tomorrow to install a new fuel breather pipe, but probably wiser inquiring with your own Aussie dealer, should give you a less bad heart attack than Swiss dealer prices.

Rgds, Eric

P.S. - just read in K9F post higher on this page what genuine cost from UK dealers. Take a deep breath first before reading what follows.

When reading that and knowing that Swiss prices will be at least UK X 2 or more, I think that after all I have still been very lucky with the price JLR Switzerland sold me a leather Legend tool bag. Sounds like a present almost suddenly.
