Tailgate Door Handle

My dealer tells me that my tailgate door handle denotes it's a special edition because it has 3 holes in it? It's certainly different to my TD5 one which is solid but is this right? 2016 Defender Adventure 110

2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

This weight saving project started with the launch of the Puma 2.2. The Puma 2.4 still has the undrilled handle, but then again, it also has 200cc more engine capacity.

Now that I come think of it, the weight savings of the three holes are completely outdone by the additional weight of the rubber leash that was added to the fuel cap of the Puma 2.2. Not sure JLR weight savings program for the Defender has been very succesful.

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Surely drill 4 and be "extra special"
