[quote="Ashbyandy"]I have had the Trackstar cat 6 advance fitted by my dealer. Thought that if there are any problems it can be taken to dealer, rather than dealer blaming a 3 party fitting company. It comes with two tags, and a tag needs to be present for the car to start. I keep it separate to the keys, so if keys get nicked hopefully I'm ok. Also you can set up geozones, with time schedules meaning should it be moved it will send me a discrete email straight away. I leave it set to 24 hours for the home zone, and got my fisrt email this morning, telling me it had moved, which you can ignore if it's legit. You can also track every journey you make via an app on your apple or smart device. Came in at £650 supplied and fitted, with an option for 1 or 3 years subscription, I took the three for £399.00. I considered the Skytag, but this does so much more. Also fully battery backed and monitors vehicle battery, sending an alarm if it is disconnected.
Hope This is useful to you, Bfn Andy[/quote] Many thanks Andy. Much appreciated. |

To all Avenutre 110 owners. I have just read my hand book, including a single page supplement relating to the engine specification. It has been given a change in power from 122ps to 150ps (or BHP) ie it is now the same as the 90, I thought it was pulling well on the way home on x-mas eve. Hope it doesn't upset to many 90 owners,

I'm going on what the supplement sheet said that was added to my vehicles user book, it didn't state 90's only. I will wait to see what the registration V5 says when I get it. However it does seem to pull well as I said earlier,

I suspect all the book sets are the same. I doubt JLR will get it wrong, although no one will complain.

Thanks Lord Hemming for the pics. I've seen those on google but just thought somebody may have taken delivery and had some different pics. Seems people are posting more about the heritage than the adventure. Personally I wanted the adventure and finally bit the bullet. I'm a bit excited as I've always wanted to buy one of the last defenders since I was a teenager., having learnt to drive in one and having spent most of my working life in one (you'd have thought I'd have learnt by now!). I must have looked at more defender related stuff over the last week than ever before! Hopefully more pics will be added soon, mine won't arrive until March.

IMHO, the 150HP upgrade relates only to Adventure 90 & Autobiography,........why it does not relate to 110 I have no idea, doesn't make sense to me,...maybe one of the tuners on here may know the reason.
Thinking about this, I'd love to see an Adventure 90 or Autobiography compared against an "ordinary" 90 on the rollers,....surely someone could do this? Pickles. Last edited by Pickles on 31st Dec 2015 8:06am. Edited 1 time in total |

I've just picked up my adventure 90
I also got a landmark 90 at the end of October I have to say the adventure does seem to have more mid range grunt than the landmark, But the biggest difference is the gear change, the adventure is so much more positive than the landmark Also the LED headlights make a massive difference |

Agreed - LED headlights would be a must have upgrade on any Defender.

I got the 110 Adventure last week. It has been fun to date. I have a Nakatanenga wheel carrier to fit tomorrow and then remove the 3rd row seats. MUD wide mirrors to be ordered and that is it.
Here is a picture at the dealers and the obligatory one with the family hound. Thanks all for the advice on here. Great forum. Next is planning a summer trip to the pyrenees. Any route advice welcome!

I've seen a lot of people talk about the wheel carrier, is it really necessary?

I doubt it. My 90 XS also came with the same supplement sheet... it's a mistake I am sure. YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Andy, cannot agree more that a good thorough Dinitrol application is a must, but as to the company you mention there, suggest you do a bit more research about them by a search on the forum here and elsewhere on the internet. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Mechanically it seems that a +/- 32 kg vertical load may seem too much for the rear door hinges/door itself - on the long term - especially if you venture off-road frequently - and especially if you travel corrugated gravel roads frequently. On smooth sealed bitumen it will be less of a problem - but long term the hinges or door seem to give problems eventually. 2 Types of wheel carrier available - with corresponding price difference - pros and cons discussed on the forum - but don't have exact link now. I have the Frontrunner one - very similar to the Mantec one - with 2 attached points. With less load and hence "vibration" on the rear door - it also seems the rubber seal works better and less dust ingress off-road. One does notice however - on an uneven surface - that there must be some body flex - and because of the 2 mounting points - that the rear door is slightly more difficult to open. (No problem with closing though) |
