Thanks for this. That has put my mind at rest actually. There are a few ‘brand new and available now‘ First Edition Defenders for sale at dealers around the country I notice. When you look at their spec versus our individual specced cars they are very good value for money. But they just have quite a bit of kit I don’t want or need, while missing a couple of things I wanted and would need to add, even if they are not that much more than the one I’m getting. And I’m personally not a huge fan of the black roof Sold the Puma Defender and bought a brand new Pangea Green 2020 Defender D240 S with a few factory extras! |

That's ok. They'll be on their third or fourth owner by then and the solution will be to pop rivet a sheet of ali chequer plate over the opening  Darren

Got an update from my dealer today, the Defender i ordered was loaded on to the Tonsberg which left Southampton
on the 27th July. Assume it was loaded at Zeebrugge rather than the UK.. Tonsberg due to unload on the 12th September in Australia.. So the 3rd/4th week of September for me to pick it up looks doable  Click image to enlarge yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

Welcome to the forum Wokkaman, a regular poster on RRSport. I bet this one won’t fit into a Chinook
The new video posted in the general q020 Defender section shows what the Khaki interior looks like. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Hi Tim, just clicked on your Fuelly link; interesting, not clicked on it before. I may create an account when I pick my Defender up. I've always just had a small notebook to record my fill ups and then do the maths afterwards. Do you use the mobile app?

No I just keep the receipt, I note the Odo reading (Not the trip!) and pence per litre on it and then enter the numbers when I get home.
My Ave MPG has dropped because of my off-roading day mostly in low ratio 2 weekends ago. It’s also 3 weeks since my last fill up - purely leisure driving as I’m retired now also I haven’t yet driving it into Glasgow, just to the county twin offStirling where I do my shopping. Be careful when setting up the units because it is an American website so read the engine type and units carefully. I’ve just redone my figures in my signature as it was showing Mile per US Gallon instead of U.K. numbers 
I’m still really happy with the consumption figures though and now I have 1300 miles on it it’s off for a 70 mile each way motorway run with 30 miles laning on Sunday but I don’t expect much low box stuff as it’s a day driving on the tracks used for construction and maintaining wind turbines at the biggest onshore wind farm in Europe Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior.

No, nowhere in Scotland is open access unfortunately. This is an annual run but I’ve always been at sea when it’s been on. It’s club members only.

I have one on order. Due in on 9-25. 65,000 US on the build. Its an S with the 4 cylinder. Wanted the six but there were options I had to have and things my wife had to have. Fuji White with black pack, Roof rack, Panoramic sunroof, 19 inch six spokes, off road tires, spare tire cover, classic mud flaps, hood decal and fog light. On the inside seats ebony leather, cold climate pack, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, center console cooler, clear site rear view mirror, and towing pack. I put 500 down but I still haven't driven one. Having a few doubt's. The Grenadier has got me thinking. Everyone and their brother is gonna have a new Bronco so I'm good on that. I like the new Defender a lot but I would have preferred a slightly more boxy appearance and a slightly lower price tag so we will see if I pull the trigger when it comes in

The spec sounds fantastic, but maybe rather than change to a Grenadier, you could just loose a few of the pricier options? Maybe your wife too would rather loose a couple of her options rather than go to a Grenadier if you showed it to her. I do hope you stick with it. I think when it arrives you’ll be like a dog with two dicks to be honest. Sold the Puma Defender and bought a brand new Pangea Green 2020 Defender D240 S with a few factory extras!
