I did like that bit of kit ~ was going to look for a price of it later. Have a couple of panels on a quad that could do with fettling before minor cracks turn into parts falling off.

There are recalls for the Pivi Pro and the steering, mine goes in on Tuesday for them.

When you say "recall" do you mean that it's a full motor industry /Govt recall or is it more of a Technical Service Bulletin/Servive Message?

I cannot see how Privi Pro would be a “danger to life/ safety “ item needing a recall - suspect both these are TSB.

Philm - is th eteering one for the over intrusive Lane Assist system because mine is switched off as much as I can go down through the layers but it still cuts in which is a pain on the narrow roads around here where our generous council has white lined the road edges along the verge

The demo car I had didn’t appear to correct my steering. I should’ve checked the settings to see.

A strange thing, I have only once driven a car with an auto handbrake (and I detested the thing) but I have never, ever, had to sit with my foot on the brake all the time when stationary in a car. There are times when I choose to do this, but for all those other occasions I have, without the slightest problem, reached down and applied the handbrake by means of a lever placed there for the purpose.

This traditional arrangement has allowed me full control of the handbrake system, and has also proved useful on several occasions when I have needed to move a vehicle without the engine running, something I imagine is difficult with the 'improved' fully automatic handbrake.

This is not intended as a criticism of the new Defender by the way, since most vehicles are going in this direction, but I fully expect to get very cross the first time that someone rolls into me at a junction because they have forgotten that they are in the old car with a manual handbrake and a no longer clever enough to operate it. it will happen, we already seem to have many road users who are not clever enough to turn on their headlamps when it gets dark.

Hi, this is my first post do apologies if its in the wrong place etc. I've just bought a 2020 defender 100 first edition (which I love btw) but I'm having trouble with the media streaming and the online data pack. Has anyone else heard/experienced this? If so could you share a fix? I think it has something to do with the R (for roaming in the guide) next to the sim network strength indicator. i.e. in central London all seems to work - deepest Yorkshire, not some much. Its not a big issue but one which is giving me headache.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Thank you for calling me a complete and total arse with more money than sense, and for spending my money how I want to spend it, I don’t understand you, you hate the car so why do you bother to come to this part of the forum and spread such bile?
