Sell the kids if you want to go green
Looks like the third row seats have gone, would this be because the batteries have taken the place of the seats? 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

You may have a problem there. not much of a market in used kids.
No takers when I tried to sell mine Big Cry 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue
1967 Morris Traveller
1966 Morris Convertible
2012 VW T5 Camper

Apparently due to be added back in to the configurator soon. Not sure where the MHEV battery goes though.

You might have a better chance of selling children if you offer a buy one get one free Laughing For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I think its a configuration issue on the website the MHEV has the battery in the Engine bay as far as I know. The PHEV may well be a different matter I think the larger battery does sit under the load space. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE
RR MY23 HSE PHEV
D5 MY19 HSE - Now Sold
D4 MY16 HSE Luxury - Now Sold
D4 MY12 HSE - Gone
D3 MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

From the photos I have seen of the rear seat space, I suspect my kids would rather be sold than have to endure anything other than the shortest of journeys in row 3.
I do hope the 130 has a better arrangement with more legroom for the 3rd row, rather than just a larger load space behind the 3rd row.

My 14 year old prefers the 3rd row. Its really tight for a adult but i am 6ft 1 but teenagers and kids are fine.

Is it the Waitrose edition? Third row seats removed to make enough space to carry a weekly shop. WARNING.

One member here seems to think that most of us drive Defenders with quilted interiors and 18” wheels, I thought people who can afford that sort of modification of their old Defenders would have an account at Fortnums or Harrods Food Hall and have shopping delivered by a man in a carriage so no need for the space for the shopping in a new Defender. 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!

You say that, but sitting in the back of my 99 110 is analogous to being locked in a room with an angry cage fighter and an air raid siren. Whenever we take the scouts away, those seats are still the first to be filled!

How things have changed, my dad was a self employed engineer and a mini van was the family daily transport, my 2 brothers , sister and myself all used to be transported about in the back on an old mattress!!

no rear tv screens. no radio and only 2 small rear door windows to look out of, interesting thing is we were all happy DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy
