You are lucky over there that house builders / architects build garages to take higher, fatter cars, anything bigger than a Mini Countryman won’t fit into most standard UK garage at a new house here. 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!

Yeah it is nice to be able to protect my investment. My house was build in 1960 so the garage is still smaller than average. I could not forego the roof rack so I am just happy it made it. 2020 Defender S, P300 in Fuji White w/black ext. pack. Ebony leather heated front/rear seats. Comfort & conv. pack. Towing pack. Cold climate pack. Panoramic roof & expedition roof rack. Classic mud flaps. Fog lights. 19 inch 6 spoke w/off road tires. Clear sight rear view mirror. Sirius XM. Delivery 9/4/20

If they do fit, you may be unable to open the doors!

I am surprised that that would be the case with new construction. Just a function of land cost? 2020 Defender S, P300 in Fuji White w/black ext. pack. Ebony leather heated front/rear seats.

Welcome to the forum! Thumbs Up Great garage, though you might have to change your wall art! Laughing


Thanks! I won't be removing any of the wall art but I will be adding to it. I've been driving full sized Range Rovers since 2010 and I've owned 6 of them and loved them all. However, this new Defender has quickly become my favorite Land Rover. I'm really amazed at what Land Rover did with it. This thing works perfectly for me...it has the right amount of luxury mixed with the right amount of ruggedness. I also didn't realize just how big it was until I parked it in the garage next to my 2016 L405. The interior even feels roomier. The road manners are just as smooth as the Range Rovers and the 3.0L 6cylinder has more than enough power. I find myself looking for any reason to get in it and go for a drive.

More a function of the odd way the UK property market works. Floor area is rarely mentioned, just number of bedrooms. A garage just has to exist, the size isn't discussed. I read that one council now refuses to count garage space when calculating parking space on new developments as most are just used for storage and aren't big enough for a car.

Hello forum,

I'm new here but not new to the Land Rover brand. I ordered a new Defender 110 P400 HSE in January and it was just delivered to me yesterday. So far I'm very impressed with it...



That garage is cleaner than most people's houses. Do you clean and dry the tyres every time you get home? Bow down


Laughing not at all...the porcelain tile floor is pretty easy to maintain. I just sweep it out maybe once a week and I might wet the floor and mop it about every 2-3 months.

Phase 1 mods complete. Roof rack, classic mud flaps, throwback spare tire cover and wheels. Wheels were the six spoke silver 19 inch 200$ upgrade. Powder coated all five gloss black for 600$. Next phase is adding tow hooks and painting the silver bumper pieces.

Like the mudflaps!! Agree with painting the silver bumper bits, look much better black or bodied coloured. James

update from my dealer is that the only accessories in stock and available is the wheel arch protection,
so it looks like a return trip to the dealer in about three weeks for the rest of the bits to be fitted Laughing yet another pommie bar steward down under

For me there is only 3 colours worth having, Tasman Blue, Pangea Green and Fuji White. I would’ve liked to have seen more solid body colour options.

You have to take your hat off to the headlight design, it's a bit menacing, like it's saying 'come at me' Cool
