6ft 6 inches to top of roof bars at access height.

He a tall boy that’s for sure. I’ll be very careful at the local tip! (Adswood) which is 6ft 6.75 inches! 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

My Series won’t go in the local tip. The snorkel hits the bar. I have to sneak over the border to Cheshire where they have higher barriers.

You just need to take the Jaaaaaaaaag to the tip. Can’t carry much so lots of trips needed.

At least you 110 owners can lower the car. Those of us that were tight and didn’t tick the option for it on the 90 might struggle. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

This is something that ive been trying to work out - im not sure lowering it helps that much - its way taller at access than the d5...the shark fin is the highest point...i need to do some more work on it Mike

Glad you confirmed what this guy said

I will have the same issue at Bredbury - hunkered down with its rack on, mine will just sneak under the 2m barrier

Have you got roof cross bars fitted? They sit 2” over the shark fin. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Could always let air out of the tyres to further lower it....

Could that be the excuse to spec the built in compressor?

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!
