21MY 90 D200 S

Well picked it up at 12:05 today, a bit rain during the handover but stopped in time for driving out.

I haven’t taken any good photos, that will come tomorrow, hopefully in better weather.

All I can say is it’s fantastic, feels very Land Rover Defender like, if that makes sense. The coils are good, you do feel some bumps and a bit more body roll but as I said it feels and drives like a Land Rover. I definitely need to get a set of side steps, it’s high

no way I can wash the roof without them.

I’ll do a better write up after a few days with it.

This is all your getting at the moment

You’re talking about washing it already?

I’m from the “that’s what the services are for” camp, even if they are every 2 years.

Good to hear re ride on the coils.

It won’t be getting washed for a while.

I forgot to add the 3.0 engine is a gem, very quiet, very smooth. Starts instantly and sounds amazing. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Cheers Tim its definitely been the longest I’ve had to wait on a Land Rover.

Land Rover may think their configurator is broken

Superb you got it at last. I did plump for the air and glad I did, my wife (aka both of us) are finding it so easy to get in and out of

as opposed to the old 110.
Yes the engine is sooo smooth and quiet, its almost like an electric car at slow speeds, already had problems with pedestrians.
Stop start works amazingly well too, the automatic "hold" takes a bit to get used to, but then I'm not used to a car so new with all this fancy stuff

Did you get a towbar? 90S D250 fuji and loving it.

No tow bar.

The brake hold feature is great and as you say the stop start works well.

Side steps will be the first addition as soon as they become available.

Another quick pic

~~Thank for that!~~ Great news 👍

If you turn the brake hold off in the vehicle settings, you can still activate it when you want it by pressing the brake hard once you’ve stopped. I find that easier to live with. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV
