I’m like a small child (of 49) waiting for Christmas. Picking up a D300 SE on Sunday. Your pictures are great and are seriously not helping my lack of patience! I’ve never driven a D300 (or any 6 cylinder) so a bit of a leap of faith.

Very nice.

What do you think ? So far i'm really liking the 6 cyl , Wouldn't have minded the higher power one but we bought ours on a whim and it was in stock so really didn't have a choice of spec 3 Landrovers

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Santorini Black

I got a D250 S 110 hardtop.

It drives like a dream, the engine is sweet as

I was not expecting this vehicle to ride and drive as good as it does.

It’s on coils not air. The drive is equal to that of my Discovery 5.

It is a fantastic vehicle

Just a little update in case anyone is interested. We're on day 2 of a week long road trip. Henley to the Yorkshire Dales and then on to the Cairngorms with 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a large dog. So far the Defender has been superlative: very smooth motorway cruising but on the lanes around the dales it has really felt at home, very planted but with enough poke for confidence-inspiring overtakes.

Only mod worth mentioning so far is the load space divider which (whilst fiddly to fix) I would recommend to anyone doing trips with dog and baggage.

Only faults/niggles so far are the plastic trims at the bottom of the door coming away a bit (as mentioned in the faults'n'fixes section). Oh, and the portable rinse system (which came with the Country Pack) - thought that might be useful with muddy dog so filled it up before heading off - gave it one pump to test it and it proceeded to explode and cover me with water (completely failed seal) - to which my wife said "that's so Land Rover".

Heading off to Scotland this morning.
