I guess it must be a misbuild? Or are my expectations too low?
Noisy. Lumpy gear change. Slow throttle response from idle. Shunt/knock from the drivetrain, but it's a Defender and I'll be honest it's what I expect from one. So am I wrong and should I be sending my dealer's warranty figures through the roof with some "on customer complaint" claims?

Al,
Mine was the same. Remember that horrendous noise the transmission was making on the Salisbury Plain trip? I've had a new clutch, gear stick assembly and ecu upgrade on warranty and its fine now. 
By the way, has anyone ever mentioned a striking resemblance to this fella??
Sorry, but Maire mentions it every time she see's him on the TV Cheers Ian |

When I think of NoDo$h he always reminds me of Blodwyn on Taff Wars I would have voted but the 'Get it checked you Poof' option is not available  |
