Original Build Spec
Hi Guys,

Suppose this is more aimed at our dealership sponsors, but is there any way to find out your original build spec?

Probably not so much a problem for younger vehicles but the longer the time a defender is on the road the more likely it will be changed from its original build spec, so more likely that when I declare my mods to my insurance company I am overlooking something?

Any thoughts?

Dog

You used to be able to get the basic build specs from a site called Topix

This is true, but mine is pre 2005 so a bit redundant Sad

I managed to get mine off there a couple of years ago but there were a few discrepancies such as it stated that mine was non abs and traction control but it has it fitted. There was another thing but for the life of me I can't remember what Rolling Eyes

Hi just go to any dealer with reg and chassis number and they will give you a full print out of build spec for your vehicle and any outstanding recall work.

The build spec for your vehicle is in the Microcat database, so anyone with access to Microcat who knows the VIN for your vehicle (or in most cases in the UK, the registration number) can get this information.

It is one of the reasons why many of us remove registration details from photos of our vehicles on the forum.
