Is that a redesigned rear underbody protection guard to replace the previous scoop / sand anchor?
It looks a lot neater.

My immediate thought, based on shape and the type of connector, is that it is a fuel filter or something of that ilk.

Re. the tyre pressure monitoring, as noted above some form of TPMS is now mandatory (since motorists are now too stupid/incapable/bone idle to check their tyre pressures), but it could be an in-tyre device or interpolated from wheel speed.

Too much, I suppose, to hope for an optional proper central tyre inflation system on the vehicle!

I have been following this from the start and I am happy with the direction the vehicle has taken. It seems they are concentrating on good solid engineering over styling rather like the early Land Rovers. Fair enough the styling was taken from a Defender when Mr Radcliffe said that was the type of vehicle he liked and wanted. If Land Rover won't make it for him he'd make his own.
I never had a problem with the Land Rover rear door and despite the Grenadier having a wider door opening at the back it still only takes a euro pallet in the back the same as the Defender. I like the dash Land Rover used from the 90/110 through to the revamped Puma version so the Grenadier dash, though still in development, would take a bit of getting used to especially with the large screen in the centre.
Land Rover nailed it with the seperate seat base as bases wear quicker than the seats. It is easier and cheaper to replace a base than a whole seat so I had hoped Grenadier would follow this tradition.
I know it will come in at a higher price point than the 90/110 type Defender but that is due to the high quality and strength of the compnents. If Land Rover had revamped their 90/110 type Defender in this direction I would have been happy with a similar price point for it.
I would like a manual gearbox as that is all I have driven. Anyway I like it and like everyone else I look forward to the on sale version.
By the way, is the Grenadier permanent four wheel drive like the 90/110 and Puma? 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Good question! I do hope so, since in my opinion that is one of the great strengths of the classic Defender - full-time 4WD with a proper centre diff, rather than either part-time or a crappy Haldex-type unit.

I would have though the removable seat base (on a defender) was just to facilitate acces to the batteries & fusebox, not for any help in changing worn out bases.

Probably but it is an added bonus to be able to swap them over or replace them. They are also handy for sitting on when removed from the vehicle! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Seems to be the consensus Thumbs Up

It wasn't there on earlier photos, but then there appears to be lots of things they haven't made final decisions on, which is all good.

A question which has just occurred to me, but don’t think has been discussed. Does the BMW diesel have a self priming fuel system? Must be someone on here who has said the same engine in a BMW who may know. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

So another question.

What type of coupling is this?

It's certainly looks different from the open universal joints on earlier prototypes:

Some sort of diaphragm connector. I hope someone can give an exact type. 1995 Defender 110 CSW

Looks a bit like the old rotoflex couplings from the olden days. The prop does look very skinny where it goes into 5hr coupling. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Not to mention you could take them out then sit with your back against a wheel whilst enjoying a drink of some description..... Very Happy

The driveshaft coupling looks like the cv joints I had on my beach buggy back in the day (open driveshaft type not swing axle)
