TFL update

Update on TFLs broken Defender. They only had their Defender for only 4 days out of 20 days. I ordered one and will get it next month. I am anxious that I might get one with problems like these. Let me know what you think guys?

In all the groups I’m in I’ve seen 2 major problems 1st one was a guy in Canada but the dealership bought his car back off him and he bought another defender which has had no major problems since, the other is TFL. Everyone else having minor issues with infotainment and odd rattles in door pillars etc. In general everyone that has one seems to love it

There are few of us in Australia that have taken delivery over the last 8 weeks, (had mine 4) and the most issues
we are having is with the media system losing apps, requiring the odd reboot, in the main which can be sorted by
software updates.

There is an "Australian All New Defender Owners group" on facebook, if you are on FB, join the group and get some
feedback from those who have taken delivery and can provide more relevant info such as local support/ dealer
assistance etc in Australia. Have you ordered a Diesel of P400 ?? yet another pommie bar steward down under

Thanks for your advise. Ordered the P400. I am actually excited for my order. Hopefully I don't get problems like these. Based on all the comments in this forum, most of you guys love your vehicle. I don't mind minor issues with the infotainment, where the fix is a simple reboot. No technology is perfect at the moment, even the new iphone 12 has wireless charging issues

i have not heard from any of the early adopters in Australia of any issues as yet, that has required their
car to be recalled for any major issues. Then again most of the Australian VIN numbers are in the
teen thousands and up (MY20.5 models) rather than the early manufacturing, so many of the issues in
terms of A pillar, creaky window trims etc are already sorted during manufacturing (he says hopefully)
