I’ve yet to watch it but I thought P400 was only on the X? That doesn’t look like an X. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

What was going on with the flashy rear light show?

I'm amazed the rear box blocks the view out of the side mirrors. Didn't Land Rover both to test the options? 2005 Td5 90 XS

Haven’t watched the video yet but if the rear lights are all flashing it means he’s pressed the trailer lights test button in the boot....... great stuff to keep small kids amused along with making the tow hook appear and disappear while flattening the battery.......

I see he’s edited in a comment that he had pressed the lights testing button - bit surprised he didn’t comment on the clever tailgate gas strut that allows you to lock the tail door open in any position between closed and fully open so it won’t swing closed on you and chop your legs off! No shovels required in this Defender to stop the tailgate suddenly closing on you! Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

The lights were the trailer bulb test, he hit the button while deploying the towbar.

It’s a 20MY car so P400 was available in different trims to what is currently in the catalogue.

£81k is about £30k more than he would need to spend to get the important bits and none of the unnecessary fluff.

Bit surprised he didn’t mention that the four pot diesels are replaced by six pots now

I can scarcely think of something less suited to a farmer if the cream coloured seats are stained by rainwater.

I get where he’s coming from in thinking of it as a replacement for his Range Rover though (in a positive way) but with the D300 engine.
