Extras price rise?
Is it just me or have the prices for options and accessories gone up on the configurator? I was ticking boxes, as you do, and started to see higher prices, like a good few hundred quid higher for 18” alloys over steelies. And accessories, I’m sure the wheel arch extensions were £591, now over £600. Sneaky price rise?

Yes I've noticed this - loadpace mat is now £145 rather than £144 and the ladder is now £712 rather than £708. Colour and wheel options seem unchanged

From my D3's along with a front towing eye cover I do still have a single D3 18 inch Type 2 Mark 1 wheel with an approx 500 mile old Pirelli Zero on it - whilst the stud pattern might be right on this, the D3 took 255/60R18 tyres as opposed to the New Defenders 255/70R18 tyres so its no actual use to me as a second spare when the new one turns up...

I've noticed this too. And I've a feeling a wheel option that was free is now a chargeable option, even though it's only a colour change.
Been deliberating on my spec of a 110 Hardtop for weeks now. Settled on an SE with a few extras. Speaking to dealer tomorrow so having another look through and tbh, there isn't much in the way of extras (that I consider important) over the base or S model so now wondering about going for S spec and adding a few more things.

S is £3k cheaper than SE how I've specced. These are with D250. Only sticking point is I really want the D300 but gotta go with the SE to get that engine. Don't want to be disappointed with the power but guess I won't.
My D4 had higher torque than the D250, My D5 had higher torque than the D300. Decisions decisions!

I built a 110S with a P3 and a 110 SE with almost identical specs minus the P4 engine, 10k price difference.

You rarely hear tales of last rites, where the last words uttered were "I wish I had gone for all my cars in a lower specification'

Most wish they had done more and seen more and experienced more.

D300, only because there is no D400

Shrouds have no pockets is the one I remember.

Although if you work hard early in life frittering away what you have then it may well hasten you into said shroud.

Ok, reckon I'll go for a D300. I don't need massive persuasion Laughing
Just need the dealer to return my call now. Email prompt to call me 24 hrs ago and heard nothing. It's only £65k though so not that important! Evil or Very Mad
