I'm sure I read somewhere that all build dates were reported as Fridays - on the basis that the build was to take place during the week ending that Friday...

From another thread all build days are “officially” Friday, LR work on a week-ending date basis. Thumbs Up

They’re all Fridays, Land Rover’s system only works in weeks. It will be built the week ending that date.

Please mention WHAT TYPE of Defender you are ordering.
Essential for assessing if this calamity is some models and not others.

Why is this relevant ? Just that I see that you (The Hog) are in Rekjavik, and I am wondering if your particular manufacture and delivery is being "scheduled", to allow consolidation with other Icelandic orders to make the shipping economical ?

My dealer tells me it will take a month from build date to delivery here in Reykjavik.
We have a RORO ship doing weekly trips from Rotterdam to Iceland.
So - rather well connected.

For everyone else's info our dealer confirmed at the start of the week that our order has now been committed to build and is due to be built by the 05/03 for delivery on the 26/03.

We placed our order around mid-November it is a 110 D200 Basic (Black) with the Off-Road pack and detachable tow bar.

Keeping everything crossed for everyone else and your orders!

PS we are in Northern Ireland, ordered through Donnellys and can't fault our sales person Gareth, communication has been excellent throughout the whole process and very transparent.

Out of interest, I just looked at my build date. It's a Friday. Typical. That on top of Covid and supplier issues pretty much guarantees plenty of rattles and faults.

Got an email from my dealer this morning.
PHEW (P400e) will not go into production until MY22.
Delivery might be late summer or autumn 21.

I'd be using significantly more colourful language, myself.

Other folks this side of the pond are reporting that a lot of P400s are also being pushed as 2022s. D110 P300 (now here) -- Pangea Green / white roof / white steelies / Off-road pack / towing pack / cold-weather pack / heated seats and assorted fun odds and sods

The only plus side to this is the defender should keep strong residual values. Not a lot anyone can do given the disruption coronaviris is causing globally.
