Ahead of the expected delivery date I picked up my D200 110SE today and absolutely love it
 The dealer fitted a few bits for me at an agreed fee due to being a bit 'messed around' by the dealership although the new salesman has been on the ball so to speak.
It's a 110SE in white with the following options Defender SE D200 110 Changed wheels to 19” gloss black alloys with off road tyres Privacy Glass Electrically Deployed tow-bar Sliding panoramic roof Ebony Grained leather seat facings with Ebony interior 12-way heated and cooled electric memory front seats with 2-way manual headrests Light Oyster Morzine headlining Driver Assist Pack Adaptive Cruise Control Rear Collision Monitor Off-Road Pack Electronic Active Differential with Torque Vectoring by Braking Off-Road tyres Domestic plug socket Comfort and Convenience Pack Twin front cupholders with cover Front centre console refrigerator compartment Wireless device charging with phone signal booster Cold Climate Pack Heated washer jets Headlight power wash Heated steering wheel Front Classic Mudflaps Rear Classic Mudflaps I also had them fit extended wheel arches, the front under vehicle protection plate and the rear tow eyes. Unfortunately on the day I ordered it the larger screen was removed from the options list and only returned after the date to change had passed 
I do have a few extras that I'm going to fit, I got a spare wheel cover and had the centre section painted Fuji white, a RAI, the deep sided rubber mats, the boot led strip light and a couple of aftermarket cubby boxes and a rear door table, I'll post photos when I get them fitted First impressions, it's  brilliant!   So quiet, engine really pulls when it needs too, gearbox is silky smooth and I'm loving the Apple car play, the salesman did say to expect wireless Apple car play/Android Auto in the near future, fingers crossed.
It's good to be back in a Land Rover as my daily driver 
Had to go through to the coast to collect the car so stopped at the fish quay for a couple of photos  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Cheers Ian -------------------- 22MY Defender 110 D200 SE, Fuji White.

Looks
Tyres look chunky. Assume standard off road rather than dealer fit Duratracs |

Cheers, I love it
Cheers, yes just the standard factory supplied off road tyres, I'm thinking about getting a set of steel wheels and putting Duratracs on them Cheers Ian

Looks good
It’s a nice feeling being able to move from the order thread to the my defender thread 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue |

Another stunning Storm Trooper edition! Hope you have many happy miles with it.
Once the engine has loosened up a bit you will be looking at pretty good mpg and performance - did the dealers tell you to observe the running in period? Yes, there is one! Did Stirling to Liverpool on Monday and the return trip Wednesday - 500 miles all told on 2/3rd of a tank of diesel (£87’s worth of Sainsbury’s best diesel at £1.349 a litre) , average speed 63mph in my D240, clocked up the 13000th mile on the way home. 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! |

Yes I would agree. I had a response from my Dealer yesterday. ‘….the order will be slotted in due course as the planners are working on slotting orders at the moment. Please bear with us this will be sorted shortly.’ Apparently they have planners  |

Looks superbe. Saw a white one this morning on my way to work in the neighbour village.
Yours got nearly the same specs as mine, I will put the wheel protections and mudflaps later. Enjoy it. 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history) |

Hi Ian, glad you like it and it does look smart. I'd be interested to see the loadspace led upgrade as the factory ones are poor. Did your vehicle not come with mats as standard?
I can't understand why some vehicles have colour coded windscreen pillars and some are black? Mine are black. In other news I'm collecting THE white one on Monday. |

Looks a great looking vehicle! I wouldn't worry about the smaller screen either. I think the 10" definitely fits with dash styling better than the larger one, and is my screen of choice.
Enjoy! Defender 90 HSE 250D 2022MY - Gave up after two failed orders |

If it has the coloured square then it gets colour coded pillars. I didn’t spec the square on my 90 so I get black pillars. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue |

Love it! Great car. Here’s to a long happy relationship 🍻
The respect I have for the ND has grown this week. We’re on holiday in Cornwall and it done some decent miles, caravan in tow. One thing that has really come into its own on the dark narrow country lanes, are the matrix led headlamps. They are simply superb! Also, I ran low on fuel yesterday, and ‘no problem’ I thought, there’s a fuel station about 5 miles up the road. However! I noticed the sat nav had automatically shown all the local stations within about a 30 mile radius, and also displayed the current price. The station just up the road was at £1.47 for diesel, but I noticed the Sainsbury supermarket in Truro was £1.33 so about 6 miles further, but on a big tank like the Defender has, a decent saving. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

I did get rather carried away with ticking boxes
Cheers, it's nice to actually be an owner now
Cheers Tim, the dealer didn't mention anything but I'm old enough to remember the signs on the back of cars which read, "Running in please pass" and it will be treating it right for the requisite number of miles
Cheers, when I first saw it I knew I had made the right decision in choosing to add the extended wheel arches, I really like it
Cheers, the larger screen does seem a bit of an extra while the smaller one blends in well, at least that's what I keep telling myself
Cheers Gareth, I thought I was having problems with the app last night and it just kept saying no vehicle associated with this account! Then I read your message on Facebook and tried it again this morning and it's working fine now Cheers Ian
