My 23MY 110 XS D250

Well picked up the 90’s replacement this morning, a Hakuba Silver XS Edition. Not my first choice but there was a deal on the table and the car was already here and Defender values are starting to slide. Originally I was told I couldn’t have it until September but that all changed they wanted it out asap. A little Brucie bonus as well, it’s working out £50 per month cheaper than my D200 90 S, at the start of the week it was working out the same.

Pictures to follow.

Oh and also got this.

Enjoy the new motor J. Does it have air suspension or is it one on coils?

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!

Cheers Tim, yes this one’s on air, the one that’s still on order is coming on coils though it was ordered when air was standard. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

How's the size? Enjoy the extra space in the 110 or miss the 90? https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

Nice. I got a Landrover box when my car was delivered this morning which I haven't opened, but it certainly not deep enough for Gin.

The size is nice, a lot better for the dogs but at the same time I miss the compactness of the 90

I’m going the other way - 110 to 90 - but must admit I might have to reconsider as the 90 failed the Sainsbury “Bag for life” test to my Mini…….. Mini 5, 90 2……… because the Mini’s boot is deep enough to get the bags in end on without squashing, unlike the 90’s where they had to go in length across the width of the car to avoid crushed eggs….
Mini looses out badly to the 110 though! 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

Head says buy a 110!
But heart says get a 90!
I did and I love it!
Of course you need to fold the seats down to get more than two shopping bags in the boot, and because of that, the grand kids (with their sticky, grubby little fingers and complicated car seats) need to go in my wife’s Range Rover, but is that not a good thing? 😂😂

That’s the reason I bought the 90 in the first place, I followed the heart. Back in 2019 I was ordering a 110 but after going to the preview event at Halewood and seeing the Wilks Brothers 90HT, I was sold on the 90.

Still love the 90 and if LR had put more thought into the rear seats I wouldn’t even look at a 110. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Fair comment on the rear seats of the 90.

Ok first chance I’ve had to play, so here’s a couple of photos just to prove it happened

Had a spot of lunch by the river, made use of the fridge, it done a pretty good job.

Saw a Hakuba Silver 110 in the wild 2 days ago and it had this incredible glimmer to it. 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof
