    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Yeah good vid, can't wait for him to drive one. Speaking of brakes, he has some great videos of other competitors brakes and how they stand up in real world conditions. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    This is hilarious, every time i hear one of these parroted, thoughtless comments that people get from facebook comments, I think of this [emoji849] My favourite was the, "I dont like the styling" (of a disguised test mule) [emoji1787]

    If you knew it could be done for less, why quote the high figure, 2 real life experiences above both double and triple the quoted k's experienced. Whilst i appreciate the knowledge it can use brakes more, maybe just try not to paint things in an obviously overly negative light. New defender is...

    Not much especially in the first few years, especially if you spec it nice, they will be somewhat hard to get your hands on, LR has guaranteed buyback if your really worried. I never buy for resale, I buy to enjoy. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    Yeah was always going for petrol, Test drove the D240 D5, was for sure enough power, but coming from an LS RRC didn't excite me enough. Plus petrols seem to have less dramas these days(not that LR have probs like others with their diesels) . The D300 would be worth a test drive though or hybrid...

    It seems those that dont want to or cant affort to, feel the need to convince others to join them in thier choice. Im at the dealer right now finalizing HSE straight 6 petrol. [emoji41] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Wading depth is under mirrors not bow wave, hence me pointing out this to you. As has been pointed out now around 3 times, wade sensing is not about replacing checking river depth before you go in..so why keep bringing this up that you walk every river, so does nearly every 4x4er that knows...

    As said before the wade sensing is not for pre river crossing, its for during, sometimes you freak out seeing water over your bonnet, however with sensors under the mirrors, it gives you an accurate depth you can then know how deep it was and how much deeper you could go, training yourself...

    Android auto and apple carplay are standard in AU for new defender, basically your phone and its apps for music and nav on the screen including voice command, we have it on another new JLR car and i retrofitted to my RRC, brilliant tech. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Who ordered a New Defender ?

    Wowsers name calling?? Actually its a great feature, the sensors are already there for parking and the screens alreeady there so why not. Plenty of times ive wondered how deep that last crossing is (better than stopping and putting a tape measure out the window) and you are correct its no...

    Yes any bumper will have to have mesh or similar for airflow on left/right and prob centre, these things have been designed to run in Dubai and not get hot. That's not easy. This is the AU tubebar/winchbar, sensor and camera compliant, i like how it protects the side a little great for dense...

    Hey harry, 40k miles is not a small amount of driving, what happened? You say minor? In AU LR come and pick you up, temp car etc under warranty and fix it for free etc. As a comparison for you, a friend called me last night with a low KM Toyota hilux, injector failure then melted a piston, he's...

    Its funny how a comment gets the story more right than about 10 car news agencys. SVX 100% Hybrid 100% Edit: Small literage is possible with forced induction 100% Nailed it. Maybe SVR down the track, but i doubt it, SVX is way more fitting for the defender. Hardcore specs, efficient big...
