Yeah I saw that after the fact which is pretty impressive IMO open diff. Should be really good with some proper high profile tires and the locking rear diff.

He could have avoided burning his arm. But yeah I agree it wasn’t over dramatized.

There’s a company in the UK that makes front and rear LSD’s for the RRS that will more than likely work in the Defender. That in combination with traction control should be adequate for most things. Maybe if there’s enough demand ARB will come up with some air lockers for it.

Thank you! If you want a base model with nothing but the off road goodies you can order that.

Simply put the P300 has shorter gears to help make up for the 100hp disadvantage. It makes the engine not have to work as hard to move the vehicle you do loose a little fuel economy and some top speed though. It might also give it a better crawl ratio but I’d have to check on that.

Not sure on the axles but the P300 does have 4.11 gears. The P400 has 3.55’s.

Not sure how I feel about that. It’ll probably turn into a TSB if other Defenders have the issue.

A B58 in a Defender style vehicle would be neat. I just hope this vehicle isn’t super ugly. Some of the spy shots I saw of the actual body look like a uglier 463 g wagon.

Definitely. Sharp looking truck!

The diesels in other countries get the 18” wheels. LRNA won’t import the diesels. So there’s at least two engine options in the UK that fit 18’s. You can only get the P400 on the X.

The 18” wheels come on multiple engines the problem is LRNA.

Yeah you are stuck with 19’s or 20’s or swapping brakes or going with the smaller engine.

19’s are standard. Lucky 8 said 20’s are the new 18’s because there aren’t many 19” off road tires.

Gonna be honest the worst part of this is that the dealer couldn’t find it. The hood latch I’m not sure on it’s probably the same latch other Land Rovers use so it might be a bad batch sucks but we might see a recall on it and maybe the GPF. Frankly the dealer should have seen both of these...

I actually did the calculations and the 2.0l 4cyl has almost the same power to weight ratio as a V8 LR4. It’s actually better than a SCV6 LR4.

Too small for what? Towing? If your towing you would want the bigger brakes anyway. It makes the same power as a V8 LR3 it weighs 1000lbs less and has two more gears and from the one review I’ve seen on it it sounds like a very smooth plenty powerful enough engine. If the V6 in my LR3 is enough...

That’s exactly what I’d order.

Buy the smaller engine or swap the brakes and 18’s will go on. Frankly I’d just buy the smaller engine.

A lot of guys in Australia and South Africa do. I’ve considered doing it on my Discovery I’m leaning towards doing it especially whenever I finally get to do the Pan Am trip.

I’m almost positive Safari Gard is working on some stuff for the new Defender as well.
