But the Gren is not a "first edition". In fact, USA gets the '24MY vs the '23MY supplied to all previous markets. And you can order one today.

Apparently over 7000 orders in the USA.

I love this thread.

Absolutely - plus I’ll get more power and torque!

That MPG is about what I achieved driving my '96 Discovery over 16 years. It's pretty much a non-issue. A modern diesel on the other hand, no way I would touch one.

Agreed, I can handle the mechanical portion, plus the 5yr/60k warranty and current B58 knowledge/aftermarket should get me to a point I'm comfortable with non-dealer solutions. I'm going all in on this one.

I have a hard time believing you will enjoy towing with any of those vehicles, especially given your tow-vehicle history. Enjoy the new phase of your life! That's awesome.

I would like to see more info on this. To date there are specific factory spring selections based on final vehicle specification, but not market-specific spring selections. Spring rate source click here.

Yeah, I get it. for comparison I'd have 1.5-2 hour drive each way. Warranty issues in the UK, Germany and Oz have been mostly annoying blips and nothing major. A software update was released this week, which could be needed fixes or signaling the prep for NA builds.

When we purchased a ‘96 Discovery the LR dealer network was not that extensive. We had to drive to Philly area dealers from rural NJ. No biggie - I handled routine maintenance myself, scheduled warranty related dealer visits and enjoyed that vehicle for 16-years of daily service & extended...

I can’t provide a link, but my local 4wd shop sold them for sub-$300. This casual conversation developed while they tried to find a slow leak (tire) I was also unable to locate. He mentioned the sale price and I said two sets please (no black available so I got one set steel gray and one set tan).

Apparently INEOS raised the GVM to 3550 for Australia, and it requires bigger/brighter Cat 6 side indicators. So all Australian vehicles will have standard indicators removed and replaced before they can be registered.

oops…

I didn’t bother with the video since it doesn’t affect me personally. There has been chatter from Australia they they may be able to get a GVWR increase certified.

Mine was confirmed July 14th. They’ll get to it, just no rhyme or reason why they haven’t yet…

Search McMaster-Carr they have a virtually unlimited selection. You’ll likely have to choose food grade over potable.

Heavier is double-edged, as it requires more tension to set-up and to fight wind. I'm still using my "red" Noah tarp, which has become our fave beach shelter, and no signs of failure...

I just did the same! I look forward to testing it out, and eventually replacing my 20L British MoD water jugs.

I drove a prototype in April. It had a floaty solid axle feel that immediately reminded me of my '96 D1. Vehicle size, build quality, space, layout and factory features (under full factory warranty) all checked their boxes. I was sold instantly.

Petrol consumption reports from the EU and Oz have been higher, and I personally think it's par for the course. It is not built like a lightweight, subject to a large manufacturer's CAFE standard goals, or victim of cross-platform feature-numbing cost-sharing. For that last point I will gladly...
