    Hi I'm new to this forum and am too looking to add a few accessories to my new D90, unfortunately even though I've signed a contract for a new D90 over a week ago my dealer still doesn't seem to be able to find a new D90 that is silver with LR dual tone wheels, in fact my dealer even went on to say today they can't get any colour D90, how hard can it be, it seems a bit odd to me that LRA are having a sale with no vehicles to sell. Any body have similar problems.

    And just on the topic of accessories, does anybody know where you can get the LED rear lights that are listed in the current Defender catalogue under accessories. The dealer cant seem to locate these either!!! I'm very frustrated!!!

    Thanks for any feedback

    Cheers
    Graham

    The rear LEDs were a factory option that were fitted as standard to the Fire and Ice models (never sold in Au) and they will be standard on the Defender X-Tech Limited Editions when they arrive later this year:



    I think they were also on the SVXs. There are a few owners of SVXs on the forum that would be able to say. I suspect your dealer is just not bothering to push the issue. Has the dealer sent an email off to LRA or has he just seen that they are not on the standard options list. Push a bit harder, especially if it looks like you will have to wait. You can certainly get after market ones that look almost identical (see http://www.mobilecentre.co.uk/upgrad...cles-c-36.html).

    As for availability of a vehicle, I was pretty sure I saw a silver or grey 90 at Lennock Motors in Canberra when I dropped mine in for a service last week. It could have been a 110 but I don't think so. It was just out of the corner of my eye, so to speak. Give them a call, ask for Justin Cornock.

    Cheers

    If you are dealing with the guys at Austral Landrover give up they cant be bothered helping or going the extra mile. Well the didnt for me.

    As I have said before you need to get to a dealer that is prepeared to look, maybe there is not Defenders left but it would be helpful if they looked past there front door.

    Thanks for the responses, and yes they may have all sold, but when you sign a contract after many discussions, you would think they would have that sorted....especially when a boat load is arriving next week?
    My suspisions are that dealers are allocating bogus orders so they have vehicals to sell?

    Cheers

    You could be right, when I first made an enquiry to Austral L/R they said they had 1 Defender in stock and it was $58k. I mentioned the sale price of $49990 and was told I was wrong the special was only for the D90.

    After I insisted that I was correct he told me he would check and call me back.


    10mins later he rings and says you are right they are $49k, so I said great I am on my way should be there in 30mins, " oh we dont have any Defenders available he says", but you just told me you had one I said. Oh sorry we just sold it he tells me.

    Again this is why I say talk to a dealer that wants to help not just get his commision

    Just Picked her! YEEEEEEEEEEEEOWWW! What a beast

    SHe is so tough. I'm in love. On her maiden voyage I saw a 300tdi and another Puma. Gotta a wave, thank youp.

    One thing I noticed that I didn't in the test drive. With the higher center of gravity and higher clearance, there is a fair bit of movement on the road. Little bit boucy being a short wheel base, nothing bad, it just took a bit to get used to. I wonder what a different set of tyres would do. What's everyone opinion of the Conti's on the road? They seem to have good aggressive tread for an AT for offroad. Another thing is that there is no steering wheel tilt! DANG.

    All in all, I have a grin ear to ear. I think i'll sleep in her tonight
