Thread: MY12 Defender - engine and colour questions.

Hey,
Here is my Galloway Green MY11 D9, i wasn't sold on the colour from any photo's as they don't do the colour justice, in the flesh it's a classic and i really like it.
as for the puma engine i've only clocked 7k but have had no problems (even after trying to drown it). One thing i think that needs attention is the intake ducting from the front quarter to the air box which is defiantly not water tight and i would suggest sealing it even if your not planning on installing a snorkel (also check if its done properly if you have one installed) because there are plenty of joints and a few drains that would possibly allow water into the air box if enough was being thrown around the engine bay. either way though i've been having stacks of fun and i still cant believe how capable they are out of the box. Cheers, Lucas.

Thanks Def 9, I was tending towards the galloway green but I hadn't seen any defenders in that colour. Looks a lot better on the car than it did on the colour card. Do you have any other close ups?

Yep,

Have you spoken to your dealer regarding this?
While they're not available as a 2012 MY, I have heard there's a few 2011 MY left (with the 2.4 engine).
