Hi Pickles,
Just back from a couple weeks in the UK and chatting to some mates who work for JLR about the same topic.
Big secrets in terms of marketing timing etc, but Australia is unlikely to see anything interesting before the MY16 run out and that might be optimistic and the MY17 might be more realistic. The Disco 5 is meant to have a "toughened" up version for work and touring with a reduced price tag to take up the void.
The big concern is that with stability control and airbag laws coming into force soon in Australia, we might not even see the last of the Defenders as we know them. I'm sure someone would know the exact date, but there is a firm cut off beyond which no new vehicle without stability control may be sold (traction control don't count) in Australia and airbags are soon to follow. This is likely to be before the end of Defender...
Cheers,
Lou
