All discussions relating to the Defenders end of production

What Adr requires airbags to pass the crash tests?

I can't find the requirement for airbags anywhere. ..

Then again, selective blindness runs in my family!

FeatherWeightDriver ADR 69 deals with full frontal impact occupant protection, I think its within that without looking.

Or...maybe not buy one at all? Whats the difference in the 2014 models anyways, if anything?

I placed my order on November 9 for a 5-seat, 110 wagon in keswick green. Last I heard, delivery should be late March or early April. Apparently they had to build the thing, and that didn't start until January!

I have no idea what differences (if any) between 2013 and 2014 models.

Cheers

Yep - that's the one I am looking at, but it does not state anywhere that I can see that an airbag is required to meet the ADR...

I got told I had 6 months to order a new defender...when my 2012 130 is due for replacement I m pretty sure I will be heading towards an F350 or similar..will miss the defers, unless the new model is an absolute cracker...not like the retro FJ

This gives me an idea with my defender

Personally, I don't think there's much truth in this rumour.
However, if some-one in Aus is going to order a Defender next year, then obviously ya'd have to order it well before the date of 20/12/15, which is the date JLR say the last one will roll off the production line.
Ours took nearly 6 months to get to us after ordering, and who knows what the demand will be next year,...I reckon it'll be big, I reckon JLR will be FLAT OUT keeping up with demand for the "Last Defender", so the delay could be longer. With that in mind, I reckon ya'd best get in "early"?
Cheers, Pickles.

all I know is this place will be over-run by Keswick Green Defenders!:D

No way, can't go along with that,....I thought we were relatively rare!
Cheers, Pickles.

I've been told the one I am in the process of ordering will be here by June but I'm not holding my breath!
