How else would it phone home.

Stuff that.

Or track everyone's locations.... It sounds like a 'good excuse' for a tighter nanny state or worse

Went to see a Dealer here in WA yesterday about the 2015 spec Defender and so forth. He said there was only build dates available for April or May this year, with delivery dates of July-Sept. From those dates, he said there was nothing on the system, and that it appeared suss.

So instead of waiting and risking missing out, I thought I would just place an order. I mean, all that I am missing out on that I care about is DSC, but even that is up in the air re: its worth. Just hoping now they dont throw any other goodies in...

So booked in a build date, for July delivery, cant wait. Need to contact the dealer within a week to confirm the build details and accessories...

Just had it confirmed that my soon to arrive MY14 90 doesn't have a DPF so I think we can assume that they still aren't being fitted to Aus market cars.

I've seen the '14 Defender brochure which shows the engine as complying with Euro 1V, which does not need DPF.
Pickles.

Well just paid a deposit for an August delivery, to fit into my time table. I was also told there were some slots in Jan-Mar 2015, but basically 90/110 wagons. But im offering no warranty on this, each should do their own research.

I got in now just in case. If it took 67 years to get this Defender right, imagine the fun with the all new one to get it right . And i don't believe those stories about a new Defender ASAP. However with the Troop carriers upcoming demise, for the same reasons, a bigger opportunity for a utilitarian vehicle now exists, for LR

cheers

Just to add to this, I went to the dealer last week as I know the final orders are soon and I'm pushing to get my lifetime dream car!

Final order calls are coming out in the next fortnight, with final orders for 110 ute, 110 double cab, and all 130's to be in before the end of June. 110 wagons will go for a while longer but I wasn't told the date, pretty sure this applies to 90's aswell.

I want a 110 double cab.

Cheers
