I've ordered a 90 Adventure and must admit am not 100% convinced that it will come with an uprated engine, I know the Autobiography does but have not seen any JLR info confirming that the 90 Adventure will as well!
Could be wrong, most of the time I am!
ATAIK, it's only an ECU enhancement to get the 150HP, & I think I've read that there is an uprated clutch fitted too.
And you're right about the 170HP,..plenty of tuners can provide that, & more.
Still, 150HP from the factory, would be nice.

***only*** the Autobiography (none to AU) is getting a higher output engine.
No ifs, buts or maybes!
If you want more - B.A.S...
Same engine. Just a different ECU map. Same intercooler afaik too.Quote:

That level of power increase is 'nothing' really. There is SO much more available from the engine whilst still being totally reliable! :)
No 150HP?....Never knew that,......because of our higher ambient temperatures?Quote:

So my local Land Rover dealer wasn't telling fibs!
Here is a direct cut/paste from the limited edition release brochure published in the UK... maybe things for the Oz market are different??
"The exciting new Adventure Edition is aimed at Land Rover customers who relish the great outdoors and embrace the Defender's ?go anywhere, do anything? attitude. It comes fitted with additional underbody protection and Goodyear MT/R tyres to boost the Defender's already class-leading all-terrain capability along with an Expedition roof rack, snorkel and rear access ladder. Optional Phoenix Orange paint ensures the Adventure Edition stands out from the Defender crowd. 90 and 110 Station Wagon variants will be available, and all 90 SW variants will feature a power upgrade from 122ps to 150ps. Production will be limited to 600 in the UK.
The Autobiography Edition provides more comfort, equipment and luxury than ever before. Limited to only 80 vehicles in the UK, all in iconic 90 Station Wagon form, this will be the most collectable Defender of all. The hand finished Windsor leather interior, deep pile carpet mats, aluminium design details and a choice of unique Autobiography paint finishes make this the most desirable Defender ever produced. To complete the picture, every Autobiography Edition will also feature the power upgrade from 122ps to 150ps.
I don't think we'll be able to actually confirm the engine HP until one gets here!
Can anyone out there confirm they have scored a Heritage 110 and if so at what price? I have heard that only 15 of these will make it to Australia. I would be interested to know if any actually make it to the open market
Oldfart....I have a heritage 110 allocated to me now, it took a lot of whinging and I spat the dummy several times..hehehe...but LR aust allocated me one.
Defender 110 Heritage 5 door wagon is $59,900 + ORC taking it to $66,538.00 drive away...
there are on 15 of 17 heritage 110's coming to australia...
the other thing the heritage and adventurers should have..is the new dynamic stability control as well as electronic traction...
I read about it..DSC, but still dont understand what it is suppose to achieve in a defender...:)
