    Defender 110 advice for new member

    Hi everyone, I have been reading this forum for ages and have finally decided to join.

    I am currently driving a 2012 triton, and want to get into a defender 110 before its to late. So was hoping I could get some direction before pulling the trigger on placing an order before the end of the month.

    I am currently thinking a 110 defender in corris grey with the black pack, cold climate, side runners and a tow bar. I want to eventually add a bull bar for a winch, not sure yet, but like th Look of the Arb unit. Any other items I should add.

    I have wanted one for years, so it's about time

    Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.

    Also are they difficult to use as a daily driver around Sydney?

    Cheers

    If you want to order one I wouldn't be waiting until the end of the month. I'd be finding out how many build slots are still available or else you may miss out. Otherwise you may be having to select from available stock.

    I second that. Get your order in asap. You only need to decide on factory specs such as 7 seats, alloys, sunroof, colour schemes etc.

    Accessories such as side runners, tow bar, tinted windows, bull bar, winch etc can all be arranged with the dealer while you spend the next 6 months waiting - obviously total price comes into your decision making, but you should be able to pay a deposit which allows you to buy time to finalise your dealer fit accessories.

    You'd be surprised by how many accessories are fitted at the dealer after delivery.

    Good luck!

    My 110 is 2000km old and it was my first 4wd and first brand new car. I love it. Absolutely love it.

    I use it in Sydney peak hour traffic x2 week and of course it's not as easy as an automatic, but owning this truck is not about ease of driving - its a way of life

    Hi, mine has turned up in the holding yard in Perth or Freo. Should be with me in a week. I went Corris grey, black pack with black leather pack and heated seats etc, side runners. I've bought a NAS step seperate and a shadow winch bar from firstfour UK and cargo barrier, bash plate, wolf headlight covers etc. I'll take photos for when I get it and as I add bits. I'll get some chequer plate wing cover from first four as LAnd ROver want $1800 or something ridiculous for them.

    Be quick, I think it was either 23 or 26th of this month for final orders.

    Get in quick. Go for the ARB roo bar. I got the A frame bar but regret it. Looks good but pretty flimsy.

    BEST ADVICE:....ORDER NOW,...before it's too late.
    Official UK date for "FINAL ORDERS" is 26th JUNE!!!!...so, ya've got 8 days to order, "YOUR OWN"!!
    After this, you'll certainly be able to buy one from Dealer stock for a while, but it won't be your own "personal" order.
    So, do it today, if ya haven't already done it.

    so the order is locked in - supposed build start in November for a January delivery - i feel like a kid in a candy store.

    I went to one dealer on Saturday - what a bunch of Pr^%ks, then i contacted another on Monday and by Tuesday morning the deal was done for $9000 cheaper then the dealer on Saturday, anyway thats all past and now the little baby is on the way.

    Went with the premium leather, black pack and few other goodies.

    Where is the best place to get the following:

    Long range tank - or additional tank
    Under body protection
    Bullbar

    Thanks
