So, I'm very doubtful, but if it's true that you have an upgraded engine, I'll be very happy for you.

YUP!

There has been that other thread running about this... seems like some paperwork just got loose??

Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing your photos

I love the exhaust note I know that I'm going to love driving this Land Rover . I couldn't help feeling a bit nostalgic when driving my new car home . It brought me back to the first Land Rover that I brought . Way back in the early 70s . It was a 1969 , 109 2a hard top . It was Marine Blue and White , with a 2.5 BMC Diesel engine . I had to drive It from Chesterfield in Derbyshire , to Bedfordshire over 100miles . I can remember that wonderful feeling . So today all these years later , I had that same feeling . Jim

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there has been an error and many new Defender (mine too) sold in Aus has had a addendum page added to the manual which was wrong. It should just been added for the special edition yours like mine is 90kw not 110kw.
Still mine goes great too so not worried it is just numbers
Congrats on your new truck I love mine to bits too I never had so much fun driving!!

I contacted the sales guy and he chased up the 110kw paper addendum page with Land Rover UK, they said the page was put in many book by accident when it was supposed to just be in the special edition.
I am happy with my power anyway.

Nope a 110, bought it in Coffs Harbour. Local dealers couldn't get me what I wanted for a "price". Tried several dealers in Melb. Almost bought that red one they had in the yard last month at MLR. The heated seats were a turn on!
