Thread: Defender 110 ordered - Feeling excited!

Apparently the Continentals I ordered are no longer being offered with the black pack, so I don't have any choice but to get the MT/Rs. The car I test drove had the MT/Rs fitted and road noise seemed ok, but the Contis appear to be more popular for on-road manners. Not a big issue, really.

The other change was that my car will be an MY16, rather than MY15, which I'm happy about. I guess it really will be one of the last. Bitter sweet

I told myself I wouldn't buy any accessories yet, but that only lasted 2 days. I've already jumped in a group buy for some Nolden LED projector headlights. That's it though. Nothing else...

Ditto - I planned nothing except for the side window guards to stop the dogs hanging their heads out the window.

I've already (also) jumped in a group buy for some Nolden LED projector headlights. That's it though. Nothing else...

Pretty sure it did.

Hmmm, interesting about the Contis vs Goodyears, I have "Black Pack with Alloy Wheel - Conti" written on my contract due for December build.
Any idea what the MY16 vs MY15 is about? I though from about this time of year all of them would be MY16 anyway? The LE models are listed as MY16 I noticed.
Cheers, Matt

I had the same written on my contract too, but for whatever reason I've been told the Goodyears are the only option. It really doesn't bother me too much, so I'm not going to kick and scream.

As for the MY16 business, I think the confusion stemmed from the fact that there was never meant to be an MY16 Defender. 2015 was supposed to be the end of production. I think it was just a dealership misunderstanding, I'm sure nothing is different between the two.

If its the one I know he's not on here but I have sent him links to the forum. It's a nice looking rig and only a few months old.

It's funny how they are restricting tyres for certain builds. I've ordered a 90 with a Nov build date. Mine is a black pack, but being a 90 they don't allow Goodyears. Does anyone know the actual reason for this? Kind of strange that they have these weird rules about which models/option packs get which tyres.
