Thread: Build Date

Can't comment on the new ones, but my '03 Defender had this info on some green & orange stickers around door pillars etc. One was a "passed QC" sticker - you'd think that would get removed!

From memory mine was completed by the day shift, 30/6/03.

As Tusker said, there are some QC stickers - I found mine under the seats in the new Defender - mine was built on the 18th July 2007.

There is also a plate on the firewall that has year build - but not actual date.

Thanks for your response. On the 2008, it's not on the door. It's also not on the vin id plate under the bonnet.

Thanks

Mac

I think you'll find that the stickers on the seats only indicate when the seat was made - mine actually has Lear - Nottingham on it which is where they come from. In any case, with Land Rover's "just in time" manufacturing process, that should be within a month of final assembly I would have thought.

I can't find any overall assembly date on mine. I guess you just have to go by the VIN number and Land Rover keep all the specific details on their database.

I found a few others on various other areas of the vehicle (including chassis) - all 18th July 2007.
