Thanks for the pics. Both very exciting & frustrating. In a couple of weeks when Vic movement restrictions free up, it will be even more exciting I’m sure.

Does the Australian diesel have the adblue requirement ?? One of the defender2 forum members in
South Africa just put up a video of one of their Land Rover club members in his new Defender, and
stated in SA they are not spec'd with Adblue.. which would make it far easier for touring in Africa
of course

[Hagrid]

Yes it has the adblue.

When’s your P400 arriving?

[zilch]

Yes it has the adblue.

When’s your P400 arriving?

It is on the Tonsberg which should be halfway across the Pacific, docks Auckland 9th Sept, Port Kembla is about the 17th Sept.
Based on the VISTA order it should have been at the dealers on the 18th Sept if docking was on the 12th. So assume it is a week delayed to get to the dealers, now the 24th. The dealer has to fit the wheel arch protection, side steps, RAI, ladder,
roof rack, classic mud flaps.. and the rear tow eyes i purchased from the UK.. another week maybe, i reckon i will get my hands on it on or around 1st October ish.. 12 months approx from when it was ordered [bigwhistle]

Still trying to get the dealers to procure Duratracs for me.. they may get a better rate than i was quoted by local tyre
centre $495 a corner

[Hagrid]

12 months approx from when it was ordered [bigwhistle]


You’re a patient man. Sounds like
It will be a great rig.

should be pretty capable and ready for my lap of 🇦🇺

Sounds like a petrol first edition. What made you go the P400SE over the D240FE?

I imagine it would have been similar in cost but maybe a little bit more with a bigger engine and a little less kit.

I put 7 seats pack, hitch & servicing pack on mine and that’s it. Planning to add front runner roof rack and a RTT.

I decided I did not need the pano roof, for 12-18 months It will be doing a lap of 🇦🇺 with a fully laden roof rack,
I very rarely use the sunroof on my RRS, so that pushed me to the SE rather than HSE/FE and the Aussie spec
on the SE is quite generous. I gave up on waiting on release details from FR on their rack and went the
expensive LR route.. against my better judgement no doubt, but after 6 months and no info I got impatient.

My last two vehicles have been TDv6 RRS’s, time to change to Petrol, it’s my last major vehicle
purchase and thought 400 🐎 would be a great way to release the stress 😉

I will pm you my spec tomorrow ..

cheers

Fair call. I have to say I love the pano roof, but it is expensive. It is easy to forget to open the sunroof, so I love that the blind auto opens when you start the car reminding you to use the thing. It’s nice the extra light it lets in. But I can certainly appreciate the bigger engines lure. The power for me was a step up so I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I can only imagine the joy of driving the 400.

Does the tow pack include an electric brake controller? Do you know if there are provisions for where it may (neatly) be installed?

Sorry to post this in what seems should be a "photo only" sticky.

Thanks

from the Facebook group "all new defender owners group" apparently the vehicle is prewired for a brake controller
to be added by the owner i have been informed and it is a relatively simple job. Some people seem to mount the
switch by the EPB switch..

had the P400 since last Thursday, still waiting on the majority of the accessories, only wheel arch protection was in stock
when i took delivery..

[grey_ghost]

It’s interesting - I have read a lot of comments from new owners (world wide) that say “picked up my Defender, have to go back later for the accessories to be fitted”.

I have no doubt that Covid19 has contributed to this.

It’s just interesting.

Nice rig. [emoji1303]

[zilch]

Gave the 110 a run today, Sydney northern beaches to Silos Wine estate in Berry,
it performed perfectly, no rattles or squeaks, well apart from the case of wine we
purchased 😉

[zilch]

well they only managed to fit the side steps after having the vehicle all day, it looks like the rest of the accessories will have to wait for another day..

Our first big trip in Tazzie, was coincidentally to Tasmania. Already done a few K's and getting some nice accessories fitted like the expedition roof rack, mud flaps, snorkel etc.
This first photo taken in northern Tasmania (Narawntapu Nationa Park). Its a D240S. We routinely get over a thousand Ks per tank if driven 'nicely'! Second photo on top of Mt Wellington in the fog. Bike rack worked well over the holiday too btw.

Nice colour!
If you go down to Port Arthur on the Tasman Peninsula look out for a white one.
It lives somewhere near my holiday shack at White Beach Nubeena, as I've seen it a few times in the area over the past coupla months.

Excellent! We are planning to get down there again in March/April, as long as the borders allow - we have to travel thru Victoria [bigsad]. Love Tassie in the autumn, actually love it all the time. We're hoping to do a few walks like Walls of Jerusalem, maybe the three capes, depends how young we feel! We love our new defender, soooo nice to drive.

Hi Zilch,

I'm still a few months away from taking delivery of my Defender SE D300. I was walking around the local stealers yard and noticed that one of the new Defenders they had in stock had an access hole in the front sump guard to access the front recovery hook and all the rest had just a flimsy plastic panel which you need to remove every time you need to use the front recovery hook. After investigation it appears this plastic access panel actually requires the option of the front sump guard for access to the hook.

Can I ask did your Defender come with the front sump guard with access hole ? I tried to see what option or package it comes in on the online Land Rover build your Defender but it didnt show any thing. I asked the salesman I bought my Defender from, and not only did he think the front recovery hook was an option ( which it isn't - its there on every new Defender ) but he had no idea the front sump guard was an option.

Anyway I will keep pushing the selling dealer re the front sump guard and whether its a factory option or a dealer option.

Hi Zilch,

Can I ask did your Defender come with the front sump guard with access hole ?

afraid not, i have the horrible black plastic cover, which is easily remove by the way if you go off road. The options are to buy the expensive LR one, or possibly
look at fleabay / aliexpress.. not sure if the aliexpress one is a direct swap for the plastic or a full strip down and fit as per the LR one

I just find it hard to believe that Land Rover have claimed to produce one of their most capable 4WD, and you have to get on your knees and use a screw driver and remove a flimsy black plastic panel before you get bogged/stuck to use the front recovery hook [bighmmm] .

I asked the LR salesman again today and he just scratched his head and didn't even know there was a recovery hook behind the black plastic cover.

Also found this aluminum cover on Amazon which I may try for $400 bucks.

My L322 is the same although the manual suggests removing the cover before going off-road.

[rar110]

LR don't expect it to get bogged! My L322 is the same although the manual suggests removing the cover before going off-road.

Yes removing the recovery hook cover on the L322 is pretty easy and doesn’t require a tool to remove.

I’ve never felt the need to buy a metal hook cover as my plastic one is still ok after 13 years despite being removed a few times. Also the current plastic cover matches the bumper skirt colour (black).

[Garfield]

Apart from access to the front recovery hook, also just wondering how strong the plastic undershield would be - deflecting stones and thrown up branches.

The Amazon undershield I mentioned in the previous post, you can get that in either aluminum or black. Not sure how well the black shield colour would match the rest of the underskirt.

Attached a couple of pictures of the front of the Defender D240 S in the local LR yard - with the factory undershield. The dealer still cant find the option and told me the D240 in the pic was a LR Australia test vehicle.169031169032

Sounds like a bunch of BS. I have the undershield and also the winch/bullbar setup in the game room at the moment awaiting the actual vehicle. I've ordered all the accessories at cost and will fit them myself as it's pretty straightforward for most things. The Bullbar and Winch require a bit more work but I'll be saving around 10k total in labor charges for everything.

The undershield part number is VPLEP0436. It's very nice quality and made of aluminium and a steel bracket. Retails appx 950.

There is a good fitting video by powerful UK that shows how to put the undershield on. It's easy. Land Rover Defender Front Undershield Fitting Instructions / review VPLEP0436 - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQsFNiJ6Qks&ab_channel=powerfulukltd)
JLR also helpfully have a site with instructions for all accessories. LAND ROVER ACCESSORY FITTING INSTRUCTIONS (http://accessories-instructions.landrover.com/enUSA/new-defender)

I'll upload a photo of the undershield soon. In the meantime here is the bullbar. 60mm tube construction. A bargain for 1242 retail.

There are these pics with a winch online. Hardcore Land Rover Defender Comes To Life | CarBuzz (https://carbuzz.com/news/hardcore-land-rover-defender-comes-to-life)

I haven't put mine on yet as I haven't got the car. You've got a few options when it comes to the winch . The basics are all similar. You can either do a bullbar setup, or an A-frame setup. I'll attach a few pics from the parts system to show you the difference.

Ignore the coil springs in the parts diagram as it's not applicable if you have air suspension.

New Defender mods have a very well set up 110 .. Login • Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/newdefendermods/?hl=en)

Quite a few in the US are fitting KO2's, if you are on facebook the "All New Defender Owners Group" has a diverse range of people on
with various levels of mods done. especially in the US

[dontwakemeup]

The only mods anyone has ever done with regards to the winch is using the landrover winch cradle. Some of those posts have imported the bullbar but used another brand or different winch setup.

The majority of those mods are all oem parts and products.

Lucky 8 LLC make some good rock sliders and a rear ladder. The oem ladder isn't compatible with the front runner full sized rack.

I wouldn't get side steps as they decrease your clearance.

Some very important things to remember:
1) the 12v bus bar under the bonnet runs to the battery and needs an appropriate current regulation.
2) the oem winch pack from JLR includes and over current protection CT which is not included in the retail winch setup. If you aren't careful you can blow out your wiring system.

If you have any questions please ask, as I have researched this to the ends of the earth.

[Garfield]

Agree with you dontwakemeup and zilch.

LR salesman just lazy and not too interested - especially as vehicle is still some 2 to 3 months from delivery ( thou they have confirmed vehicle has been built ) . He may have not received his commission yet. on the plus he does make good lattes

I went to spare parts and they easily found both undershield and bullbar kit. So will order these now in case there is delay and they need to come from UK. Like many things it life, it just depends who your talk too.......

the Gent concerned, Steve Firth did a trip to the arctic circle which is well documented on youtube and the FB owners groups. He cannot be certain, but
a good chance a rock thrown up on some of the unsealed roads by a truck in the canadian wilderness areas. What was interesting he mentioned his
rack was well stacked with fuel, boxes etc, so baffled on how a rock could have thread its way through.. one of life's mysteries [bigwhistle]

if it was in Santorini black, that could be Michael Collins.. he lives in Darwin and always goes out fossicking for gold [bigwhistle] His new 110 sees plenty of off road time,
and to be honest, most people on the FB new defender groups seem to be more "off road" inclined than the "Kahn/chelsea tractor" types on other forums

[shamirj]

Have started to see Defender 90's driving around the streets, did not think they were ready for sale yet but assume they are. One was in the Blue Mountains and another in Sydney. Must say prefer the 90 over the 110 if you are a couple only, just like the look of them, add some 35inch tyres and wow, what a weapon. sorry no pics.

[zilch]

, add some 35inch tyres and wow, what a weapon. sorry no pics.

An interesting and expensive mod, i know the @newdefendermods sub frame lift is not cheap
by any means .. alternative is to go for the lift rods, but not sure how big a tyre you can get to..

Pretty happy with my standard 32" tyres on my 110 .. not to every ones taste i know [bigwhistle]

Went to the local LR dealership in Artarmon but seemed like it was closed which was unusual for the weekend - anyway wanted to check out the new defender 90 and the Disco5. All doors locked which was a shame so unable to look inside properly or have a seat. But captured this nice looking 110 which was wrapped in graphics. Wish they would do something with the D90, looked a bit boring next to the wrapped 110. enjoy.

We did something similar a few weeks back and my brother didn't like the signature panel, and suggested getting it painted or wrapped in black, so that way it'd blend in with the windows, which I thought was a good idea for anyone else that feels the same.

Hi Guys,

With the arrival of the Taipan into Melb dock a week ago and the dispatch of a heap of new Defenders going to Melbourne LR dealers in next couple of days, hopefully we will see a new batch hit the the Melbourne tarmac [smilebigeye]

[JessicaTam]

I finally got my paws on my new car...

172937

And with the $1,000 off accessories offer at the moment I also got a boot-load of goodies to bolt on over the next few weekends. Rear towing eyes, front undershield and compressor. I also have a windscreen mount antenna on order which will combine with a GME UHF CB. A trailer brake controller will finish things off for now.

I will hold off getting a roof rack or winch/bar in case there are some better aftermarket options out soon.

I was worried about the white dash being too much, but it’s great. With the while accents on the door - it just flows. The salesman said “you nailed it with the white dash - the grey dash looks **** because of the white accents on the door”. (Naturally he would say that - but I agree).

I went coil’s - and couldn’t be happier. I am very happy with the ride. [emoji1303][emoji3]

[Piddler]

Thanks, looks awesome.
Think I would have to change the wheels.

Is there any ride quality or height difference to air with the coils?

When you compare the specs, air has slightly higher ground clearance in off road mode. But bugger all differences.

I have driven air and coil and I couldn’t really tell the difference. Air would be a plusher ride but I couldn’t tell…

[chuck]

If you see someone looking at it closely down our local shops that will probably be me.

Be good to see the 90 in the flesh.

Congratulations

Henceforth she'll be called "the SMEG" due to her rounded features.

Picked mine up today!

Nice car, shame about your choice of name...

I have the same wheels on my ordered MY23.5, nice to see them in the flesh.

I only chose it for the chuckle and as a dog whistle to Red Dwarf fans!

The wheels whilst good looking will be replaced with 18inch TuffAnt Kimberly wheels soon.

With the digital dash I'm surprised you didn't go with Silicon Heaven.

At least the Pivipro system doesn't say 'Does anyone want any toast"...yet, maybe in the next system update?

Some form of virtual Crichton perhaps? Either that or you het an "H" stuck to your forehead.

S M E G now with TuffAnt 18" wheels, rear brake caliper change (to fit the wheels), and Maxxis AT tyres.

The more observant among you will have also noticed the rear bumper cover and additional reversing LED lights (both from Powerfuluk).

Flew up to Ballina to pick this beauty up yesterday and drove it back down to Northern Beaches, SYD - just fantastic on the road and all around. Blown away by these new ones. Never owned an OG but been in/around some, drove a few, this is light years beyond. We are impressed.

Fabricated a switch panel from steel plate 0.75mm and covered with "carbon fibre" vinyl. Still waiting for 4 x rocker switches for light bars, front and rear and 7pin rocker for the Rhino winch (when I can afford it!)
The socket on the top right is a pass-through USB-C and USB-A female connectors so that Apple CarPlay can work seamlessly. Fast chargers to the side and a voltmeter below. 12V cigarette socket on the left and RJ45 passthrough for the UHF
More pics once complete!
Mounting brackets for the iPad running ExplorOz for offline maps and the Garmin InReach Explorer+ from HoldMyPhone. I'll probably get the console mount for the UHF later.
Installed the PowerfulUK LED for the reversing lights - they make sooo much difference. I couldn't see anything before.

You kept that quite! So I now have a Defender buddy in town. Excellent. Nice vehicle.

[jwb]

D300 in Vic High Country.
Accessories so far UHF and TJM compressor in engine bay, 200
Ah auxiliary battery in cargo space to run induction cooktop and travel oven plus fridge.
LR 'off road' tyres will be replaced before upcoming Simpson Desert trip and will add Tuffant sliders.
Still pondering front protection need.

[BushCapital]

Excited to be back behind a Land Rover after an Isuzu diversion.

Previously a D4, and before that a Defender 110 single cab.

Now, a MY20 Defender 110 SE D240…with Frontrunner rack, Rhino bar, Runva winch, Tuffant rock sliders and OEM RAI. UHF to be fitted.

Towing a Conqueror UEV440 and looking forward to the first outing soon - kids yet to name vehicle!

[BushCapital]

The Tuffant sliders have been a bit of a revelation. Solid construction without protruding too much. No barked shins so far! Highly recommended 👍🏽

I've just ordered a pair as a reward for just selling my old Defender. Tuffant folk were very helpful sending me some shots of how they look with the doors open.

Did you install them yourself?

[jwb]

The Tuffant sliders are great and make a good step as well.
Installation is straight forward but recommend having a hoist to remove all the fibre panels and a second person to assist.
The passenger rear inner bolts have a bit ambiguous instructions - M6 vs M10 but it becomes clear on re-reading and looking at the area.

[BushCapital]

Update - have been highly impressed following a couple of off-road outings. Will need to replace my existing iSi tow bar mount with an extended version to project the second bike bracket beyond the spare wheel, but that’s not unreasonable!
