I didn't think we got any diesel sixes yet ? Only 533 vehicles affected.

Dealers have had them since the end of March. I drove a D300 SE early April.

I think that was when the change over from the IL4 to IL6 diesels was happening.

I had a look in Carsguide last night.

there are plenty of new defenders for sale at dealerships...or they are advertised.

I dont think there is one listed at under $125,000 plus.
