Good to see that they (or at least some) have arrived at last. Scallops will be beside himself!

It felt great for the 100m that I drove it :D.

The dash will take a bit of getting used to, I think I preferred the old one.

Hi Scallops. You will be one excited boy hey?

Make sure you check underneath for the proper application of the underbody spray. There have been a few units reported in the UK where large portions of the underbody were missed. Dealers fix it for free of course but if you don't notice it they won't fix it.

Can't wait to take one of these new ones for a spin :cool:

I'm going on a 2 day '07 defender training' course in Sydney in a couple weeks, so will be learning all about them :eek:

Hey Scouse, lucky you. I'm still trying (hoping) I can get a test drive at the end of this month somewhere in this country.

Is the underside of the bonnet really just painted white or is that white sound proofing material:confused: Boy will that get dirty up this way!

Am I imagining it or do I see bits of a D3 dash in there? ie the instrument display.

Scouse -- how much for one of those bonnets?????Bring your Defender round & we'll do a swap when no-one's looking.
I'm sure if we slammed it closed hard enough, the engine would make it's own hump in your bonnet :).

I will be doing fiberglass coppies when my sample bonnet arrives in a month or so. Don't know a final on prices yet though, but i'm expecting around $600 ready to paint.

What motor do we have in this one guys? We only have Bastardello's in Perth and I vowed never to darken their door again after the dastardly deeds done to me with my Defender. I can't sticky beak without an Osama Bin Laden beard or something.
