I don't mind the look of it. I'd be surprised if the aftermarket doesn't do a "defender bonnet" pretty soon. I think they will be hard to spot on the in traffic when someone does that.Quote:

They also have failed air con, faulty brakes, numerous electrical faults that show up warnings but no limp mode, components with surface rust, safari window leaks, transfer case out of spec issues that need to be replaced and probably a few more.
They have released a software update that seems to have fixed a lot of the electrical issues but plenty of people still complain about navigation and phone connection plus the display screens do some very strange things like randomly change settings and dropping out altogether.
Most early owners are very happy with the design, overall build quality and car basics like steering, suspension, engine and running gear and say its what the Defender should have been
Personally I am waiting for the second generation to be released and seeing how they go as a replacement of the D4
The 18month old work Ranger does exactly this,seems they are struggling to sort it,after numerous attempts.Looking at social media,the latest model is no better.But they have fixed the oil leaks,so far all good.[bighmmm]Quote:

LR are still struggling with Quality Control after 70 or so years.
No they're not. They gave up on QC with the Series II.Quote:
