Its strangely fun.....

wait for the door handles to fall off, the widows to lower them selves... oops you don't have back windows. It will leak, most likely require a ignition barrel, perhaps an immobiliser, egr valve or two, new clutch, and numerous other weird and wonderful things over the next few years. My first night of ownership I popped an inner coil back into it's seat with a tyre lever as Solihull didn't get it right, day two of owner ship it got flat bedded.

I know a new car should be perfect, but like Juddy says. Hand built aint such a great thing sometimes.

Depends on if it was built on a Friday or Tuesday.

Yeh I shouldn't bagg them too much as they are great cars and I do like mine. Sometimes I think however it was built on a Friday, finished on the Tuesday after a public holiday, and the lads were either hung over, or ****ed off about being back at work, or depressed about their dak long wet existance in an English factory in winter.

JamesB71, don't mind me, your truck looks pretty smart. I can see, and understand why you felt ripped. I hope, and really do, that your new baby only ever has a dinted nudge bar as a warranty claim.
There are people on here who mention their issues, also ones who don't but have, and ones who haven't had any either. Best of luck with the new Defer.
