Thread: LATEST FACTS ON DEFENDER SUPPLY

Rambling Boy

You have to test drive them for longer.

I had a test drive and it went like this
MLR to home about 30 min - did not like
Home to sons about 30 min - starting to like
Sons to MLR about 60 min - wanted to buy one.

Ended up buying a D4 but that is another storey.

I think you just answered you own question...

It was a hot day on the coast yesterday....caught a lot of people by surprise.

The a/c worked well, it was really the vinyl seats.....I have thick lambswool.

I managed to drive it fairly smoothly double clutching, but I didn't think I would need to do that.....that I can easily get used to.

If I put the lambswools on the fender seats it might work.

The radio/stereo is hopeless.

I had an idea, dont know if I've bounced it around.....sound bars for a home entertainment unit , surely they would do it.

What I need to do is drive one to William Ck. Does anyone hire Defenders?

This mob does, but they are based in Sydney and Cairns only:

Hello, we've recently bought a new 90.
I think you'll find the seats aren't vinyl, they're cloth. We had the vehicle up in the Mallee recently in 42C heat,...the A/C was good,...no sweaty bums!
Don't know why you would need to be Double De clutching,..we don't.
Radio/stereo hopeless,...Is that the stereo unit that is hopeless, or is it the "noise" that is shutting it out?!! Can't do a lot about the noise, but there again, "for a Defender", I reckon it's acceptable,....I mean, can you believe it?...a subwoofer in a Defender?!
C'mon, just buy one, you will NOT regret it.
Cheers, Pickles.

130 seats always were vinyl in previous models, but I'm not sure re the newer ones.

Hi
my 130cc 2009 has cloth seats.

Don't know what the fuss about the radio is, my gps comes through on it clear as a bell. Haven't found any thing else as interesting to listen to on it though.

I'm wrapped with mine, it is much more a 4wd than I am.

cheers
