There are plenty of videos on the internet of D4s with two wheels in the air and still moving.

Neat snorkel.
Washers on the wipers is a good idea.
The camo must cover half the rear windows.
TC is pretty advanced now, even on my 2009 Defender, so I'd expect the system on the new Defender to be much better again.

Back to the future - see Optional Equipment catalogue for Series 2 and 2a P/N 4437 (1962, rev 1965)! Unfortunately my copy is about a fifth generation copy, and the picture is not very helpful!

I feel that there may have been a good reason for dropping this in favour of the more familiar system describes as post-July 1969 in p/n RTC9842CE Optional Equipment parts book. Possibly just commonality with other Leyland products?

Iveco Daily has washers on the wiper arms, its fantastic. Should be made mandatory on all vehicles,
That will be the best thing about this new vehicle.

In some of the video footage (tusk) - it almost looks like they have tried to re-produce the gal capping look on the hip line...

Hurry up Land Rover and just release the bloody thing!

I believe there is still one fake line from the rear to the front and around front slightly.

Can see in these two crops.

Could be wrong but the Invictus photo had three now there is one.

Another thing to notice in the video is the silence of the defender as it gets near the animals.

Lots of good info and nice pics.

I really like it.

Can’t see the tyre sizes yet Blackie?

I have tried,but you guys that are more computer literate may be able to see them in high res or something?


Remember it isn’t a snorkle,it’s a RAised air intake.

Oh,and someone pls take GB for a run in some rough stuff in their late model LR
