If the swear filter didn't pick it up, help the owners and remove it yourself, better yet articulate without swearing in the first place.

Agree 100% but no I have never mastered the english language & am no wordsmith, Sure there are better ways to articulate but my brain does not work that way, 'Dickheads" fits so I'll use it

2. Saying the defender doesn't have its heritage in series landrovers is beyond belief, its about the only car in history that hasn't changed its shape much in 70 years . I know you love your series and i respect that but, really?

Defender name started in 1989/ 1990 it has zero history beyond that . "LandRover" has heritage
Next they will be calling a "Tickfiord 80 inch" a Velar

3. As for no vested interest, are you on record that you will never buy a new genuine part again?

yes . on the record. I hereby declare, so help me god, I will NEVER knowingly buy a NEW GENUINE LandRover part , ever again.

Ill let you take that one up with the mods

Cmon mate, forget the name, we all know the current defenders history and heritage is the series as much as Icecream goes in a cone.


Good luck with the genuine part thing, I'd last a month driving a classic

Yes

Land Rover Defender reborn thanks to Land Serwis | Auto Express

Here is also yet another option for those that feel the current defenders and older Series landrovers going back to the 40's are going to be sucked into a black hole when the new one arrives.

All defenders will live on and continue to be rebuilt, over and over again.

Not a problem, I can't actually remember the last time I bought a genuine part, I usually buy aftermarket or OEM which is the same as genuine without the LandRover box & pricetag.

I do remember the last time I bought a Genuine Landrover part over the counter from a Dealer, It was 1985 & I bought a pair of Ninety gal rear body corner cappings from ULR in Malvern .
