    All new defender

    One media outfit reporting on a story by another media outlet. That is a bit funny, although pretty common.

    However, given JLR seem to be at an advanced stage of prototype testing, it would make sense for JLR to reveal the new Defender to maximise the free marketing opportunities as part of the 2018 70th anniversary events.

    Some Defender traditionalists fears and scepticism may be about to be confirmed. All new defender

    Spoke to Ben from APT about how his D5 accessories & protection products going.... He informed me that what he has developed is strong but what it bolts to is the problem with him basically damaging what the gear bolts to (ie the floor pan of the D5 or what u call it). If the new Defender has the same sort of Floorpan, then there might be a while before any H/D protection equipment is listed on the market....

    It will have a subframe of some kind like all monocoque body shell's, access thru the body work may be the issue.

    Well i am not the least bit interested in any of the electric variations and if they don’t find a way to fit the proposed 3.0L Ingenium diesel in it I won’t even bother with a test drive.

    The output specs on the 2.0L might be impressive but not for me.
    So no 3.0L and I will be in the market for a 76 series cruiser.

    My Td5 is overdue for an upgrade but I’m not going backward with a towing vehicle...

    I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

    Yeah and that is the issue apparently.... bolting protection items to the monocoque under body causing the monocoque to bend...

    Hows Lucky 8 going in this regard, they usually get most things sorted pretty quick on the new models
