The activity key, according to the Aus spec guide is a $910 option across all variants , as long as you have keyless entry, which all variants do. What excuse did the guy give for not being able to configure it? You won't be able to get that added later.
There are bulletins that come from LR Aus to the dealers with what can be ordered etc. There are many options on the new Defender that are not available. You can order them - not a problem - but if they are not in stock then your order is delayed.
Got in touch with a guy in the LR parts area and he stated that if you can get a part number off an LR catalog then you should be able to check price & availability with any parts mob in the LR network.
What is the warranty period on the new Defender?
Just checked the LR site and it says three years. That to my mind is something they need to look at. Nearly everyone else is five years. I heard ads for FORD and KIA stating their cars have a seven year warranty. How easy it is to get them to enforce it is another matter.
In the UK it states three years unlimited mileage. On the Irish site it states three years or 100,000kms. with no option of the extended warranty package. How are you Antipodeans fairing out warranty wise?
So I take it that all vehicles manufactured will be to some customers orders.
Will there be demos and showroom specials and what spec will they be?
I received an email saying 3 demos were already here in Australia but no one will confirm where they are.
I think we are already being bull****ted to by Land Rover Australia.
is it true it's now going to be August or later before they will be seen here?
I can walk into any other brand dealership and get all info , delivery dates , availabilities, colours , specification, honest drive away prices.
Land Rover can't or won't do that. I'm really tiring of the whole thing.
I have given up on it as well.Quote:

More than likely i will eventually be off to another brand.
i spoke to my dealer today who were just finalising the updates on the orders. I was informed verbally my new dates are as follows
last amendment possible: 5th June
Build date: 4th July
Delivery Sydney: 25th Sept.
Assume i will see it in the first week of October.. only 4 months / 16 weeks to go [bigwhistle]
Not really news but more confirmation of Showroom cars here in August.

show room stock before ordered vehicles it seems, not unless anyone on here has a July delivery [bigwhistle]
The factory was shut down for 2 months because of the pandemic, so it's not surprising there has been some confusion about dates.
