    Does the Australian diesel have the adblue requirement ?? One of the defender2 forum members in
    South Africa just put up a video of one of their Land Rover club members in his new Defender, and
    stated in SA they are not spec'd with Adblue.. which would make it far easier for touring in Africa
    of course

    It is on the Tonsberg which should be halfway across the Pacific, docks Auckland 9th Sept, Port Kembla is about the 17th Sept.
    Based on the VISTA order it should have been at the dealers on the 18th Sept if docking was on the 12th. So assume it is a week delayed to get to the dealers, now the 24th. The dealer has to fit the wheel arch protection, side steps, RAI, ladder,
    roof rack, classic mud flaps.. and the rear tow eyes i purchased from the UK.. another week maybe, i reckon i will get my hands on it on or around 1st October ish.. 12 months approx from when it was ordered

    Still trying to get the dealers to procure Duratracs for me.. they may get a better rate than i was quoted by local tyre
    centre $495 a corner

    very patient indeed

    I have optioned up the tow pack which gives me atpc, tr2, configurable Tr and also added the ediff with torques,
    should be pretty capable and ready for my lap of 🇦🇺

    Sounds like a petrol first edition. What made you go the P400SE over the D240FE?

    I imagine it would have been similar in cost but maybe a little bit more with a bigger engine and a little less kit.

    I put 7 seats pack, hitch & servicing pack on mine and that’s it. Planning to add front runner roof rack and a RTT.

    I decided I did not need the pano roof, for 12-18 months It will be doing a lap of 🇦🇺 with a fully laden roof rack,
    I very rarely use the sunroof on my RRS, so that pushed me to the SE rather than HSE/FE and the Aussie spec
    on the SE is quite generous. I gave up on waiting on release details from FR on their rack and went the
    expensive LR route.. against my better judgement no doubt, but after 6 months and no info I got impatient.

    My last two vehicles have been TDv6 RRS’s, time to change to Petrol, it’s my last major vehicle
    purchase and thought 400 🐎 would be a great way to release the stress 😉

    I will pm you my spec tomorrow ..

    cheers

    Fair call. I have to say I love the pano roof, but it is expensive. It is easy to forget to open the sunroof, so I love that the blind auto opens when you start the car reminding you to use the thing. It’s nice the extra light it lets in. But I can certainly appreciate the bigger engines lure. The power for me was a step up so I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I can only imagine the joy of driving the 400.

    Does the tow pack include an electric brake controller? Do you know if there are provisions for where it may (neatly) be installed?

    Sorry to post this in what seems should be a "photo only" sticky.

    Thanks

    from the Facebook group "all new defender owners group" apparently the vehicle is prewired for a brake controller
    to be added by the owner i have been informed and it is a relatively simple job. Some people seem to mount the
    switch by the EPB switch..
