    I ordered a P400 HSE last month and exicited to get it on December 2020
    Isn't it the same engine?

    Yes it is built to order. Orders that were doene last August will arrive in Aussie shores on 5th of December 2020, unless there will be unexpected delays.

    So the Sport didn't have a DPF gauge,and switch, to initiate a DPF burn if needed?
    That is a good idea actually. I wish there was

    4 months is not bad, I put my deposit down Oct 19th, 🤞 I hope to pick it up next week, so not quite a year
    but near enough

    Many other manufacturers vehicles have had them ever since they were fitted with DPF's.

    Our work vans have them as well,although we have never had to use them.

    We bought a D240...

    Hi, well done on your purchase.
    Thoughts about the diesel option - if you're going to mostly use the car for short trips i would seriously reconsider the diesel as it really does require longer periods at freeway speeds (>95km/h) occasionally and if it doesn't get these, will basically self destruct as has been shown in the Disco Sport models and others. Our Kia Sportage diesel has the same problem/requirement so it's not unique to brand.
    We bought a D240-S (my ninth Land Rover!!!) in August and currently have about 8000km on 'Tazzie' (-it's Tasman Blue) from a trip around - ironically - Tassie in November. The car performed exceptionally well, was extremely comfortable, handled all those Tasmanian corners with ease and comfort and plenty of power. Select 'SPORT' and off you go! Size of the car was perfect (immensely better than my 2011 '90, no surprise there), fitted all our camping gear, two mountain bikes, three adults etc and we haven't even got the roof rack yet.
    Our only complaint was that the electronics are too over bearing when camping - you sometimes like to leave the doors open and that 'bong bong bong' alert gets old really fast; we got several alerts from the system that our battery required top-up and to start the vehicle. I will be emailing Land Rover suggesting that they incorporate a 'camping mode' into the software to reduce battery usage. Also, when you plug in a bike carrier (for the tail lights), there is no option in the software to pick a bike rack and it thinks you're towing a trailer which limits the suspension in some situations.
    I bought a diesel because we do longer trips and we got around 1000 km out of each tank of fuel in the longer, straighter, highway sections of our holiday and also we don't live in Sydney or Melbourne so it gets that DPF nice and clean.
    Happy trails

    Thanks matt.

    How do you find take off with the D240?

    My D5 SD4 (with 70nm more torque but the same kWs as the D240) is a bit lazy at take off, waiting for the turbo to kick in.

    Cheers.

    Hi, there's a little bit of turbo lag, if you plant your foot i usually get a bit of a slap from the Mrs. I find it manageable.
    I'd prefer to have a manual non turbo vehicle, but honestly I can't fit anything into my old MX5 and putting fuel into an old V8 discovery isn't practical in any way these days ( i had one 15 years ago).
    We really love our new defender. We can live with the turbo lag. I'm not so young any more (53) and so I'd rather keep my license.
    If you're into bikes at all, I have an Africa twin which has heaps of power for me but I keep getting ribbed for not getting a KTM as they are pocket rockets.
    Did that answer the question? Hope it helps.
    Matt
