    Hopefully build cycles will settle down a bit and your 18 months will be absolute worst case. But who knows. Certainly the dealers are pretty much in the dark from what I have observed.

    Hello all, If anyone's interested I've just been advised that my D300 should be in my hands 7/4/23. I placed my orderDec 21.

    As my disco 4 has blown the motor for the second time this year and still awaits rectification I went out and bought a Nissan Y62 Series 5 2020 TI/L from a mate who had sold his van. Only 11k on the dial.
    I'm really much more impressed with it than I expected. Really comfortable, loads and loads of power and a huge boot area, awesome size in fact. There's a lot more tec in them than I thought. But somehow the whole unit looks and feels quite dated.
    I think these things are well tested and seem pretty bullet proof. I reckon you could take em anywhere happily [except to the fuel bowser] without thinking I need some plug in thingy to clear fault codes. I bet I get a roasting for that comment!

    The thing is the Nissan just doesn't excite me like the new defr does. So I should think I'll have a low klm Nissan to move on shortly after the new car arrives. Or then again maybe a cool looking Defender - We'll see.
    Cheers

    "As my disco 4 has blown the motor for the second time this year". This sort of horror story is what has sent me around the car yards recently. I thought I may look at a Prado as we had one years ago with no problems (120 series) or the Everest Sport.
    Prado has yet more power squeezed out of the engine and feels dated inside, plus has still got that huge awful barn door at the back which won't open fully with the van hooked up. Everest has a V6 Lion motor which puts out good power way above the Prado, but could it suffer the same probs as the D4s V6 motor does?
    Prado has way more useable room in the back than the Everest, and better holders for the wife's junk in the doors, but I'm hesitant about ordering as I get the feeling a new model is on the way, although no doubt I can switch my order (pay more?) if that happens. Neither of those vehicles matches the D4 for ride comfort.
    Indie reckons keep the Disco as it's in top condition, grossly over serviced and rides beautifully and looks good .... but I just have that thought at the back of my mind "what if" and all those horror stories come true?
    Lastly, both vehicles have very long wait times which is really a put off for me never having been someone with a lot of patience.
    I'm a "When do we want it? We want it NOW" type.

    PS. I'm off to the stealers today to check out a new Defender ... I'm a real sucker for punishment.
