just been in showroom in stirling they have the new def in showroom. 90 t/cab kesick green , a couple of the sales guys (rob & gordon) were on about what a diffrent drive it was, then one of them went out the back and brought round a 90 hard top in tonga and gave me a quick run in it. But the dilema is how do i get to buy it with out the wife noticing. You cant hide the bulge  if i offend and i know you sorry if i dont TUFF

Thats easy skidmark, just tell the missus that you have bought it, for when the RRS or her Freelander have to go back to the dealers for warranty work  some of my Previous cars

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, guess where I will be going tomorrow then! Would be nice to appear at next weekend's full on offroad event in Argyll with a new 2007 Defender 90 on demo .........and I know one person who would be very very annoyed because he has just been told the 90 he ordered last year for January delivery isn't now arriving until May!! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Well I had the use of the 90HT for the whole afternoon......................................... I would flog my RRS for one of these new Defenders (well if I didn't do a few long motorway drags each year I would!) This new one is civilised like I've never known a Defender to be and engine power, well it's on another planet, and then you have the option of a chip too.. I added another 40 miles to those that Skidmark had already put onto the Tonga Green Base model. I would say that it would give White Van man a good run and would certainly frighten TD5 Disco owners eeven in it's standard tune. What is also impressive is the lack of drumming or booming from the rear of the HT, even though the demo had no headliner.
Downers......................... heaps and heaps of blanking plates on the dash to remind you that the County and XC versions have loads of toys and how waterproof will the electrics be because as far as I could see LR haven't moved the ECu from it's position that is under the passenger seat so it's still easily drowned when wading.
That aside it is a magnificent machine. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The new Defender's ECU is behind the engine, high up in the engine bay  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

So still likely to be drowned in deep wading then! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
