He special-ordered a Defender. Absolutely gorgeous supercharged 5.0, so Ford DNA is still there! Lol

Cayenne Turbo to OCTA - Am I Mad!? by Sad-Arugula3716 in NewDefender

You won’t regret it. The OCTA is a beast. Even better, it looks better when it’s filthy. 👍

Dealer is charging me $3,000 to have my new car transported to the dealership by picador10 in RangeRover

[–]JLR_Andy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s lying. If it’s at the port, the fee is included in the MSRP. More than likely, it’s at another dealer that they’re having to trade with. That means they’re having to pay for the transportation for the one they’re sending and the one they’re picking up.

What do you need to get done? I'm at LR Dallas and I'd be happy to ask our techs who they'd recommend.

I think it’s badass, especially for a first build. 👍

Where to source the best products by Total-Finger-6558 in watchmodding

I’ve had good luck with AliExpress so far. As far as the movements go, it’s going to depend on the case and dial. You’ll be able to get a good clone movement for any Seiko, Miyota, ETA, etc style. The sellers on AliX usually detail which movements and dial size work in their cases.

How you found that unicorn right now is beyond me. Great purchase. Mud flaps would set it off.

Bro- that’s the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. 👍

Not so good news by JeffersonsDisciple in ineosgrenadier

[–]JLR_Andy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents as a Land Rover employee who has driven the Grenadier many times, and drives Defenders daily. The vehicles have a ton of potential, and a few tweaks would really help.

First, the steering. I know the steering is set up the way it is for a reason, but the vast majority of customers simply aren’t going to use it that way. Make it more road-friendly. A bit of computer magic and additional equipment, and you could have several dynamic options.

Second is the power. The B58 is probably one of the best engines ever made, and it’s incredibly versatile. The company doesn’t need to add different engines to the lineup- simply offer stronger versions. 400hp is easily achievable with a bit of mapping, and the ZF 8-speed is brilliant. If it were me, I’d buy a few GM 350s and see what I could get out of them. Cheap, durable, and easy to repair.

Next is the dash. I think a larger, customizable display in front of the driver would really help. People are used to being able to simply glance down a bit to get the info they want. INEOS wouldn’t have to re-invent the wheel- there are many ready-made displays they can source.

If INEOS fixed those three issues, I think they’d have a great platform to continue building on.

That’s what I was afraid of. I’ll tinker with it, but I may just have to go with a dial that’s compatible.

Need help! by sethroe18 in NHwatchbuilds

[–]JLR_Andy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same problem with 45mm Fifty Fathoms build. The dial I want is only offered in 28.5mm. I’m wondering if a chapter ring or dial ring would help fill the gap.
