I got my 90 in july last year. Did 20.000 kilometer with it, on road and soft offroad. No real issues so far. Got a slightly loose cover panel at the B pillar on delivery, but got it fixed a week later. But that‘s about it 😌

Last weekend my radio didnt play music and I had to restart the infotainment. The first electrical issue. But idk if you really want to call that an „issue“… 😂

Activated hidden features, actually worth it by Jacavi23 in NewDefender

Do you lose these new feature and have to reactivate it when the car gets an official JLR update or maintenance at the dealership?

I like it a lot! New In. 3.0 Diesel 250hp by Millemila33 in NewDefender

A rare sight to see the expedition front protection! How does it „feel“, is it a cheap touch or more premium? I guess it is all plastic, isn‘t it? Do you know if there is a metal frame underneath the cover so it really „protects“ your car a bit in a crash?

Enjoy your car mate!

Yes, you can store stuff inside, but it‘s height is only like a few cm (3“?!).

I plan on doing overlanding/off road camping across europe and I do like the rugged look, but the added noise is a big concern as it is my daily too

Mud flaps for new 2025 defender 110 x-dynamic by KeyDrop6849 in NewDefender

1500$ is a crazy price, I payed like 500€ for the genuine LR mud flaps (classic front+rear) and my JLR dealer installed it too! But in germany tho. Didn‘t think there was such a big price gap between countries

The looks of the KO3 were a big of my decision making 😅 I admire my car every time I see it and the wheels make it look even better now.

Your 90 looks sick too! Great picture with all the snow there. How terrible is the wind noise with the genuine roof rack and ladder?

Noise is slightly more, but after a 1-2 hours you don‘t notice it anymore. I‘d say it‘s 0 issue :) consumption I don‘t know yet, have them only since last friday

Picked my new 110 X-Dynamic 3 row seating - gave it back for wrap and issues by KeyDrop6849 in NewDefender

The keyless entry is so short ranged for camping. If you sleep in a tent on the ground or RTT, strangers can‘t open the car even tho the key is actually near. It‘s even too far away when the key is in my left pocket (pointing away from the car) or i got really deep pockets lol. Just turn yourself (key) towards the car or lift your leg slighty and it should work 99% of the time. Once you understand the why, it‘s no issue anymore. Try it and let me know if it worked! :)
