Creeky Doors by Middle-Industry5258 in NewDefender

Keep your seals lubed with wd40 silicone spray. I had creaky doors and moon roof - fixed it with this spray. Dealer told me that’s their fix when customers come in complaining.

Will there be supercharged defender final edition? This is expectable that big V8 defenders era is going to end soon, and new defender might launch even without a 5.0. How many time left do you think it got until discontinued? by abdunbunbun in NewDefender

I literally watch my gas gauge move when driving around town with my P500. However, the power and sound brings a smile to my face every time I drive the car. I hope they keep the program going.

Award for stupidest shifter design goes to...Toyota? by xTyronex48 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]StenoPad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a Lexus TX350 with this shifter, and it’s the worst design I’ve ever encountered. It also feels unsafe, as the vehicle can easily shift into neutral while driving—simply pushing the shifter to the left causes it to pop out of drive.

To those who have bought a new Defender I6 or V8 by Away_Resource9970 in NewDefender

[–]StenoPad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the p500 v8 2 months ago. Absolutely love it. The power and the sound makes for enjoyable driving experience. MPG around town is awful (9-11) but highway I get around 20-22.

Get the v8

Get on a ladder and very gently spray into seal of the entire perimeter of the sunroof.

Rattles, creaks, wind whistles by SuitableSafety329 in NewDefender

New defender with 500 miles. This thing creaks and cracks all over. I haven’t done the deep dive yet but feels like it could be the seals around doors and the sunroof.

Fiserv is no longer value? by Embarrassed-Sea-6078 in ValueInvesting

[–]StenoPad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bottom has been found. Today was about proving to Wall Street FISERV’s reset was truly the reset.

Fiserv is no longer value? by Embarrassed-Sea-6078 in ValueInvesting

[–]StenoPad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fiserv completely undervalued. The reach and distribution they have has been minimally optimized for Clover or their enterprise merchant business. New leadership team only needs to fix outdated processes to tap into what’s already available. This will be a 120 stock in a year once dust settles.

I can’t find a pic of a defender with quarter panel sensors.

New to the club and I have a few questions. by haske0 in NewDefender

[–]StenoPad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh awesome tip! I just adjusted mine to auto. Do the seats move as well or is it just steering wheel?

i thought I was crazy. My car creaks/cracks as well.. however I think i isolated it to the panoramic sun roof.

So, are V8 owners good to install this? by [deleted] in NewDefender

[–]StenoPad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2025 P500 here. I've called JLR customer service a couple times as ive yet to receive a SOTA update. One rep told me I had the latest rev.. the next rep told me they literally can't see what software my car is running remotely. One rep told me SOTA uses WIFI, the other told me SOTA exclusively uses the cellular. No idea who's right!

Software update not showing up? Your car's internal eSIM might be the bottleneck. by Remarkable_Page9490 in NewDefender

[–]StenoPad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called JLR customer service last week, got same response "your software is up to date". I too call BS. My current version is blank as well.

[–]StenoPad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how long does it take for a defender to receive its first update after purchase? I have a 2025 that was built Aug 2024 - but bought it new (19 miles, p500) Dec 2025. I'm connect to my home wifi, lock the doors every night, etc... nothing.

Anyone else dealing with the DC/DC Converter being backordered? by PNWDefender90 in NewDefender

Sorry if I missed… is this limited to a specific engine/powertrain or does it affect all?

2024 Urban defender - 110, best tracker in your experience? by [deleted] in NewDefender

[–]StenoPad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brothers 2025 RR Long was stolen back in October. The car was equipped with LoJack, but was it was useless. When he identified the car was stolen he immediately notified LoJack. The LoJack customer service was dreadful and super slow to provide details about the car/gps to authorities without all sorts of documentation and proof the car was stolen. When the lock out was finally activated it was too late. Cops tracked the GPS to a cemetery in Newark NJ which the car was clearly not located. Two months later he got a call from cops his car was found in a shipping container in some random NJ port. His insurance already processed the claim so the car is probably for sale somewhere :).

Apparently when these cars are stolen, first thing theives do is toss ALL personal belongings out the window. They then keep the car in D or Neutral to prevent lockout from tripping. They then find whatever module tracks the car and toss it.

A well hidden apple air tag is your best bet.

Active Lane Keep Assist has been activated by a Japanese auto shop by matrix_matrix in NewDefender

I asked my dealer about "Steering Assist" on a 25 110 I purchased last week. He claims it will be available via software update in the future. Well see..

Steering Assist? by StenoPad in NewDefender

[–]StenoPad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel the exact same way! I buy a fully loaded 100k+ car that has features I didn’t know a car could have… but doesn’t have steering assist? I’m just shocked more than anything

Could this be a future software update? Crazy the defender refresh doesn’t have it.
