NEW DEFENDER

(1/5) > >>

LOFTY:
Well, went and looked at the new one down Matford, looked about the same from outside, apart from bonnet, and ugly dents where air flaps use to be.
Opened door, to see all rubber flooring, no galv strip along door holding it down, dash looked ok.
Then i climbed in, all the talk is of more room, well i am 6'4", and it felt more cramped than normal, all the dash is closer to you, so it seems more cramped than before, and my legs are tight under the steering wheel.
Couldnt try a 110 DC, as they are late arriving, was hoping the 110 might have more scope to move seat back futher, and perhaps change steering wheel.
And for a saturday morning, very quiet in showroom.

Anybody esle looked at one yet?

smo:

Have a look at the topic in the General section nameed '2007 Defender' or similar.

A new 110 is as rare as a white dog poo at the moment - hope it will change this week...

Test drove the 90 SW at the weekend. Brilliant. The engine is very feisty and the gearbox smooth and positive.

Eeyore:
I know what you mean about cramped!

I'm not the first to notice the drivers seat is nearer the door than previously, and it was close before! I think it's somehting to do with fitting that new gearbox (which as said is positve and smooth).

Did you know the engine has been detuned from it's fitment in the Tranist? Now, that opens up some possibilities.

It was the 110 I drove.

Cheers
