No, is the short answer.

We put our name down in November for the 2007 model. They have never issued a date really. The closest they got was "April" and during April, once the date had passd they said they launched it on 16th April.

Ours is built and has been for a good three weeks, but is waiting for that part, and is on the priority list of 50 cars (for what it's worth).

Mrs Seb and I went to our dealership yesterday to see if we wanted someting else instead (D3 or RR) but what we really want is our Defender!

LR have their customers over a barrel. They already have a massive order list and make so few cars in comparison to Ford or the Japanese car manufs that they know if someone pulls out they will sell the car in 5 minutes. As a result they treat their customers (and dealers) like rubbish.

Customer Services have promised some freebies when we eventually get it. I will be pushing for everything!  :roll:

Same as the old ones essentially + about £500 across the range. Still bloody expensive what what you actually get but for some reason we still pay it!  :P

I had a drive of one last week taking it back from the paint shop to the dealer (less than 100miles on the clock)

The owner had decided the paint wasn't up to a high enough standard and wanted some minute blemishes sorting.

My 1st surprise was that they missed the opportunity to move the seat in to the middle a bit so it is still comfier to drive with the window open!!

as for the engine and box though, fantastic...................

gets up to the legal limit quickly and stays there easy in 6th. at 60MPH in top your pulling just under 2000RPM

I only used 4, 5, and 6 really no matter how slow things got, pull away in second no problem and away you go.

some one probs a mag has  done a test of the anti- stall they park it on gravel with a tow rope to an artic lorry some one gets in passanger side turns key when in gear and off it goes pulling the wagon....maga.
then wagon brakes and the defender just burries itself in the gravel...nice.
i go past a dealer on the way to work there is lots of space in readyness for the eventual release but i dont think the production line would grind to a halt for trivial part to do with the seat????
