Build month and delays.....

As far as I am aware the new Defender isn't suitable for fitting more than a little nudge bar.

OEM bar was available from the start:

And it might have taken a few years, but the aftermarket has caught up:

There isn't an oem bar on the website that I could find to option and the one at the bottom is useless as an animal stopper

Glad they have worked out how to put Winches on them now without cutting irreplaceable wiring looms behind the bumper.

This is the Australian website showing all exterior protection options for the new Defender.
The checker body protection kit is plastic.
The A frame protection bar is also plastic.

I bet I would.
My go to is a lamb shank pie
I make it only 3-4 times a year if we have a large gathering

Here's a nice Porchetta I did just to add to the feast section

Kangaroo is as lean as you can get, it is not farmed and is as free range as you can imagine.

Roo often tenderises and grilles itself!

The mods in this forum must be very tolerant or hungry.
For me, I´m happy if i don´t burn water in a pot.

Yes that's a definite plus for the Ineos approach ~ plug & play.

Speaks more to the bods at JLR not really having much market/aftermarket knowledge of the subject matter; that and the fact that you have to measure & cut various bits of plastic to make a winch fit shows it was not designed to have one in the first place.

As I taught my son... the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

It didn't come up as an accessory for the 110, possibly because it starts with 90

 

[DCPU]

90, 110, 130, with coil springs, with air suspension, it's all there on the page:

So back on topic...

It seemed that there was a cluster of German owners that looked to be getting the first orders, and some UK owners may have thought their orders should have been higher up the allocation.

A similar thing has happened with regard to the new model from Lotus, and it may be relevant to hear his explanation. Starts about 20:20 in:

Can't help seeing lots of other similarities between the two companies, product, owners, etc.

50% of UK owners wanted to collect their car from the factory rather than an agent or home delivery.

Yep sure did. Probably trying to celebrate the first production vehicle coming off the line at Hambach and had a technical hiccup (not totally unexpected). My guess anyway...

I received an email this morning promoting (again) the Australia video series.

 

[Bushguide]

Yes sure did,
Probably is sent for you to fill in whatever news you want to hear?
