My dealer said early on it's installed by them, then later is installed at the port.

I guess they've watched the great powerfuluk video

CHeers,

Afternoon Gents,

Just placed an order for MY2022 110 X-Dynamic SE, build date est. 8/27/21 delivery est 10/22/21

Does anybody know if there are any "deadly" options that have been or would likely cause extra delay (I.E. bigger screen, air susp, elect diff, etc etc)?

I'm currently rolling around in a MY20 110 SE build date of June 20' and it's got the most rattles/creaks/etc of any vehicle I've ever owned, but I'll be damned if I don't love the truck anyway. I figure most of my issues were that it was the first "batch" of Defenders off the line and into the states and some/most of my issues are probably fixed. I also LOVE that I can get a new Defender with coil suspension, as much as I love the air I love the idea of the coil for long term costs and ease of maintenance more.

Are you trading in your MY20? I'm not a fan of rattles and creaks.

Click on the "View all vehicle details" link above the small photo:


Click on the Minor Features tab:


Hope this helps. If the Minor Features tab is not there, it may indeed be too early to check - although from recollection mine was available the very first day my dealer gave me the VIN (a day or two after the buold date).
How did you get your vehicle pulled up? When I enter the VIN it throws an error for me to enter the full VIN.

Definitely am, because as much as I love the truck and how it looks (put a 1.5" johnson rod lift, big tires etc) I just can't stand the constant rattle from the drivers side B pillar area (tried silicon fix, dealers looked at it, the whole nine yards).

I've heard the newer MY Defenders have solved a number of my little build quality issues but I suppose we'll see.

Mine is supposedly built but it says it has One Outstanding Campaign: L700

WTF does that mean?

I used a VIN Finder and it pulled up a 2022 110 but not what I ordered,
It was Gray, not black.
A P330, not P400.

Not sure what's going on????

Um...a 700 Liter engine?

I must admit I've never ordered a car...I've always bought off the lot. So this experience has been a bit confusing.
