I ordered mine 110 in March. Build date was 6/13. When I get on TOPIX and enter my VIN I can see my vehicle. The info is limited but I can see all kinds of problem being worked on, such as
running lights not working
software update suspended
air duct noise rattle
rear doors difficult to open
distortion using audio system
sun roof not working
and more
This is going on from about 7/15.
Is this normal? Should I be worried? How do I know when it is done and shipped. I noticed people know what ship its on. How do you find out?

They all go through updates. Mine had a list of things too. The only current one is delivery inspection. As for getting the ship info ask your salesperson if your Defender as boarded a sea vessel yet. He/she should be able to ask their manager for this info and pass it on.
Mine was sent on a sea vessel from Belgium to Southampton, then it started on it way to the USA.
I think my 110 is on the same ship. It's like pulling teeth to get info from my dealer, but they did say it was loaded on a ship on 8/8. (Granted they also told me it was "on a boat" before in July) Based on the schedules that lines up with when yours was loaded. It's so strange that there's no clear answer as to what sea port they normally leave from after being built in Nitra.

What list are you all seeing in topix? I just see the L700 campaign listed for mine. The only fault list I see is for popular issues, many of which don't even apply to my build.

Likely all of us with late June, early July builds are on the same ship. Now to see how quick they will install wheel arch extensions and A-frame protection bar at port and ship up to Boston. Still have estimated delivery date of 9/3. Original order placed 1st week of May.

I'm still on track for delivery on 8/20, it must be taking a week to install those accessories. Also, Fleetmon.com will show satellite positioning.

Unless you're picking it up at the port, there's no way you're getting it on 8/20. That's when the ship arrives in Baltimore. Tracking says the 18th at 23:59 which rather funny. I guess if you dock a minute before the 19th then you get an award or something.
I've been told 9/3 delivery as well, but I think they are just throwing out dates at this point. I think for most people it does seem to take about 2 weeks to finally receive their vehicle after it lands in the US.

The 18th is what the itinerary says. There's no way it takes 2 weeks to truck the car from Baltimore to destination....it's a 17 hour drive so theoretically, I could get it on the 20th. We'll see what happens I guess.
