Default Finally got it! '22 D90

Finally took delivery of my D90 after about a 2 month delay. Specs as follows:

MY2022 Defender 90 S
Eiger Grey
18" Style 5093, Gloss White, Steel
White contrast Roof (now available!!)
Folding Fabric Roof
Khaki Grained Leather Interior
12-way Heated Semi-powered Front Seats (now standard for ‘22)
Meridian™ Sound System (also now standard)
11.4in Screen
Off-Road Package

This truck is amazing . Everything I had hoped for and more! 4cyl is plenty of power IMO and the coil suspension is really nice. It does sit very tall on the coil suspension though, which i like but some may prefer side steps in this config.

Only issue is that the passenger side door will not lock...welcome to land rover ownership, i guess Taking it back to the dealer tomorrow to see what's up. Hopefully a simple fix.

Next, I need to figure out how to hardwire for my V1. Anyone do this yet? Where's the fuse panel?

Some quick pics:

Thanks guys.

Random question, when i started the car this morning, there was a graphic of 3 seats in the tach. It went away after a few minutes. Any idea what that is?

I think this is displaying if the second row seat belts are buckled. They show as white empty seats when unbuckled and I believe show as green seat belts when buckled.

It took me about four months to figure that out.

Thanks! Loving the snorkel. Did you have it installed after delivery? If so, how did that work? Price, process, etc?

Snorkel was port installed - look at powerfulukltd's website they sell it and have an installation video - it does require a special tool insertion tool which you can probably rent.

I installed the aluminum front undershield myself (post this photo) - not difficult at all though....
