Default Looking good

Fingers crossed.
Saw my dealer today. He said that since the order is confirmed and beyond the change date, and since it says digital cockpit, that he fully expects it to have it. He said he typically sees any spec changes happen BEFORE that confirmation. We will see if that is accurate in a few months.

Means about less than 6 month total time from ordering to delivery and about 3 month total time from allocation to delivery. Subject to change of course.




So a bit of an update now that my last amendment date has passed today. I was told on Monday I will not be receiving the Meridian Surround System as that will be reserved for the Full-Size RR and RR Sport, as with the 3D Signature Sound. Should just default to the normal Meridian System (which is what I had on my 90).

Also, any possible changes made this past Monday to the build itself would ultimately push back my delivery date several months, so I deceived I’m keeping everything the way it is and adding a few accessories to the Notes that couldn’t be added to the factory build itself regardless. Can’t wait and it’s my perfect build.

Is there anyway to track the vehicle production outside of the dealer/order detail page updates, as well as what ship it’s on (like via a login or email); or that just via a LR rep providing that dealer the info?

Also, here’s what the full height partition (cage) will look like, still glad I kept the heated third row in case I ever want to use it…

You’ll be able to see it on the last 2 pages of your order details paper work. My ‘23.5 Build shows it.

Received mine (USA - from a dealer in New Jersey) today. 2023 110S. Ordered on 29 October 2021; delivered on 28 September 2022. Eleven months.

No bad surprises with "decontenting" - the only thing I couldn't order when it came time to lock it down was the nicer seats. Mine are leather, but not the nice leather. But that's OK - saved me some money.

When I ordered it, the spec was the original smaller screen; soon after I ordered it, I was told all 2023 models would have the larger screen. And then it went back to the smaller screen, which is what was delivered today. Again, that's OK.

It did include the "clear sight" rear mirror, the cold weather pack, the off road pack - all things that I thought would be vulnerable to chip shortages.

So I'm happy in the end.

Best of luck to all of you as you wait for yours.

- Mike

Default Tire protection and extended warranty

Was talking to SA today as I’m expecting the rig next month and he was indicating about tire protection and extended warranty. So I want to ask fellow enthusiasts as to whether these are worth it and how much does it cost approx? I’m getting x dynamic and 22” wheels. I’m taking delivery in New Jersey.

so on 22's I'd get look at some kind of rim insurance or replacement program. why? because of potholes will bend those faster than anything. I'd shop around see if there are any options but that'd be what I'd worry about, the size of rim, weight of vehicle, and frequency of potholes. I've bent some rims/bubbled a tire on stupid potholes in a lot of vehicles because of the thin strip of rubber to wheel ratio. The Rims aren't cheap and regular insurance might be a pain with them.

Extended warranties are hit or miss for me, I like cars too much and usually replace them 3-5 years in. So it's up to you. If it's a manufacturer warranty I'd say yes more often, as they're transferrable or you get money back when you sell the car (well at least I did with Ford).

I posted earlier today asking for opinions on the extended warranty (also took delivery in NJ):

Wondering about the relative value for an LR product where you still hear nightmare stories about expensive failures...

I responded but I think you posted in the wrong forum. That's the RR forum and this is the Defender forum.

Yep, I didn’t notice. Thanks for your reply, though.
