New Octa arrived…was worried about the Charente Grey but it turned out great. Still breaking it in but early returns on the BMW engine are positive. Much more “elegant” power curve. It drives great as well. Looking forward to more “seat time”.

 

Great looking Octa! Enjoy and happy motoring!

 

Love the Charente and the black!

 

Congrats, I just pulled a the trigger on an 25 Octa Edition One. It will be my first Defender and first JLR car. I'll be driving her cross country from Indiana to Nevada for my final move.

 

Anyone change the oil on the OCTA yet?

 

Yes, at 1000 miles to get break in oil out.

 

Did you do it yourself or dealer/independent? If yourself, any difference from p400?

 

I am assuming JEEVES took care of the change

 

disco96sd - you obviously have missed the minimum wage rate increases over the past few years and new work rules. Terrible situation! Food and board just doesn’t make it. How do you think JLR dealers get away with it?

PS standard service on the old RR was easy compared to the new Defender.
