Ref: L663 Defender 110 X. What is the difference between Functional Undershield (option DF0US, $1,000) and the Undershield (option 028QB, $650)?

 

Which year are you looking into? Which country are you in ? Which currency are you quoting? Are the quotes from the same location?

MY 2023 Defender 110X.
United States
Options and pricing come from Land Rover's 2023MY Defender New Vehicle Content, Pricing and Order Guide. I saw the guide while with the dealer during my ordering process; I don't have it in hand to upload.

 

They are the same.
The “DF” codes are port installed options.
The “0” codes are factory installed options.
For the ‘22 model year the factory installed under shield was only available for the X and V8. So probably the same for ‘23.

 

This makes sense, as it appears from digging into the details the installs are of the same thing -- which is the Undershield shown in this instruction -- which is the functional, fully useful one.

The pricing makes sense, as when the port or the customer installs the functional front undeshield, instead of the factory, they throw away several critical parts (which I suppose could easily be worth $350 USD in parts and labor). If they could do this work in the factory, before they install the front bumper, it would definitely be an improvement.

Many on this thread have been complaining of the waste in NOT doing this work in the factory -- so maybe JLR listened?

 

Thanks team for your collective info thread - very informative. I assume it gives the customer the option to add the undershield as an after-thought once the car has departed the factory, but before it arrives at the dealer.
