Finally got my Defender back after two weeks at the dealer waiting for a new keyless entry wiring harness overlay and a new center console armrest. I went through two Discovery Sport loaner cars (the first one had a window that wouldn't go back up) and I'm glad to be back in the Defender that now has a completely functional keyless entry system!

Back to playing around with custom configurations using my new GAP tool.
‘Now have configurable dynamic mode.
‘Also shut off the brake hold feature entirely, I really hated that brake hood feature. Almost as much as I hated that start stop crap that I permanently shut off a few days ago with my GAP tool soon as I got it out of the box. lol
‘Loving this GAP tool.
Today was one of the few days I wish I had a 130 instead of a 110. Or wishing I could roll down the rear window like a 4Runner. Or maybe just missing the LR4's amazing split tailgate. Just drop the LR4 bottom tailgate and 10' lumber fits easily. Looking back, the LR3 engineers that created the split tailgate and packaged the full size spare tire and spacious fold-flat third row seats into the rear cargo area were geniuses. Or maybe I should buy the $3500 LR4 listed in the marketplace for hauling home repair supplies but the last thing we need is another vehicle in the crowded driveway.

Agreed; the L319 was an excellent platform. Nothing beat the split tailgate. It was genius. Great for hauling, you could still open it in tight spaces, and perfect for tailgating. I regret selling mine and I'll own another sometime.

Don't forget being able to duck under it when loading grocery bags in the pouring rain. Maybe that LR4 in the marketplace is for you. I can't believe it has not sold yet at that price.
Last night I went out to dinner with a couple friends at a restaurant that only offers valet parking, which I hate. It reminded me of a time I was at the same restaurant last summer, where they had two Defenders parked right in front, and I told the valet to park my Defender next to the others. He didn't because it was muddy after a day of off-roading, so I slipped him a $20 bill and he parked mine next to the others. Whether clean or dirty, the Defender looks great parked up front!
