Thanks didn't think to look for a swatch page... I think it's 'Denim Twill' bit hard to tell... might ring up LR see if they have a build spec. The Waxoyl'ing is in Cornwall, just, near Saltash, I'll report next week on quality, they do main dealer work so hopefully know their stuff, hopefully Cheers G

Very excited I am now in posession of my Defender 90. I have a few projects that need sorting, booked in for waxoyl next week whilst it's still clean, £90 which I thought was excellent, let's see how it looks. Ordered some roof bars and rear ladder too. Need to sort some back seats and was going to order some flip up ones from Exmoor, I know there are a lot on ebay but would rather get some new ones with new belts. Kids will be in the back sometimes don't want to scrimp on safety, although sideways facing seats with laps belts aren't great to start with I know. I don't have the original delivery spec (can LR give me this?) so have no idea what seat cover material/colour I have.... Any ideas? Thanks in advance Gavin

Thanks Jim, actually 300Tdi worked and not 300tdi Anyway I have it now so much appreciated, thanks. Cheers Gavin

hmm getting 'bad password' on the 300tdi maunual...

p.s. altered url so it now works Manuals

Thanks Jim!

Need to start reading as no 'fender yet, as I'm picking up in 3 days and counting. Nothing doing in Halfords, Haynes only seem to go up to N reg. I hear rumours of a pdf version, nights under the covers with the laptop bekon? Cheers Gavin

Welcome, from someone who's only been here for 5 mins themselves

Will do, good advice, ta!

Good one, I'll be off on a peace keeping mission asap, missus has already christened it a 'fridge on wheels', dealer told me white didn't show the dirt Thought I would underseal anyway, need to get a new jack as mine is rated 2T and I think that is pushing it, mind you with two wheels on the ground does that make it only one tonne I'm lifting G

What a welcome! I'm a member of a few different Car Forums and that has to be THE best welcome ever, thanks! Should be picking the Defender up next Tuesday so will have more questions then, first job is to sort the back seat situation. Been looking at the Exmoor Trim options of either bench seats or the small flip up ones, will need lap belts too. Here's a pic. The only non-standard thing I think are the rear windows, other than that seems sound, will get three months warranty so should get some miles on it sharpish! Need to get some roof bars too for the surf boards, then some off road lessons! I'm near St Neot (between Bodmin and Liskeard) TTFN G

Just about to pick up my Defender and very excited about the new purchase as it's my first. Sure there will be lot's of questions, but thought I'd say hello first. Looks like a great place. Cheers (for now) Gavin
