We finally have a new Land Rover Defender in the United States, but it's been missing something near and dear to America's heart: A sufficiently rowdy V8 engine. Those of you who've been waiting patiently since V8 Defender rumors started to surface finally have some scrumptious new meat to gnaw on: Motor Trend reports that a V8 is heading to the short-wheelbase, two-door Land Rover Defender 90.

Well at least Ford doesn't have a major influencer with a bad product to worry about...at least what I can see from my part of the internet.

 


Amazing how we’ve gone from spokespersons paid by the mfrs to promote their products to self proclaimed social media influencers who promote products and ask for compensation.

At this point JLR would be wise to just build them another one.  They sent an engineer to try to diagnose the issue and they couldn't even figure out what is causing their CEL to still illuminate.

I am sure they found out that the reason the CEL comes on is because of the LED installed behind it. :hysterical:

So now imagine that you live in a country where there are no lemon laws and JLR products are 50% more expensive.

Very few legal options to get your money back.......

The did a video update a few days ago-they got offered one that was slightly different (the original had some  sort of misfire they couldn't fix), but didn't have a winch..so they said they would put it in for them, but the dealership wasn't familiar with installing them. They wind up cutting a harness and JLR does their due diligence with it and said, uh its not working. So they are waiting on Number 3 to show up! FFS...can't make this up.

Maybe selling LR was a good idea.... Yikes.
