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.

J-150 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Apparently, Tata is also worried about the Bronco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
