Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / November 2007Problems with new Defender
Very disappointing, took delivery of a brand new 110 XS CSW last Tuesday and it has a catalogue of faults. 1. Ticking noise from rear transmission/diff (may require replacement) 2. Loose item rattling around in dash (requires dash out) 3. Missed paint from rear door slams and paint run under hinge 4. Drill swarf left all over the interior under the carpets Dealer has faffed around and claim that it will be a minimum of 7 more days before I can have it back. I am trying to reject it and demand a replacement, it was brand new on the 22nd and the faults were reported on the 23rd. Will keep you posted!

Mines 11 years old and the dash still rattles... LOL! I ain't expecting it to be squeak and rattle free but there is something in the dash rolling around, if it's a screw or similar it shouldn't be there and I'm worried about it shorting electrics etc. Already found a random machine crew rolling around in the seat box, the build quality is shocking and for £28k I expect a hell of a lot better.

Most noticeable when you come off the power and dip the clutch. SignatureAndy <<Defender 110 XS CSW>> >Most noticeable when you come off the power and dip the clutch. Yup my 2006 MY 110 XS does that too.....along with most of the late ones that I have in the workshop for service. Seems to be a feature of the Dana axles. None of my customers complain about it. I have had one main dealer look at it....and I am sure it is all they did. It will need to go in for its first real warranty issue shortly so will get them to have another "look" at it then, before just doing it myself.

It's good they are fitting "issues" as standard now. Normally you have to earn a certain amount of blood shed to get "issues" and have to clock up a few miles. The 110 here is amost mint by comparison... if not a tad smokey on startup :-) Nige reckons you can see it on google earth. Lee D |
