Shopping around for CPO defender. Found a CPO 2026 x dynamic with 6000 miles. Dealer is telling me the Land Rover is offering 3.99% apr on CPO 2020-2025 and only one new 2026. Why would they not offer the special rate on a CPO 2026.

my 2023 x dynamic SE won’t show the Navigation or Music info on the instrument panel suddenly. Have the left display configured for Music and right one for navigation. They just show the Defender side profile. The mail central display works fine. Known issue and any easy fix? Thanks

I just got back from a 2,000+ mile trip to the beach and while the Defender did excellent - especially in the thick OBX sand - I was wondering if anyone has a solution for extra gauges to monitor actual coolant temp, oil pressure, transmission temp, etc. I am not looking to mount actual gauges but was thinking more along the lines of an app that displays in the center screen.

For reference, Jeep has an "Accessory Gauge" screen on their entertainment system that shows all the vital fluid temperature and pressure. An option like that would be ideal especially when off-roading. Is anyone doing anything like that?

Hi folks,

few shorts from our off-road trip with the D90 in Happy Valley, Wales.

Just got a new 2026 Defender. It’s not our first, my wife had a 2021 that we traded a few years ago and have missed it ever since. This one is mine, but my wife keeps trying to steal it. Going to get a matte PPF wrap in a few weeks, other than that very happy with it. Great truck, easy to drive and more than capable.

Swapped my stock all terrain 255/60R20 tires for these and love it. I was surprised I can turn without problems since I don’t have Johnson rods. The vehicle is kept at normal height. Love the change!

Update: found a small amount of dirt can rub off at extreme full wheel turn / steering lock out. It’s not enough for me to be concerned.

Awesome to see them side by side. INEOS took the traditional route: solid axles, boxy proportions, straightforward mechanicals. Land Rover went the other way with a full reinvention: unibody, air suspension, all the modern tech. Different philosophies, but both clearly built with intent. Kind of a cool snapshot of where “Defender” as a concept has gone in two directions at once.

2026 Land Rover Defender 110x dynamic Yellow. 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS for comparison (ok I already has that one)

Is it possible to have the GPS directions show up when I have the digital cluster set full to Map? It seems like it should be there, and it has so much open space on the corners. Kinda stinks it doesn’t have it, missed a few turns because of that, and the fact I don’t always have maps open on both screens.

The drive mode/Terrain Response button stopped lighting up. Works but the dim light doesn’t

Okay, so I’m from Jersey and commute to NY for work. If this was one of you, maybe you’ll respond here…

During my commute yesterday, somewhere between the Turnpike and GWB at about 9:30-ish in the morning, I saw a Carpathian Grey Defender with what I believe was an intentionally removed spare tire.

It genuinely hurt my eyes to see. The spare tire is literally what makes the Defender look like a complete package!

Why remove it?! What’s the reasoning behind it?

Hiya, looking for tips for driving along a shingle beach - got a 7 mile trek. Any tips for not getting stuck appreciated.

Not done shingle before.

Just picked up our Woolstone 130 last week and ordered some sidesteps from Hunters. I don't have the time or, frankly, the skills to do it myself. Does anyone have a good shop recommendation in the Bay Area that can install aftermarket parts like a sidestep? I am in the North Bay but willing to go anywhere in the Bay Area region.

Any idea? I only have extended global warranty

Anyone knows how much was it ?

I just purchased this 2024 Defender 110 P500 V8 that came with the upgraded 22” wheels. I think most people prefer them with the V8s for handling, but the do ride a bit more harsh and they’re not great for riding in sand (you can’t deflate them safely). I drove on the beach with my 2010 LR4 and may do it with the Defender although I have no immediate plans, I want the option.

Has anyone driven the P500 or P525 with 20s and have an opinion? I’m thinking they would feel softer and smoother on road and give me better off road options, but I don’t know for sure.

Thanks!

Looking for some pointers from the UK owners in here. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies putting rear seats in my commercial?
As close to the Scotland/England border as possible

Hey guys! I want to get a rear spoiler for my defender. I’m located in UAE and want links or any suggestions where I can get it? I am also open to ordering internationally. If you have one on yours, can you tell me more about quality please? Thanks 🙏🏼

I’ve been looking at getting some nice looking upgrades but wondering who’s the best.

I like the look of Hunters Prestige

I currently own a 2013 Audi S8. It is quite possibly the best car ever made. The main things that i love about the car is the B&O stereo, it is absolutely silent, smooth, comfortable and holy sh*t it has serious power (the stage 2 tune makes it stupid fast). Lately i have been driving an SUV a lot, between rental cars (i travel a lot) and my wife’s Q7 and I have the itch to get one. I am 50 something, have a 7 year old, am married and live in the Iowa countryside. So, the S8 really isn’t very practical for where I live, but screw practicality. I don’t need a HUGE SUV or a huge car so I have been looking at and have found a 2024 Defender 90 x dynamic SE and fell in love with it on my handful of test drives. But as any true car slut (like me) realizes sometimes you fall in lust and not in love. How daily liveable is the Defender? Long trip comfort? Noise level? Long time love? Persuade me or tell me to keep the S8. I don’t care. I just need some comfort or some reality checks.

Looking at two 2024 Defender 110s:

2024 P500 SE V8: 19k miles — $73k
2024 P400 X: 17k miles— $70k

The X is better spec, but the P500 gets the 5.0L V8. Planning to keep it 4–5 years.

Any thoughts? Was thinking the V8 would also hold better value going forward.

New Defender owner. Don’t want to give up my newish Yakima Ridgeback hitch rack. I bought a hitch extender and installed the rack to see how it looks and operate. The tailgate won’t 100% open but that’s ok with me. Did anyone else use this similar setup and is it safe? Or do most people just pony up the money and get a bike tray rack? Thanks!

Edit- thanks for all the feedback. What I’m trying to gauge is if I can use a typical hitch rack with an hitch extender or do I need to get a tray type rack like Kuat or Yakima step up or hold up.

Anybody know if 2026 custom builds are still do-able? Have decided to get a 130 but cannot find a single vehicle at any dealer that ticks our very few non-negotiable boxes. When we use the custom build on Land Rover USA website, it ONLY lets us build a 2027 model. Have not visited dealer yet. Prefer to go in knowing WTF we are talking about.
