Appreciate the view. I finally did drive the 90 on air suspension in LR Experience day last week. Very nice and very good on normal roads. Off-road, wow ! An interesting feature as well , even on high mode, it still has an extra auto lift if you happen to “bottom out” on a crest, very clever. I doubt we would be doing that in ours. We have mudflats and steps anyway so that limits the mud n ruts stuff if you are off-road. Another video to share that experience on way

Thanks for the comments and great to meet a fellow pup/90 owner. Purcell had a bit of a scare when I closed the door on him but he seems to be over it and enjoying the experience again. Reminder to myself to add a video experience this weekend

@@ElectrifiedJourneys thanks for sharing your views, much appreciated and wishing you many happy miles in the Model Y

I’m not buying but I would also choose base model with blade battery

Thanks Stephen. We're really enjoying the 90 and your note is a nice reminder to get some more content up. I didn't realise we had hit 10 views. Amazing. I'm also looking at an option now of dropping the rear right hand side seat so Purcell can walk up a little ramp and into a crate of some sort. More on that in next video. Always happy to share stories - note if you want to order a rear wheel cover I've been waiting over 5 months for one ! Not easy...

Thanks Michael. Ole English Sheepdogs, lovely family pets.

Appreciate the feedback, we also need to invest in some good recording equipment :-)

Thanks for that, I need to explore that part and see what it adds.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comments all the way across the Atlantic. Go USA.

Hard to give you exact figures but for running around, lots of short runs I would say mid 20's, and longer runs early 30's.

Delighted you found the videos helpful. We are loving life with the D90.

It’s even specified on my build order sheet

@@robholland1937 Thanks Rob. I should clarify we walked into a showroom and this 90 was on display and they agreed to sell it to me there and then :-) No lead time. Let you know how I get on with my enquiry.

Good luck with the inset tray, I’ve a brand new one waiting for me at a dealers and there’s no sign of it

24 model

Hi. Are these now coming through on new models? My 24 model year 90 came in early November 23 and I'm still trying to get mine. Anyone got a part number?

So you prefer the 90 on coils to a D4 on air?

I would say 100% v the D5. As for the D4 , I preferred that to my D5 and always regretted trading up. (Some issues with my D5 we won’t go into now).

Thanks again Paul. Look forward to sharing experiences and see you along the road all being well some day.

hi there thats so great we will have two vids up today .Thank you.

Good spot. thats a winter setting you can enable if you want to move the wipers off the windscreen in those cold frosty nights. That said, we also have a remote setting to start the engine in prep for a journey while the Defender remains securely locked / immobilised.

Hi there and love the Triumph tag( my fav bikes). Go for the 110 Defender if it suits your needs, it is an amazing machine. I really loved the space and the back doors but not for us. Trust me, the 90 is perfect for our pup, he stands tall and is more secure than the wider space a bigger boot offers, he can also turn around. I personally drive a 530 Touring so he spends more time there than the 90, but given a dog is only in the space for a short period it suits perfectly (note the anti spill waterbowl from Landrover is very useful). 90 or 110, as the dog ages the folding ramp might be a useful purchase but not required for a lively furball friend. PLease do share a video when you get the new 110.

Hi Paul, great shout. Ours has the coil suspension, not air. Now this is because that was the spec in this Defender and we’d decided that would work perfectly well for us. Other than maybe lowering the Defender to help maybe an elderly person (Granda is our case) in, we had no need for “air”. The side steps are a must and I would say there is less body roll in this Defender than my previous HSE Discovery 5. This makes me prioritise getting a video done of full spec and benefits of each feature. I would therefore say the coil suspension is perfect.

Thanks for coming back to me that’s perfect

Thanks for watching Mark. We are working on our "recording kit" so we learn how to add clips together before we share further content. All good fun. Thanks for the note. I am looking these up to see what way we go and will shout if this OEM protector fits the bill, sounds good.

Good to hear back from you. I was impressed that your old English sheep dog enjoys being in the boot. We have 2 small jack russells and for the first few days we decided to use the front doors to harness them into the rear seats. Rain and slow speed of seat movement quickly out an end to that. We still wanted to harness them into the back seats but changed entry point to getting them to walk through the middle section of the rear seat from the boot. We’ve continued with this method for a year now and it works fine. Doesn’t help us carry human passengers in the rear though !! The defender 90 V8 unfortunately has both front seats with electric movement so we don’t have luxury of the quick release to slide the front passenger seat forward.

Thanks for the note. I love Harry's channel and did indeed watch his D90 commercial vehicle review. Then again he spent something like £60k on repairs to a vintage jag last year so lives in a very different commercial world to most of us. A very different proposition. I can only speak for us and the D90 suits our requirements perfectly including our beautiful OES needs. The lights are excellent ! I'll do a short video to share accessing and driving the Defender at night, one for the list.

Was your boot box supplied with the car? Or will it be supplied do you know? I took delivery of my 24MY 90 Hse just before Christmas, it had no boot box with it. I pointed out I thought it should. I found it in the breakdown for my vehicle specification - Flat load space tray I think it was called. I have pointed this out to the supplying dealer and they say they have contacted JLR, I am awaiting their response. It would be good to know if yours was supplied with the car or later.

Hi guys. We didn't get a boot box with ours. To be honest I was unaware of this as an option or new standard fitting. I think it does raise the boot base level however so I think I am prefer not having one. Will check out do a short video about this if I can swing by Charles Hurst and compare our Defender to one with it.

Thank you sir, much appreciated

We sure are, thank you for lovely comment

Thanks so much. Some good comes out of hours on the iPad :-) M is a great girl.

Super, the P400 would be awesome. Great sharing stories. Looking forward to hopefully meeting more like minded Defender families and individuals.

Always one

They do indeed and depending on size of dog I guess everyone decides whats best for them, either a net between the dog and the passengers , seat belt clip or "crate" for example

Thanks JC. Even better when the Defender supports your work and play. We must add a trip like that to the bucket list. HNY and wishing you much success in 2024.

@@Defender90Reviews And to you and yours. As for a trip, Go for it, highly recommend the Xmas markets in Strasbourg and Colmar, most hotels very dog friendly. I reckon Martha could drive! A Natural the way she sits in drivers seat!
