The chequer plate on the bonnet is purely cosmetic. The old defender had flat, chequered areas either side of the bonnet that genuinely were designed for standing on. This is, as I understand it, merely a nod to the past in the styling, rather than anything functional.
My D90 300 Tdi has aluminium chequer plates. Custom made. Very rugged. Can step/ stand on. Highly reccomended. I suppose the modern version can be stood on too. Well if it cracks, any competent local craftsman can quickly fabricate a replacement. My 10 cents worth of freedback 😂. Michael Moi, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Yes, snow. Headlight washers are really useful in the high country. Also the bonnet “step” pads are not real. Just a homage to the original. Otherwise, really informative thanks.

It's a great place to set something down like a cup, phone etc for a few minutes without worrying about the paint scratching. :)
@@marycornelius8276 yes, ideal. On the old one you could stand on it!
@@guy1234484 how often you have a need to stand on your car? 😂😂😂
True. And it looks like triple pattie hamburgers😅
Ordered the 110 V8 Carpathian Edition. Hope it will be a great car after driving the Range Rover L322 for 15 years
You will love it. Best vehicle I've ever had. So enjoyable to drive.
8,200 towing capacity? That’s impressive!
Most informative Defender video I've seen, particularly on the interface thank you.
Nice Doug Demuro impression at "This!"😅
Great Video, thank you!!
The large screen isn't strictly for 2024s. I have it on my 2022. Thanks for the extremely informative review.

2024 I Want a 110 V8.
Have you had any power steering failures or other issues?
Yes, snow. Headlight washers are really useful in the high country. Also the bonnet “step” pads are not real. Just a homage to the original. Otherwise, really informative thanks.
Хороший удобный!
Жаль что ломается и глючит постоянно, страшно на нём уезжать далеко от сервисцентра.
If You Want a 3rd Row Get a 130 Defender, Not a 110.
Get a disco 2
Is this a 110 or 130?
Look Like a 110.
how to reset trip a?
At 6.27 he is at rear of vehicle
It’s definitely a 110 model
