I thought the new Defender had Software over the Airwves, so it could be diagnosed and set up remotely. Also with regards to the Ineos Grenadier, I have seen somewhere the starting price is around 35 ... |

I do like what I’ve seen of the new Defender. It’s on my list to replace the DS in a few years. Fingers crossed they’ll do a Trident Green one with white or cream roof. Not pearl or metallic t ... |
