    Defender not the same as registration document

    Thanks, hadn't thought of that. I do occasionally go in on a Sunday for the free parking but will probably take my wife's fiat 500 rather than the Landy from now on.

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Am I being paranoid and blowing things out of proportion ?

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Yes, I understand the tax thing. What's worrying me is that several insurance companies have said, "if it's a different model to the one stated on the V5, they won't touch it with a barge pole." So either they are wrong (and maybe Land Rover can help resolve this) or every new defender...

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Managed to speak to Land Rover yesterday. Customer services weren't interested and washed their hands of the problem so got in through the back door with an admin. number. They said this was most unusual took my details, apologised and said they'd 'escalate' the enquiry. We'll see. Also the...

    Defender not the same as registration document

    If you're interested, this is what they said, (not sure how this resolves the insurance question though) Context As part of the 11MY programme, all Defender derivatives were re-classified into the N1 Commercial Vehicle category in order to be type approved for sale under the new European...

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Yes I've done that on the quotes. I assume an A bar is the same as bull bars, just sounds a bit worse.

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Thanks, I suppose I'll start by ringing the DVLA. I haven't bought it yet but I have paid a deposit and negotiated some extras which they're fitting as we speak.

    Defender not the same as registration document

    Hi all, Just about to buy my first Defender, nearly new from a main dealer. The registration document says it's a 110 utility but in the flesh it's a 110 station wagon. The salesman says Land Rover started doing this to avoid paying higher road fund licence, is that legal? Land Rover...
