music to my ears! thank you for your input. Which trim did you drive it on? How long was your test drive?

glad to you know you got it fixed. The new transmission you got, is it another MT82 or is a swap? Sounds like mT82 and it's working well.
If getrag messes up another ford MT i think it might be another nail in the coffin of MTs... I have had experience with cold start up and making sure the...
Yeah I can't imagine they wouldn't put this one through it's paces - it does say it's an entirely new architecture.

i personally want katzkin to make us that saddle brown interior we all love (with steering wheel and shift boot) and i want my dealer to have it installed with heated seats ;) My base squatch will then be complete!
What I want is a 5th seat in the 2 door :(
The new defender even has a jump seat in the front (so the 2-door can seat 6! Now that is practical.)
Someone please figure out how to stick a jumpseat in this thing (or the dual bench seats in the back!
I know it won't be road legal, but for the...
is anyone able to provide an estimated guess to the following questions:
will manual sasquatch come with and/or require A4x4?
