@@Jordan-D26 they're the same thing... Raised air intake is the official name. Raising the height of an intake won't change how much dust is in the area, That's why intakes have their own filters.

@@SuperVarunan Not the same: Raised Air Intake Ideal when driving in dusty or sandy conditions, the raised air intake helps protect the engine by taking in cleaner air from an elevated position, above the hood, and therefore reducing the amount of dust particles taken into the air filter. Manufactured from a high-quality, durable plastic with an Anthracite colored finish, it secures to the vehicle’s 'A' post and utilizes the existing air intake vent fixings. PLEASE NOTE: The raised air intake does not extend the vehicle’s wading capability beyond the standard wading depth of 35.4in.

In right hand-side-of-the-road countries with left hand drive steering. the door opens inconveniently for loading from the curb/roadside

The way the rear door opens is the right hand drive method. It should open the opposite way in a left hand drive vehicle. This is because you park on the right instead of the left.

As can be seen in various trials, this Defender is more capable and comfortable.

@@JohnnyZenith stop running around white knighting JLR please? You arent convincing anybody that these are reliable cars.

[@tracywhatt9162]

Oh my word you finally showed brake lights!!!! You have cup holders and visors but new DRL’s and flashing CHMSL’s are my biggest annoyances. If you could show brake lights every time and how the DRL’s look with a turn signal on. That would be amazing!!!

From 7:00 where are you driving around? The scenery and drive look amazing

At it's best? Come on guys, surely you've seen the issues already the TFL Channel is having with their new POS Offender. The dealer can't seem to find the issue so replacing so many things, and commenters that have also purchased are fuming and looking into Lemon Laws. It'll be off road, alright. Off road and on a hoist. They need to have a "check wallet" light that comes on as soon as you open the door :)

[@JohnnyZenith]

If you are basing everything off one customers issues that isn't good or fair, despite their valid problems.

[@WirtjesOne]

Hit us with the ol’ switcheroo in the intro. Nice.

This car is a symbol of how the world has gone soft.

Not sure if it is different in Canada but that snorkel is not water tight. It is a Baja snorkel. And I'm a JLR mechanic and have installed many snorkels on the defenders. There is just a fome padding on the edges that are 5mm thick and at the very bottom of the snorkel there is a drain hole. So do not go into water that reaches the snorkels bottom.

[@danielpark94]

as much as i like this car, seein TFL's problems with their defender they purchased already is giving me a bad impression

[@devendragotmare176]

Guys it's not plastic, it's "magnesium", loved your review

[@TheTravisTube]

It actually is powder coated magnesium though, so I’m not sure why the quotes were necessary 🤷‍♂️

[@cautilligab]

We all know the defender is the most effective “OFF ROADER” out of the (bronco and hummer) because it will keep you “off the road” the most time while being at the dealer for repairs! 😂

[@Zdankevych]

The fact that it does not have a novel means that it has a weak body is the strongest body in existing cars without a frame.

15:10 it is for women’s bag 💼

I was just thinking about when are you guys gonna do Defender review yesterday! and here we go!

[@3SBK89]

In Europe we call Land Rover owners mechanics.

It actually is a desert air intake, it says on The builder that it does not increase wading depth
