Funny you should mention that. This one appears to have a wonky wishbone bush after only 1550 miles...
....despite what LR said, I have always believed that it is the same car except the engine and interior trim, I don´t know why you are surprised lost in translation!

Yes, apart from the engine, gearbox, electronic systems, steering, suspension, CANBUS architecture, turbos, interior trim, infotainment, brakes, cooling systems and a few body panels they are identical.

The odd clunk while hitting a bump on approx 90 degree steering lock, as well as the clunk while dabbing the brake pedal
Sounds like mine. Mechanic came out with me and it gave a clunk/creak as I reversed out the parking bay and again going round the roundabout. It was only supposed to be in for a test drive with a mechanic but they took it into the workshop, then two mechanics went out in it. It was in for 3 hours, they are satisfied that something is amiss and they want a week to spend with it.
I may add the slamming shut of the tailgate, it's only done 307 miles in 4 weeks I've owned it, but absolutely love it nonetheless.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Funny you should also mention that. It took 3 attempts to close the upper tailgate, with a hefty shove on the 3rd go to get it to latch
In comparison, my 2005 car will latch just with the weight of itself pulling it downMy D3 Build Thread
