analogue dials with central tft display defender supplier

One local buyer who ordered a Land Rover Defender 110 recently received an email from the car-maker saying that “certain options and standard features that were previously available have been removed from production until further notice”.

As a result, the vehicle in question, which was said to have been “in the final stages of build”, has had its 12.3-inch interactive driver display (digital instrument panel) replaced with a regular cluster with analogue dials and a TFT display.

That means a smaller 7.0-inch screen, no ability to hide the dials from view or configurate the instrument panel to provide a more personalised layout.

Matrix LED headlights also specified on the customer’s car were replaced with less sophisticated but still “premium” LED headlights that include high beam assist.

The figures provided are as a result of official manufacturer’s tests in accordance with EU legislation. For comparison purposes only. Real world figures may differ. CO2 and fuel economy figures may vary according to wheel fitment and optional extras fitted. The fuel consumption and CO2 figures under the old passenger car test, NEDC, will still be used by the Government until at least 2020 for tax treatment of passenger cars. NEDC Equivalent (NEDCeq) are figures calculated using a Government formula from WLTP figures equivalent to what they would have been under the old NEDC test. The correct tax treatment can then be applied.
