Devil Red Grenadier - Perth Western Australia

[MrMike]

Hi Guys

New Member - New Owner but long time Defender owner (110 TD5)

Been waiting a week or 2 for our Devil Red Fieldmaster with some nice options to be ready (well more the finance) and finally took delivery today.

Its ex Demo - 6000odd km and the colour is stunning - really suits the car with the black alloys and black chequer plate.

Still finding my way around it - already getting niggled by a high pressure warning on the TPMS that wont reset... but thats half the fun - learning what is what.

Ive been reading the forums pretty avidly for a week or so so I have some 'plans' for the vehicle.... nothing major just roof rack, lights, UHF etc.. as it will mainly be used for towing (boat) and mild tracks. Looking at a caravan also so maybe for towing that too

Heres a few pics and i'm sure i'll post more as I get things done...

That is the second one in WA, there was one around the South West at Christmas, stunning colour I think it the same as my chassis

Ooo do you have the black with red chassis version? They have one in the Perth dealership... But I vowed I'd never have a black car again (the Kia carnival we have is sparkly black)

Good to know I'm not the only person in WA with good taste

Throttle controller is something i'm looking at.. as i discovered with a very heavy boot - the thing actually gets up and boogies quite well - the throttle mapping reminds me more of my defender in low range... very long travel to minimise shaky inputs from the foot. As the defender is remapped, hybrid turbo and allard intercooled it needed it too

I waited a long time to fit mine (Ultimate 9), I should have done it earlier. It gets rid of the flat spot in the diesel model when starting off from stationary. I just leave it on the Factory setting, which is more responsive than the INEOS factory setting but it gets rid of that flat spot (about 90% of it).

You can still have a bit of a flat spot if starting on an incline up a hill.
