    MY 24

    Does anyone know if the MY24 now have a locking fuel filler?. I understand that My 24 Defender does.

    Is it not lockable on earlier versions?

    I could swear mine is lockable (MY2017)

    Mine is not lockable and only 1 wing mirror dims down at night. All because of the "chip shortage" according to the original stealer salesperson I spoke to, also then told me the sunglasses holder was no longer an option 🤷

    My 2023 model doesn't have a locking filler flap.

    A locking fuel filler cap can be purchased from this firm for £22.99 https://www.petrolcaps.co.uk/

    Jeez, can't believe they've dropped a locking fuel flap. My 19 definitely has that, will be dischuffed if new one doesn't. Been on every car I've had in the last twenty years...

    They dropped it from the new Range Rover and Sports too...

    Rear exit monitor vanished too on MY23.5 along with some USB's that should have been type C becoming type A, and other just becoming blanking plates.

    I have seen a YouTube video on Powerful showing a fuel flap on a defender not locking and they were trying to retro fit one.
    I wonder if the electrics are there and it just needs the solenoid fitting to make it lockable.
    My have a look behind the panel to see if this is possible.

    That's good news LR actually adding something instead of reducing spec.

    Yes, but mine doesn't have a Landrover badge on tailgate anymore, still LR on rear doors, radiator grille and wheel centres.
