The Defender HD8 Base has been de-specced from the standard HD8 DPS, which means no dynamic power steering, rear-open differential or Visco lock front differential.
All Defenders sold in Australia and New Zealand have a speed-limiting work key which limits top speed to 40km/h without reducing the torque available.
