That mix is the Defender's blessing and its curse.

Body details — dash and bulkhead pressings, fender tops, door construction, seat boxes and floor assemblies — changed at each step, so Defender panels are usually listed as Tdi, Td5 or Td4\/Puma specific.

That mix is the Defender's blessing and its curse.
