Other Reliability

We now have perfect conditions for Range Rover ownership. Nobody allowed out, a parked Range Rover is, mostly, a reliable Range Rover unless there is a battery drain

Spontaneous combustion?

Absolutely right! Land Rovers in Lockdown are hard to beat for reliability.

I'm going to sneak to the garage for diesel and then I'm going into the forest to do a touch of 4x4ing for a break from the house and bloody gardening... Mind you, I've finished a client's car today.

our bus is more reliable than my plastic volvo

Now I have nowhere to go it has stopped working (partially my fault but it needs doing).
Sort of the antithesis of regular P38s but she has been good for some time.

Can bus errors that only show up once or twice a year.. Fuse box resoldered, abs module resoldered and relays changed as well. It'll cut out with no power, guages and throttle... Then as if by computer magic... All good.

I can't trace à thing

Illustrates the stupidity of the CAN bus system. The designers probably came from the same uni back ground as the JLR lot

I bet Apollo systems didn't use CAN bus

What's a battery drain?
