Calculating your mpg in coolant is the worsterest.

Think outside, no box required.
Found some time so pulled the passenger side heater blower out a few days ago the output from the heater was feeble and the outdoor temperature was shown as 30 degrees when it was at least 6. Passenger side blower wasn't working so the hotter air from the fan was being blown out the duct onto the external temperature sensor. Putting it onto recirculate improved things but it still wasn't good. Oddly, no book symbol or faults shown. upon removing the fan brushes were well worn so . Unsoldered the old brushes and soldered the new one in place. Running it from a variable current, it didn't seem to be running that smoothly and sparks could be seen from one of the brushes. Figuring the commutator was a bit dirty and the brush just needed to bed in a bit, gave it a squirt of contact cleaner. Not a good idea as it appears contact cleaner is flammable lol and the sparks ignited it. So there's me holding a motor spinning at quite a rate with flames coming out of it. So, after recovering it from under the car where it had ended up after I'd dropped it, had a closer look. Commutator was burnt in one place so not all poles were working, Fortunately I had another motor with completely worn out brushes so swapped them over and this one ran much smoother. Then pulled the drivers blower, checked that, fitted new brushes and job done. So strong fans now!
Far better than the trickle of air I got before!

Yep,
As I suspected it was the TCS, ( rotary gear knob) to us norms...it comes as a modular unit .
So if your gear knob will not change gear, and does not slide down, it might even try a few times and fail, into its home position then it might be this.
Apparently it costs 579 Quid to diagnose, buy and fit.

I used the GAP IID to diagnose the issue, but due to LR warranty it had to go back to them to diagnose and fix.
Seems the part number is the same for the later L322 and the D4 models.
Second time of using the warranty for its sake , I reckon both times I could have fixed it for a lot less ( than the warranty cost I did not have to pay) using new or second hand parts. But it is there at the moment just in case. Bearing in mind when I took it out I was expectiing to do 25K a year.

That's a lot of miles. What are you doing? Not computers?

I know how to turn a computer on, thats about it.
Daily commute to the orifice is 80 miles.

@Grrrrrr , Oohh we got out when it was allowed. Had a few trips cancelled at the last minute due to lockdowns / plus no non essential travel bans etc.
Kept to SD / rules and all that , plus for GL max 6 persons. So a few GL trips when the powers that be said it was OK, plus a couple of days / weekends on private P&P sites.
But still nowhere near as busy as a normal Year.

The noise from my engine is not water pump or tensioner. Seems to be top end. And there's a vibration. Seems to be missing every now and again.It had vibrated so much it had actually shaken the inlet manifold nuts loose.
