    Does your pedal "skip" when braking over bumps?

    Yep mine does this; makes a buzzing noise, brake pedal vibrates & feels like it's running-on further than the brake-pedal force normally allows.... In my case it's the ABS cutting in & the ABS light on the dash comes on to verify. I'd prefer non-ABS because of this (my BMW did the same thing...

    Diesel or PHEV

    The only phevs I see are annoyingly doing ~25 mph to keep it on the battery power as long as possible (not long). Do all phevs auto-switch from EV to ICE above 25mph?

    Defender restoration

    The 4-speed auto-box on my 2001 Disco2 TD5 is lovely; plenty of power for me. A bit noisy when cold maybe, and at slow-traffic-shuffling speeds...but thats the engine/exhaust, not the gearbox. Cruises quietly at 60 & 70mph pulling like a train at 2250 and 2500rpm respectively, checked that...

    Discovery 2 TD5 2003 ES Black

    Hmm, when it's co2 is 284g/km and tax group K ... I don't think its legal to claim it's in the "best" euro6 emissions class and eco-friendly... no excuse that it's what the AI suggested = example why we should not trust AI... :vb-groan2:

    I believe the key rule to get onto the "for sale" section is you need 50 posts contributing to the forum which demonstrate you're Not just here to sell stuff, even if it's stuff some of us really want (as long as it's cheap) You're also meant to introduce yourself on the "introductions"...

    Range Rover Hybrid - replace batteries with alternator?

    I can imagine that the future 2nd-hand car market will be full of dead hybrid batteries and/or controller issues. No wonder there are stories of dealers not wanting to take them in part exchange...

    EVOQUE YES or NO

    My 1975 mk3 Cortina had typically useless 1970's locks, which Ford could not be bothered to improve. After a theft attempt in 1979 I fitted deadlocks to the front doors; sent a bolt through the bottom of the door pillar. These worked perfectly and successfully thwarted the scrotes subsequent...

    EVOQUE YES or NO

    Just to be clear - I was poking fun at the technology via references to the Terminator's SkyNet A.I. system... Forgot this is an international forum with participants who may not be aware of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film series... My apologies but...:cool: I'll be Back !

    EVOQUE YES or NO

    Best to use the satellite internet system Lets call that.... SkyNet ... That will rarely go down and if it does, it will be self-repairing, so AI will be back :cool:
