Better to use excess wind and solar energy to make hydrogen to store for peak electricity demand times, burning the hydogen in power stations to produce more electricity.

Yes it is a cleaner fuel ,zero carbon when burnt or passed through a fuel cell only emissions are water. However to actually get the hydrogen uses electricity in the cleanest process and where does that come from? The other means of getting it is from methane which is alot dirtier and also...

I quote: 'The hydrogen produced has to be compressed, chilled and transported to the hydrogen station, a process that is around 90% efficient. Once inside the vehicle, the hydrogen needs converted into electricity, which is 60% efficient. Finally the electricity used in the motor to move the...

only at source , what? The whole process from generation, transport and use of hydrogen is no where near as efficient in energy conversion as the direct use of electricity in EV's, end of

No , never been unable to charge. As for hydrogen, where do you think that comes from? Its made from electrolysis and as its nowhere near as efficient a process from start to finish, you need alot more electricity than directly charging ev batteries. So you need more power stations, windmills...

We dont have any more coal fired stations in normal operation

Ive never struggled to find one for my tesla however Im sure that when petrol vehicles became popular, there weren't enough petrol stations around at some point. Far easier to install a few charge points on the street than to equip all petrol stations with hydrogen tanks. Then there's the...

I wondered that but after looking on other threads, most seem to think that the TD5 doesnt need them? or is that crap?

Hi all, Ive got an issue on starting, used to be on the button with no hint of smoke, then it would take 3 trys to start, run rough for about 5 seconds then normal. During this period it would blow greyish smoke. Changed the fuel filter and air bleed valve, also fitted the LP return pipe non...

What I've found out by experience is that with the kit, if the ball cage breaks up on the selection yoke, the ball falls into the box and you are stranded. Without the kit, the ball stays put and you just get a very stiff change, at most you lose 1st gear

Duh, no inspection plate on the main box. Drained the oil, no bits came out. Had a fish around from the top ,found the ball, cage and clip! Must remember to put a lottery ticket on! Part of the cage was missing and the rest of the cage chewed up. I fitted the slick shift mod when I changed it...

Hi all, Just lost all gears apart from 4th, gear lever all wobbly. Took the top off the box and the ball and plastic cage off the end of the gear lever were nowhere to be seen. Happened to me about 6 months ago but then the ball was still in the selector, just the plastic cage and metal clip had...

I'm still at a total loss why you would think that low fuel pressure would throw a driver demand high fault. There is absolutely no correlation between fuel pressure and pedal position so why would the ECU link the two? It doesn't even know what the fuel pressure is!

Only if you are getting overboost faults at the same time. Think the ECU wasn't expecting that level of boost at that throttle position so declared that either could be at fault. I think that driver demand high on it's own cant be a MAP sensor fault

Why would I need to check my wiring? The map sensor change made all of the errors disappear, 3 days now free of any fault messages

Read the first post: 'the other 2 only appear on a longer run. I've changed the throttle pot but no change, ' It pays to read the thread before commenting

Before anyone goes around punching the air, I changed the MAP in the first instance but still got the 3 faults. It was only when I got the hawkeye that something with the reading wasn't quite right and I suspected that the so called LandRover original part was toast. Who would have thought I'd...

Changed the MAP for the expensive Bosch one and all faults gone including the pedal sensor fault! Totally a different car now

I'm starting to think that way however with the fuel pump part, why would that trigger low driver demand 1? Thought that was a direct reading off the throttle position sensor track 1? As far as I know there isnt a fuel pressure sensor, only a fuel temperature sensor?????
