Indeed, it’s not that simple. Due to rural and family commitments, I complete numerous miles each and everyday, and I assume there are many like me. I am not arguing that electric vehicles should not be the future, however I fundamentally believe that the infrastructure is 20 years plus away...

Am I correct in assuming it’s just a case of draining the system and replacing the hose then refilling it and bleeding the air out? Thanks

Thats simply not true, my main drive has had nothing but problems with the batteries and has been on a recall and not in a position to fully charge since October - Thats a car thats just months old. The biggest problem I find, is the time it takes to charge, particularly when using the...

While awaiting delivery of the new set of hoses and straight through connecter, I thought I would scan the whole engine bay making notes of what needs to be done. Apart from what must be a small leak around the power steering reservoir (although I don't seem to be losing any fluid) everything...

Not mine, but an example of Arles Blueh

To me it looks lie a fresh coat of Land Rover Arles Blue LRC424. I remember mine came out much darker than the original. Yours just looks like a badly prepped job and top coated with ready mixed Arles Blue without cutting it back. Get a small can made up and give it a test.

I regularly refer to them. I wonder if anyone knows who the chap is, he’s saved me plenty times!!

They got it spot on first time with the Defender as they did with the Series.

I couldn’t agree more.

I can appreciate that view, particularly in the future, but at this present time it doesn’t make sense as the infrastructure is insufficient, nor does it make financial sense at £20k plus. I do understand the emotional pull however, but do not feel an EV conversion is necessary at this moment in...

Hippo I think this is the reason.

That sweetly be a common theme. Thank

Quite frankly, I have been hugely disappointed with my Hybrid. I received the car brand new from BMW in August and by October a recall had been placed on all models due to an issue with batteries and charging. Owners and drivers are not permitted to charge their vehicles until a solution can be...

This is a great one, I used this before attempting mine.

Hopefully you managed to sort things out and it passed.

I find this says sums up the situation perfectly.

Tbf, I thought the front ends were ugly.

Whatever happened to the Santana ‘Defender’? They look very much like the INEOS Grenadier.

Tbf... I struggle to get to one end of Northumberland to other without developing an issue in the Landy. However referring to the OP, go for it, embrace it and make new memories. I frequently relive memories of time spent with my dad on our little adventures, nothing as grand as yours, but they...
