    Help!! Severe lack of power FL2 TD4

    Yup, sounds like you need to fix that. While you're waiting for someone who knows what they're talking about, pop over to the "Introduce Yourself" section... And maybe post a picture or two of the offending item, below...?

    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?

    Discovery 2 TD5 2003 ES Black

    still says "eco-friendly"... (?) I'd like to claim this for mine too, but somehow doesn't seem correct :vb-confused2:

    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...

    Defender - 2002 - engine noise

    Lawnmower exhaust is the loudest bit - check exhaust for a crack or hole ?

    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:

    EVOQUE YES or NO

    Maybe it would be good to have that new AI system take charge of car security, all linked by the internet - with countermeasures available for defense purposes... could call it - CarNet... ???

    EVOQUE YES or NO

    youtube's Lockpicking Lawyer proves that an expert can undo any doorlock or padlock within a minute or so with no damage. Keyless car locks clearly can be opened in seconds, with no expertise, other than a thief wielding dodgy tools. Biometrics / face-recognition / fingerprint / keypad codes...

    EVOQUE YES or NO

    My mate has a 2016 petrol Evoque auto & likes it - main surprise was when he took it to the local landrover specialist, they said his was the first petrol one they'd seen.... o_O
