True but a few things that count against that for me, I don't have a roof rack and its household items that will need to be kept dry. I have a 2800km return and security is important, hence locked inside the hippo.

You read my mind @Freddie17, but I was just probably being too cautious and overthinking it all.

Yes and I agree, but I need every single cubic inch I can get. Thanks 🙏🏻

Thanks @Arctic2 and @Freddie, I had them folded down last year when moving from Austria to Hungary, then back to France. I felt I would have a “flatter” and larger space but your comments have been helpful. I’m pondering on it all now 🤔.

I shall be travelling to Hungary from NW France to collect a lot of household items. I am planning on removing the rear seats to make better use of the load space. Is there a floor reinforcement panel in the commercial variant to distribute loads or is the floor robust in the 5 door Hippo...

Which disk manufacturer @kernowsvenski and can you feel a difference?

Here are the measurements of the chip by vernier caliper.

Exactly that, but I would want to do it privately for OUR community here. Let's park it until the autumn and I'll post an invitation for serial numbers and lock codes to evaluate, once I have checked out my setup as I get back to speed. From memory, I remember solving 27 simultaneous equations...

It could be as straightforward 😬 as solving a simultaneous equation with N unknowns. How many serial numbers and codes do you have @andyfreelandy? I am waiting to sign off to get my house/workshop/computing facilities back but I would give your data a spin to see if there is an algorithm I can...

I shall update you with the exact dimensions next week when I arrive home. 👍🏻

completed 1640 km in 2 days. I am going to double check tomorrow but I have close to 18km/l (51 mpg)!!! I wondered if the silicon oil would help reduce engine friction but that number if it checks out tomorrow night will be incredible. EDIT: 823km and 52.49 litres = 44.3 mpg (at largely 110...

I think my key is a recut from a blank, but how it is in a LR holder intrigues me. I do have a chip in mine. 2005 Facelift.

My 1st gear switch connector hadn’t been fully pushed home, probably because of a small piece of grit. Cleaned it all and like you, voila! HDC works perfectly.

Fixed the HDC (thanks for your recent pic' postings @andyfreelandy - super helpful) and am now ready for my first big trip this year. Dodgy connector!! This will fix other wet weather problems seen via pscan and showing up in the display. I expect to cover 2500 miles in the next week from...

Hi @freelounger, did you sort your HDC out? I'm interested to know what you found, 1st gear switch or wiring?

I just looked at my key and it has "Valeo" engraved on it. Were they the OEM supplier?

And so I know too now where 1st is... I may have a problem with that switch not allowing HDC to engage forwards.

@andyfreelandy thanks for the pics! Question please; which gearbox switch is that highlighted in my grab of your picture ? First or reverse? Thanks in advance.

OK, I found the following installation reference document HERE. Very disappointed by the supplier that they do not have an English equivalent guide (only available in German 🤬). Just in case someone else needs the document in the future, I have attached the PDF and also my English translation...
