Im now wondering if I should read the whole thread or just float on by 🤣 🤣

You have put up here what I was thinking all along as I have only just come to this thread. LPG is very well supported in France, which he'll be driving through at 130 kph, I assume. And I was also wondering how these cars are built if the diff...

Fit bigger wheels & tyres and a lpg kit, instant rpm reduced/cheaper fuel. Change axle diffs what about the centre diff ratio as they dont match the transfer box, so what happens when you need to go faster eg up hill when you need higher...

Weight makes a big difference to economy. You’d save fuel by not being so full of ****

Errm, most people get a bit tetchy when they can support there arguments with experience. Some of us can😍, some use pictures to support theirs without real hands on stuff. In fact they can fûck right off🤷😂 God do I get so fed up telling people...

Engines need revs to blow the coke out of the system.

You're always gonna get comment (some good, some bad & some scarcastic) on this forum, but often good info based on extensive knowledge & experience. If we assume the engine uses more fuel when it working harder (regardless of revs) & producing...

Usually later in the revs range. Most petrol on turbos are at there best around 3k through to 5k revs. Motor depending also and if there are camshaft timing devices that shift torque points😵🫣 How bloody complicated does it need to be😂

peak torque is to be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_(L322)

Quite, the key to less strain on the engine and better fuel consumption is to drive at peak torque, or slower, as you say labouring is not clever at all.

Pulling a higher gear may actually impose more stress on the engine. a wider throttle opening needed to maintain speed, thus higher compression pressures. A lighter load and higher revs does no harm. The 2.76 diffs you say went with the 8 speed...

What a faff! It has taken us until now to book 4 flights with Ryan flipping air. Still tis done now. (Flights back from Bornemuff are at insane o'clock in the a.m. ) She has to go in once for preop assessment, then again about 2 weeks later for...

The big noos today is that W has been rung up with an appt to go back into hospicle for them to do the job properly this time. Only thing is she needs to go in for a "preassessment" a fortnight earlier. So she is pleased but all of a tiz-woz...

For some reason this came into my head..... My mate sold a boat & trailer to a lad who came via the ferry as a foot passenger, he told my mate to launch the boat with the trailer ratchet strapped onto it & off he went 🤣 🤣

I had one of those but it sank first time out :oops:

Im clearing out my shed well more like a barn than a shed. Sold my running machine & rowing machine. Got a big multigym to go plus a load of wood working tools all 240v bobbin sander bench grinders pillar drills, scroll saw plus a couple of older...

We got sunshine :p:p so there 🤣🤣

Found it. Memory not so bad after all :cool: https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax/passing-on-home

I did look into this a couple of years ago for me n 'er indoors. Can't remember the exact details, regarding joint estates and tax which may need to be paid. I think as a married couple each has an upper limit and then inheritance tax has to be...

I am happy to say that Wifey & I visited the banks we could not get to acknowledge her existence today and all accounts are in the process of being closed. The most difficult one was TSB (who WE bank with) and so we went through a whole...

Mines due to diet and not enough liquids, had two stones in the eighties, should have learned from that

Should not take that long. I was seeing the urologists more or less in two hours. I was on a drip and a suppositories pain killer by a nurse. Normally a ammonia smell for higher levels of uric acid can be a sign of kidney problems. Calcium levels...

Just the pain, vomiting at home but that was due to pain. Still in a+e waiting for docs descision to admit I was right 😀

Glad to oblige :vb-jester2::vb-party2:
