Might be worth looking into the "doubler" boxes the Americans like using?

Let's hope he approaches it with more intelligence than the TFL guys, they couldn't stop whining about how they're too stupid to understand how lockers work.

Very interesting! So that means they're going for 4 individual motors instead of the more common 2-motor setup?

That'll work very, very well!

@Escape's triple axle tiltbed Ifor is about 800-850kg empty. Probably a good chunk less now without that tailgate. So definitely plenty of capacity left. If you can transport a D3, you can transport an empty container... Center of gravity is probably the biggest issue, but also not a huge issue I would think.

The Td5 speedo just takes a pulse input, right? Would it be an option to use a sensor mounted to a driveshaft and translate that to the required input? Or grab it from the ABS sensors/ECU, if you have it?

That's some impressive damage! Good to know that the XC90 handles the wading well. A lot of modern SUVs seem to be rated for deep wading, my GLE even states it as 50-60cm depending on options selected. With a nice bow wave you'll probably get away with more, as long as you don't float away.

Cunning. Looks like you can just swap out the ID in the URL and get a bunch of different models: https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/hierarchy/id/30/brand/land-rover/ (Velar) https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/hierarchy/id/25/brand/land-rover/ (L405)

Can I at least try to?

I don't see why it would be an issue other than a bit of wind resistance. As long as it doesn't hang over too much, all good.

No, that looks like an MLS gasket, shouldn't need anything extra.

Stephen down south to portal all the things?

Be a bit careful with knock-off FTDI stuff. As I recall using the official drivers with a non-official chip will brick said chip, not sure if that's still the case.

Looks like the same sort of adapter you need for the EAS cable. I did a writeup of that here, includes a link to the adapter on Digikey. But the one you linked is probably the same ish.
