    Even the LPG is >€0.8/litre at the moment. It's ridiculous.
  2. elbekko
    Wroks fine for me.

    If it's swarf from machining the ally block, that's not going to be much use...
  4. elbekko
    Maybe still some swarf in an oil passage? Might be worth trying to blow through stuff with compressed air.

    ... have you read anything Nige has written?
  7. elbekko
    Exactly my thought! Not sure about the dual shark fins though. The one I configured is 21" rims, smallest available...
  8. elbekko
    Exactly. It doesn't need to be full of dem anglez like the Japanese stuff. I tried a configuration, €144k https://build.landrover/A2EE5063 And that's without being able to select the PHEV option, so probably closer to €160k if Harry is to be believed... Does look rather smart in green though: Maybe in a few years when they're selling second-hand for €30k...

    RAVE should have a bunch of detail on that.

    https://www.pistonheads.com/news/rangerover/2022-audi-rs3-sportback-ph-review/44848 Not sure why the link text is about an Audi, but the article is definitely about the Range Rover. Still not a fan of the back, tye rest looks nice. PHEV and BEV options with low emissions, which is nice tax-wise. But only 2500kg towing for the PHEV... pretty sad.

    The float being launched and causing overfuelling. Shouldn't be too much effect as it'll only be momentary, but still.

    I'd be more worried about a carb cutting out when taking hits than EFI.
  13. elbekko
    It probably is that. I think the easy fix would be to have someone in the UK register it as a regular vehicle first, and then buy it?
  14. elbekko
    Did they decide to try and outdo the ugliness of the D5 with that rear end? Good god.
  15. elbekko
    Yes, that should be correct. I think the owner's manual even mentions it in the EKA section?
  16. elbekko
    I doubt it. I did the research in here a few pages back, even with the slight extra mass for the batteries it doesn't come close to max train weight with a 3.5T trailer. And I very much doubt those 250kg are going to make the difference to brakes and such considering a Series is allowed to tow 3.5T as well. At that weight the braking comes from the trailer anyway.
  17. elbekko
    I don't really get how this applies to the Defender PHEV. The difference between 3000kg and 3500kg isn't going to make the battery last all that much longer. Advertise that the vehicle is capable of towing, but with the caveat that it can only do it with the engine on, and nobody would care.
  18. elbekko
    Yes, the PHEV is the logical way to go. If only they'd managed to get a proper economical tune in it, so it'd be below 50g CO² here. That's a dealbreaker for taxes. And the 3T towing I still find silly too. It's not train weight related, so... the motor can't handle it? What?
  19. elbekko
    At least now you can park a tank in your workshop without a worry.
  20. elbekko
    Huh, on my rebuild I checked them all, and none needed filing, they were all exactly in spec. Might depend on supplier...
  21. elbekko
    Ah, the P38 at 108" is out as well then
  22. elbekko
    Oh, now that is interesting! I'll have to have a play with that next time I'm out in the P38. Edit: Err, except for the €99 price tag...
  23. elbekko
    I could be convinced...
  24. elbekko
    £8000 for what is essentially scrap? Holy hell some people have guts.
  25. elbekko
    If it weren't for this thread I wouldn't have known about it until I was queuing for a petrol station in the UK, so I'm quite happy it was discussed In the end managed (by accident) to find a calm fuel station just outside Exeter where I popped in £30 making it a comfortable trip instead of actually using start/stop and not driving in sport mode all the time
