I always found that Hammerite Kurust worked well, it seems to 'convert' the rust rather than sit on top of it, meaning that further sanding didn't compromise the surface. https://www.hammerite.co.uk/product/kurust/ Hydrate80 by Bilt Hamber is something I've posted a lot about, I rate anything they make. It seems a more reliable product to stop rust returning and it doesn't even need to be over-painted, but it does go on thick and part of the protection is the seal it makes over the afflicted area. This has a knock-on effect on the quality of the finish as sanding is difficult. https://bilthamber.com/product/hydrate-80/ As for paints, I've been quite surprised by the Simoniz range of spray paints, particulrly the engine enamel and imaginatively-named Tough Paint series. https://www.holtsauto.com/simoniz/products/one-coat-tough-paints/ https://www.holtsauto.com/simoniz/products/engine-enamel/ I can't say any paint has been brilliant though, all have been disappointing in longevity. I only use spray paint, perhaps brush-on is better, but nothing that involves touching the surface matches the quality of finish even from a rattle can.

It doesn't even have holes in it.

Weird, I thought it was the 2.7 that was more prone to this. Definitely true to say you can't oil change your way out of it or drive with a feathery touch, not that the Jag forums understand that.

Have you told her it's a reasonably-priced workhorse for normal, working people? It's so obtainable, not like LR's expensive lifestyle vehicle that's too expensive to use. Though to be fair (if I have to), this isn't specific to Ineos, all new cars are unreasonable now. All part of trying to get us into unservicable debt just to live a standard previously taken for granted. Having now seen one on the road (all black, murdered-out and spotlessly clean in lane 3 of the motorway....) I am working on a 'Grenadier Wave'.

Stating the obvious as if you're the only person it's occured to is something of a Land Rover/Off Road journalist YouTuber trademark. Most of them are pure wind without valid ideas.

I enjoyed the comment responding to "not sure of the execution" - at least it will be a public execution. There's something about not having some kind of swing-up pole with a screw ajdustment to meet the bottom of the lift, or another way of providing a failsafe against it coming back down that makes me uncomfortalble.

Never. It's bad enough it's still noticeable, I don't think to the point you'd think it's open but bad enough. I don't understand how it doesn't sit flush. And no, the bushes aren't the wrong way around.

Having not seen a single one until now, today I saw two of Big Jimbo's creations in the flesh at an air show. One in the car park and another on its own stand.

I get exactly why you say this, but Audi (for example) is a brand based 85% on badge value and the engineering of the 15% of their cars very few people can afford to buy so it's not exclusive to JLR or even unusual in the least.

Did they check if these mechanics weren't listening to the Screamo or the Dubsteps at full blast while wearing these headphones?

I'd be surprised if the noise cancelling ones were dangerous, given they are used widely in shooting as Doug says. In itself, that's an incredible feat given the reaction times.

Even I don't agree with everything I say all of the time.

If nothing else, they missed out on the opportunity to say the listing was a bit hasty. And I have just learnt I am a new member of the W*LF W*nker club, having just migrated from the S*wtooth Sh*thead gang.

This might be the most accurate piece of information ever posted on this forum.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295840349179 I don't know about cheap, but it meets the first part of the thread title. Can't make it do the fancy link preview thing. It's a series 1.

So not really what you're asking for but I've found a good set of noise cancelling headphones work better than my actual ear defenders. They have the added benefit that you can use them for other household things and not look too weird. The downside is the price, the upside is the quality of the music.

I feel like the danger symbol at least validates my (unecessary) concern! I should have guessed there would be a solution.

I might be missing something, or the answer might be "don't electrocute yourself" but isn't that capacitor bank a bit of a significant emotional event waiting to happen? Or is there an easy off switch I'm not seeing? It won't help, but the cheapness, availability and simplicity of GPS/GSM/5G/WIFI jamming devices has even base level thieves operating on the level of serious organised criminals. In my view, trackers are a less valuable security layer than they once were and the major deterrent is to increase the risk of being detected mid-crime.

Must be difficult being so emotionally effected by a vehicle that you need to put a negative statement on your own car to try to make people feel bad about their choices. They now have the brand name they hate so much on the tailgate of their car in bigger letters than the manufacturer badge. And it's misspelt.

If I'm not mistaken....

I think it was mentioned before several hundred pages ago, but what is the underside of the engine bay like? That is one hell of a seal under the bonnet, I'm just wondering if the underside is closed in as well, otherwise I don't really understand what it's keeping out.

I have a feeling if you built the wall, that wouldn't be a problem.

This thing has infinity symbols where there should be numbers for approach and departure angles. Is it possible it could climb vertical walls?

Edit: nevermind
