Recall these are two stage airbags, and they're crosslinked to the corners. On my D5, they don't relax to the bump stops in access height - I can push a button in the rear cargo area and lower the rear suspension another ~2 inches. That appears to get to the bump stops - the tops of my tires...

To be fair, nothing was broken as far as they could tell. Suspension fault cleared, low coolant cleared. I've had low coolant warnings in cold weather in many cars...usually because they're *just* at or just above the "cold min" level - a few ounces to bring them up to "cold max" usually...

I like the Td6 for its seemingly bottomless (topless? :cool::ROFLMAO:) torque, but have always felt 300hp would serve its heft better.

Unless I'm in a hurry, I usually wait for the cold idle speed to settle down, by then all the stuff has booted up. But until LG and Blackberry and a select few others recently, infotainment and vehicle control system back end hardware wasn't made by companies that specialize in mobile...

Likewise, but it's unlikely we'll see them here in the US and A.

Yet more accessories from the aftermarket...better looking than the side mounted ladder:

? You're welcome! ?

Like which ones?

Yes it does have CANBUS, all production cars today do. But does it have cameras on all sides that can be used for real time driving information other than just backing up, does it have things like lane keep assist and city driving features with radars and more cameras, does it have autonomous...

Not necessarily. Missing a handshake or a heartbeat that results in a false alarm isn't always indicative of an electrical fault either. Service busses get clogged with messages, especially on startup - CAN is a priority/hierarchy based system, it is serial and it is synchronous, and it has...

No, but many times trouble codes aren't indicators of actual trouble, and some patience is warranted. In the satellite world we call that a "single event upset" which means we have no clue what happened (a diagnosis-by-default after eliminating all other causes), but we power cycled the module...

I literally did a facepalm. But, the old TIO/TIBO did the trick. But this is a case in point as to why modern upmarket vehicles almost universally get poor reliability ratings - many ponytailed soccer moms or weekend warrior dads would stop right there, dial up the Land Rover dealer, and...

No way, you can't lift it and the gravitonium thrusters are terrible for rock crawling.

Audi's AWD system, and Porsche's, and BMW's, and Merc's (save the G-Wagen), are all performance-focused systems designed for on-road handling. Same with Subie's DCCD in the WRX STi, which they fitted only for homolgation purposes, though one could argue that for a rally-inspired vehicle there...

Is it a weak point on vehicles that have a button you push "on demand" to enable 4WD? Why do we actually *need* full time 4WD on a dry road in daily driving? I could argue turning a part of the drivetrain that isn't needed simply wears parts faster, shortening the life of the unnecessary...

Read his link again. Carefully.

Read your link again. LR is most definitely NOT moving to FWD for fuel economy. What is happening is that now the FRONT axles can be fully disconnected when driving on dry roads, making it RWD just like a Jeep Wrangler or any number of old school 4WD vehicles. The difference is, you no...

As he said, if you want a farm implement to haul hay bales and (dead) sheep, yes. Since Land Rover hasn't made farm implements in decades - even the last generation of Defender at the end of its life was far more upmarket than the Series I machines and pre-Defender-named 90/110/130 models into...

Meanwhile, in Zuid Afrika, Kingsley Holgate is expeditioning their two new Defenders without incident, whereas their old Defenders have required repairs in the field.

I live in Briargate, all the ones I've seen were on the North end of town including a Pangaea Green one on USAFA Friday and a blacked out one with full Adventure Pack I've seen a couple times off Voyager. I don't count any I see off Nevada or around Motor City without plates as those are...
