Not just JLR ..... ? 2011 Timing chain shot at 44k miles? "Hi i am seeing a lot of problem with timing chains , on newer 2010 and newer, plus we are seeing them on Mercedes Benz,BMW,Ford , and we are suspecting that with extended oil changes it is contributing to early failure of timing...

Sounds like Gerry McGovern is butt-hurt on something. Maybe the mid-size crossover Discovery 5 rear end design? :Wow1: If SVO is to be a viable entity they better step up to the challenge. I noticed they applied special paint to the Velar. Really? I would not have claimed that contribution as...

I guess ham usage varies per State. Here in Colorado we have relatively good repeater coverage with cross-linking. A good example is Colorado Connection. Coverage map can be seen here. Topics are rag chew but also road conditions, closures and such, especially when conditions deteriorate...

First, I like the concept of a SVO group that could design and build accessories or standardize interfaces for Land Rover and demonstrate their value. Good move IF that is their mission. As for the Discovery 5 'Hero' I seems a little short on substance, more on style. The radio bay is...

I did find the 4x4 screen useful while climbing Engineer's Pass with our 2011 LR4 with HD. It helped understanding how the drivetrain/diffs were engaging and disengaging as we worked our way up the trail. Helped me judge how much throttle to use and where to back off and let the truck/tires find...

Why would you expect the Discovery 5 to struggle on those metrics?

I would add a Bluesea ACR between the starter and 2nd battery. I run a ACR in the engine compartment of my LR4 and a e-Series switch on the trailer to switch between two batteries on the trailer.

I regularly surf craigslist for Rover parts. The following has been there for a few weeks: Land rover, range rover lr4 motor 400 obo - $400 (Colorado Springs) Know nothing about the seller or motor itself.

That looks interesting. Wisa Plywood No Canadian dealers, one US dealer.

Does anyone make a winch bumper without the bull bars? Prefer the cleaner look but do see an advantage of a winch bumper over a hidden winch tray.

You can purchased just the regulator for $66 as that is what typically goes first. Range Rover Discovery Alternator Voltage Regulator 3.9L/4.2L

As a first approximation, OK. But the world is non-linear and those initial models will be wrong. Applying Mexico's tariff to Britain is extrapolation.

In sciences/engineering, extrapolation is your death knell. The world is not linear and any assumptions you make about trajectories is most likely wrong. In fact in negotiations you are hoping the opponent does extrapolate and make the wrong move.

A "Thought Exercise"? Hmmm, thinking thought wasn't part of this exercise. The border tax of 20% was part of an initial negotiating position to have Mexico pay for the Southern border wall to address illegal immigration. Last I checked LR isn't manufactured in Mexico. Extrapolation to all trade...

Hadnt heard of ATPC. I have never been on a trail where this would be useful. Modulating throttle, gearing and picking the right line always resulted in various speeds to maintain forword progress and minimze wheel spin. Appears LR is increasing wheel spin to serve inexperienced drivers. I can...

In summary a rear locker is only available on the most expensive LR5?

A fully functional corrosion prevention system, not a "leak".

This? The over-center spring that flips the latch assembly one way or the other. If it is broken you have to manually lift the interior lock pin or exterior, turn the key and hold, followed by opening door. A very common issue. Also, the interior rods are threaded so also may need adjustment...

Programming from the keyboard can be a PIA. Get Chirp and autoload your local repeaters by using the Download from Radio, Import from Data Source (select State and County of choice) followed by Upload to Radio under the Radio drop down menu.

Handheld ham vhf/uhf transceivers are not to be handed out to unlicensed friends and children. I pretty much stop watching after that since basic knowledge was lacking.
