Depends on the subject/agenda. BBC can be very biased with false reporting and omission of information.

Appears the agents should have spent a little more time knowing the case details. Hide Your Keys: Feds Crack Down on Illegally Imported Land Rovers .........Sadly, while the rest of the world enjoyed an abundance of Defenders, the United States outlawed the vehicle in 1997 due to safety...

CNN has become a non-factor

..............The state of today's journalism

Satellite Communications Wide Open To Hackers "Satellite terminals widely used in transportation, military, and industrial plants contain backdoors, hardcoded credentials, weak encryption algorithms, and other design flaws, a new report says......."

Iridium network. Wifi is insecure

Iridium network

Even at low bandwidth, security is an issue for a range of applications. What is the crypto capabilities or is it the same as iPhone/Android?

Your right. Was thinking BMW 4.4l

20% more torque @ 12% lower rpm for the Jag V8 is the difference. Nothing like displacement for basically an air pump.

Load range E should be required for the LR3/4. Thinking the factory spec is too low, resulting in accelerated tire wear.

Welcome! A 87 to 89 are some of the best years. Plenty of "advice" here. Sons have 87 and 89. Me? 95. What's under the truck? :coffeedrink:

Agreed. I actually think that troubleshooting/isolation/replacement of ECU's/subsystems will become easier as intelligence increases and more tools like IIDTool emerge. The Automotive Market is a Mirage for Traditional Chip Makers "..........But with the forthcoming tools from mobile vendors...

One of the dangers the auto industry will face is the well known commoditization trajectory of technology. Take smartphones. They are virtually dead as a growth market. Everyone has one and they all have the same features/gismos/apps. Today the service providers are giving away Galaxy S5's...

Hmmmmm ............. Denver hey? The achilles heal of the Discovery I (95-99)/II was the Buick aluminum block engine. Head gaskets were a common problem. If overheated, slipped liners. Many owners are clueless idiots who drive a vehicle until it leaves then on the side of the road and they...

Suspect you are at the knee of the curve, in this case the knee of the Whnter 45 qt fridge operational spec. Per their web page that frig requires 4.5amps at 12VDC. A cigarette lighter is fragile, made for occasional use. The internals are spring loaded and only intended to continuously carry no...

Thanks for the vid! Deep snow can be a LOT of work. At least you now have a reference point for the LR3 and can judge your planned changes. In fact, depending on your schedule, you might have that opportunity over the next several weeks in your area...

But ........... was DSC on? ............... :sombrero:

................. With all "control systems" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_engineering ), ignore the owners manual at your own risk.

Dynamic Stability Control will sense wheel spin and steering angle, attempting to keep the vehicle "stable" with braking and reduced engine torque. That means when the LR3 started spinning its wheels in the snow, and you attempted to correct direction, TC applied brakes and reduced torque. Works...
