Re: EV Thread
You're right, Rich - it's a vehicle which lends itself to adventures which is a bit spoiled by not being able to go more than 125 miles from home into the wilderness. 250 mile range is probably optimistic anyway; if you can use say 74kWh of the 77kWh battery and take my best efficiency of 3.1mi/kWh...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Just passed 10k in the Kuga, averaged 81.7 MPG overall since I've had it, no creaks, rattles or issues, it's been a superb car, I'd certainly recommend one as a family car. Massive boot, loads of space in the car, great seats, stereo, and it even manages to be quite fun to drive. If I ordered again...

Re: The ebay thread
Yeah but age will be playing a part now. It's a 20yo car no? Lots of brittle plastic and rubbers (I've not watched the vid so no idea what work's been done!).

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
As it typical of this government (or any government really) this is a ham fisted introduction to the policy change. However, in the background, I do think there are certain aspects of modern life which need to be "nipped in the bud" somewhat before Pandora's box is opened and can't be shu...

Re: Bye bye Sturgeon
What I can't see anywhere on the main news outlets are the stories about how the SNP changed the official record of what Humza Yousaf said in a speech months ago, as he was reported for a hate crime for being racist (despite the fact that there's a video of him saying it). Which obviously leads to q...

Disappointed you hadn't done 7175mi when it sent your "review" through.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Are the diesel lumps in these any good or prone to bork? As it's JLR I'd naturally tend to assume the latter for any part of the car tbh.

He's put a deposit down on a diesel XJ in deepest darkest North England. Beige exterior, with beige interior and wooden steering wheel. :shock: I have been requested to give him a "quick lift" to Middlesbrough sometime this weekend to check that the car isn't a lemon. FFS. That has "...

Re: Dangerous beers...
I've just today received a case of 12 Brains SA. Reminded by a friend who had a pint of it the other day that I've not seen it in years - used to be the go to beer for this household when the 6 Nations was on. So I just had to order some. I had that Brains stuff in Cardiff, was decent. What are the...

Re: Test drive report
The mileage discrepancy seems to just be one MOT with no mileage recorded. All the others are consistent. I have a mileage discrepancy on the 330, thanks to an MOT tester typing 133,000 instead of 113,000 one year :roll: I wonder if there is a way of rectifying such a discrepancy. Issue is likely e...

…Yeastie Boys… <round of applause> 8-) That would obviously work for a craft bakery too. It had a run of being fairly widely available in supermarkets but that time has come to an end now seemingly. Brewed under licence by Brewdog as well, so a difficult one depending on where your moral bar sits. ...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?
It's because it's "travelling" rather than simply getting from A-B, surely? And then there's the freedom aspect for me - I loathe airports and having to spend any amount of time in them is purely a means to an end, and it's time I'd rather spend doing almost anything else. Even sitting on ...
