That still doesn't sound right. 600 litres is not very much. 100cm x 100cm x 60cm. I bet that's just the volume below the load cover. The X5 has very little space above it due to the sloping rear window while the Disco has loads because it's a big box. So the apparent similarity is a quirk of the me...

But the overall 2558 vs. 1750 is unchanged. Unless anyone thinks they can argue it's a negligible difference ?

That's what I'm talking about

Yes.

And not a Defender.

Really? E53 I'd agree, but they made the E70 onwards noticeably bigger to take a 3rd row of seats. It's pretty flipping large. Granted I've not looked at either in person yet but according to the data on Autotrader: E70: Luggage capacity (seats up) 620 litres Luggage capacity (seats down) 1750 litr...

Fun with the Compact last night. When I first got it, it was apparent there was something wrong with the driver's side electric window - it would whirr away but the glass didn't move. And if you whirred it down you could push the glass up & down by hand. Just another small job on the list. Proba...

That is absolutely fantastic work Harry ! You're my E36 hero

Yes - that is one of the factors driving the dilemma.

No - it's not worth respraying the T4.

We've got a decent specialist not too far away, Challenger 4x4 . My neighbour is a LR buff and uses them a lot. Far more than I use Porsche, BMW or VW specialists... And point noted about the 4 being better than the 3. I hadn't got as far as researching the specs but the price difference suggested i...

I'm having thoughts of switching the T4 for a Discovery 3 or 4. The main point of buying the T4 was that I could fit mountain bikes in the back without faffing about removing wheels, however I've not properly been cycling for almost two years now, so that ability is slightly moot. It's been useful f...

McLaren pulled a similar boner on the 12C:

Those 918 wheels look like a load of little penises.

You can't un-see it.

My updates: Fitted new rear lights to the trailer. The old lights were working fine, to be fair, but I'd realised they were not the originals and had been bodged into place with some dodgy wiring and a multitude of holes drilled for marker lights and cables. Bafflingly, those units are actually more...

...one of those natty high lift jack things. A Hi-Lift® jack is a completely different thing: https://www.landroverpassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/HiLift-Adapter-Land-Rover-Passion-1.jpg If you meant the Aluminum (sic) jacks from Costco and others: https://www.costco.co.uk/medias/sys_master/...

I should be finally moving into my workshop on Sunday

I could bring my van. No idea what the 0-60 is but you can get full sheets of 8x4 in the back.

If you're bringing the F430, that would persuade me to come along in the Aston instead of driving a sh*t old BMW around a field that day !

It's a comedy injury. I deserve a RIBBING for it.

Somehow managed to miss this....WTF!?! Well, my bucket seats don't adjust or recline in any way, and my roll cage has a substantial "X" brace. Here's a pic: rib.jpg So I was trying to crawl over the top of the seats and through the top part of the "X", and stretching to reach th...

Soon ? Been doing that for ages. I sometimes shout at the TV too.
