| If this happens after a cold start it may be that you have one or two failed glow plugs. Once the engine gets going, those cylinders chime in and the problem goes away, but it can only get worse until ... |

DLRs are a European requirement that were lobbied for by the Scandinavians, as it was thought to be a good safety measure in their twilight world.
I just think there was a missed opportunity to mak ... |

| Hmm, if 7mm constitutes 60%, that suggests that the new pad is 11.6mm thick. I thought from memory that the rear was about that thickness and the front nearly double that. But it is a while since I lo ... |

| The front pads are twice the thickness of the rear ones when new, so it is about right that they are even thickness now, given that the front does most of the braking. They tend to wear out together i ... |

Air resistance = frontal area*coefficient of drag*velocity squared.
Range Rovers have a big frontal area!
Interesting to see it quantified in that way though.

Impressive data collection!
Interesting that you used 11.5% more fuel on the winter tyres. Might that be driving conditions, or do you think it is all down to rolling resistance?
