If you can afford a RR you can afford congestion charge

I agree though London is gridlocked as is most of South - not bad here unless you are round the Yorkshire golden triangle - Leeds York Harrogate

Plenty of space in Oz I expect  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Not a question, a statement ! Batteries loaded up with toxic metals not to mension it being built then shipped halfway round the world, what was it JC said on top gear, you could run a Range Rover none stop for a year and not come close to the impact of these hybrids. Sorry but there nothing but a gimmick to make the manufactor s look good and dodge the tax, just my view of course... 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

I have considered the eco arguments for years and kept buying LRs as I didn't believe the hype around the so called green machines

I agree hybrid credentials are exaggerated but the phev appears to be better

The parts on a Range Rover are also shipped from all over the world and not exactly eco friendly materials either - JC is very entertaining but has zero credibility when it comes to choosing a car unless you have enough money for a supercar Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Timed climate warmed the car nicely for me this morning then I did 12 miles with heated seat/steering wheel and still had 1/2 the battery when I arrived - no petrol was used on this trip

The DS would be just getting warm by the time I arrived and would probably used about 1/2 gallon

I never used the timed climate on the Black Edition because it was kept in a garage and the fumes would of been an issue

I used my BAS remote FBH this morning (as every morning) which gave a warm engine, heated seats did the rest and then I did nearly 50 miles to work. No petrol used on the trip either.

Oh, I did take the RRS through 18 inches of water at a ford today too. How's your milk float when it comes to fords, Muddy?  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

A little jesting to start
I want to know what happens when in rains, I think I read somewhere that Mitsubishi state do not drive the Phev on wet roads, I guess this means splash thought a puddle and you could subject you backside (and other bits) to electrickery treatment.

So what happens if you skid off the road on your summer tyres into a flooded ditch (I've done this)?

So, Muddy, I think it maybe prudent to start wearing Rubber underpants and wear marigold gloves whilst driving the Float Maybe worth asking BC if he has an old copy of Plastics & Rubbers Weekly you can borrow. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

There are no Fords round me (apart from the Blue oval variety) so not really a problem that the Mitsy shouldn't be driven through them - I'm more interested in it's ability on snow and ice while I'm toasty warm in the cabin and driving emission free

I'm now moaning about fumes from vehicles in front a lot more though  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
