Hi Tim.

Just uploaded a few more photos

Yes I do love the Indus silver / Santorini Black roof combo was hard to find this colour in a Hybrid as there are not many Hybrid's about ! As you say in the L494 there are not many around, don't know why ? Is the Indus silver a cost £ option ?

Thanks.

No, I think it is because people got bored with all the silver cars around a few years back and then the Police forces all started buying silver cars so everyone changed to buying white cars....... so when it came to time to sell buyers wouldn’t suspect a pensioned off police car! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

1000% agree... dealerships repair capabilities are a joke. I wouldn’t trust them to pump my tyres up...

Yes when you look around there are loads of early L320's in silver but very little L494's. As you say I guess people wanted a change. It seems to be the other way around now loads of white cars about so the silvers seem to stand out more when you see one

Plus as you say the police didn't help the situation either

Yep I totally agree

Will tell you a story on this one, as you know I broke down so my Hybrid got recovered to Marshalls of Ipswich...... Almost 2 week's later I went to pick her up from them and noticed the o/s front and o/s rear alloys where marked which looked like from rachet straps when she was on the low loader

these wheels were spotless when I picked her up !!!

Cut a long story short Marshalls didn't want to know and neither did Listers of Droitwich where it came from !!! They said there is nothing they can do as it's not their fault !
When I spoke to them I said it wouldn't of happened if you done your job right and let it out in a serviceable condition !!

Got them to agree to do it in the end which was hard work !! Got her booked in to Norwich Hunters next week to get both wheels referbed ! But this shouldn't happen the level of care today is terrible it's more about sales then about anything else.

I love the vehicles but some of the people who work with them are driving people away from the brand !!

Cheers.

Hi Guys.

Thought I would polish up my exhausts again today this time I remembered to take some photos

Plus I wanted a Hybrid badge on the back as for some reason they only put these on the side vents on the sports where as the full fat range rover had one on the back too, so bought a Hybrid badge from Landrover £25

Let me know what you think good or bad ?

Cheers.

Tom.

Well Done.
I did the same on my former Hybrid RRS, kept the LR Oval on the right and just the Hybrid on the left...

Detail freaks... 😂

Hi Renaco.

He, he yea we are detail freaks love it though

I just couldn't resist putting a Hybrid badge on the back

Well she is getting there I certainly love my Hybrid its the best Landrover I have owned.

I'm thinking of a new full exhaust system though to make it sound a bit better

How's your new Phev getting on ?

Cheers.

Well I ended up spending all day on her polishing, it was such a nice day I couldn't resist
The Mrs was hoping to go out in her with me today but didn't as I couldn't stop polishing

Knackered now !

Hope you like the shots, my Mrs thinks I'm totally obsessed how I keep doing photos of my Hybrid

I Even took the cover off my campervan for a Duo picture

yep I agree I am obsessed with my landrovers and campervans

Now finally sitting down with a beer

Yes I can see that last load after the polishing job, is your car One of the special finish paint jobs because it looks quite matte finish in the shots? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi Tim.

Glad you can see the photos

No it's a metallic in Indus silver with a Santorini black roof it just must be my pictures which make it look a mat silver.

I love the colour though as there is not too many around.

How's the Mini going ?

Cheers.

Mini’s fine, a small charging timer software update has a glitch that Mini Tech are working on! 390mpg average so far according to the TC but don’t believe it, in reality the BMW/Mini TC is worthless on this PHEV as it keeps on clocking up mpg even when the petrol engine is not running looks good though when you show folks how economical it is, in the little bit of petrol,only driving a do in it though it is getting around 54mpg on 4* but i’m Able to drive to town in electric mode and plug into a charger in the car park for free and there’s no parking fee either if you are on a charger and also no fee for the park and ride bus for EV owners in my local town! So run to town and back costs me about 90p in ‘lecky use at home and the public charging really costs £20pa for the RFID card to start the public chargers in Scotland. And it is up to highly Illegal speeds in no time at all even in EV mode........... it will run up to 85mph in electric only mode, enough for most folks, and 0-62mph in 6.2 secs if you welly it and use both the petrol and electrici motors in tandem - faster than the Cooper Works Special 2.0ltr Countryman! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
