| Usually cars that have been wrapped are covered in little cut marks where the wrap has been trimmed, leaving them only fit for a respray or rewrap. |

| Scraping the sticky layer off with a thumbnail and cleaning up with windex seems the normal solution. |

| Per a LR tech when they launched, facelift has anti-sway control for trailer towing. Torque vectoring. Less ridiculous resume on radar cruise (that doesn’t launch you at the horizon when the car in ... |

| I agree with most of the above on L320 vs L494. The 494 feels like an upgrade in quality and refinement, it’s quieter, the trim is higher quality and the ride quality is massively better. The 8sp is ... |

| Typically 23mpg from my tdv8, running around doing short journeys and using all the power. Got 28mpg on a run to the alps, but never see that day to day. It drops a lot towing. Generally 14-16mpg with ... |

The 4x4 info isn’t very interesting.
It is if you're driving off tarmac. 
Does it? I can see what traction control mode it’s in on the dash. The air suspension info never seemed ... |

| I would assume that any original LR manifold is either cracked (hence it’s been removed) or about to crack (because it’s at least 14 years old and has gone through a zillion heat cycles on top of ... |

| Assuming you’re talking about one of the inlet manifold/cam covers on the 3.6 tdv8, not fitting new is a massive false economy. It’s quite a lot of hassle because the injectors have to come out. L ... |
