Discovery 4 / LR4 Cost of ownership - 6 years and 65,000 miles…
Land Rover people love their Land Rovers, but how often do they add up how much they cost to run? No often I would posit.
We’ve just sold ours after it needed more work doing and I decided to get something a bit cheaper for the school run - a Seat Alhambra if you’re wondering (embrace the minivan!)
So I did the sums, and it cost (drum roll)
39p per mile excluding fuel
£1.61 including diesel at 1.43ppl and 27mpg average.
Is that good?
I certainly economised by doing a lot of the servicing myself, buying oem parts and using an independent workshop, but there’s no denying it, whilst they’re lovely to drive and wonderful places to sit, the running costs of these big, heavy performance cars (yes...

Land Rovers are great cars, but you need a spare £2000 a year for repairs if you want to run a used one out of warranty. Or maybe spend the cash on a warranty. This is not a £30k car, it’s a £60k car with running costs to match. The Ferrari of off-roaders is massively over-engineered for the school run, wests tyres, brakes and suspension arms like a champ.

    You should probably invest in a portable air tank, if you don't already have one, and blow all the grass and dirt off these things before servicing. There was a lot of dirt and gunk around all the plugs you removed which you know will find it's way into the engine and trans. For bead leaks on tires I find that lightly scuffing the rim and using bead sealer goes a long way and I don't have to buy so many tires. Great video though and I've learned something new. Cheers.

    Thanks for the video. Seems to be a British thing to use oddball or security screws on HiFi gear. Despite my extensive tool collection, I had to order a new set of specialty bits to get a T6 Torx bit. I used long-handled hemostats to remove and replace the belt. I also had to order a new belt. Mine wasn't broken, but was old and stiff. As a stop-gap measure, I heated the old belt a bit with a heat gun, and it worked until the replacement arrived. Support from Cambridge Audio is non-existent, as tends to be the case for many HiFi companies on their older products. There are exceptions (like McIntosh), but most want you to buy their new gear.

    • @Himoutdoors
      @Himoutdoors 2 месяца назад

      Tools tools tools. If I added up how much I spent on tools… Luckily CA use a lot of standard off the shelf parts from the big guys so hopefully wear items can be sourced, but I agree, no support whatsoever after you purchase. Hopefully the non-moving bits last longer. In our modern age of Alexas and HomePods, hifi separates are really out of favour. I expect you could build an audiophiles dream for spare change. Even charity shops won’t accept CDs, so we may be at a bottom in that regard. I’m hanging onto my CDs not just for posterity, but as a rite of passage for my children - my opinion of my parents increased substantially when I discovered their record collection. They were young and cool once, too…

      @@Himoutdoors Made in USA or assembled? My artisan says assembled in USA, but I got it from Walmart (in 2022) and I know some manufacturers make a different version of their product exclusively for Walmart, usually to get the price a lower. Also, I looked on KitchenAid's website and from what I could see they don't ship the stainless attachments with any of their mixers anymore other than the $999± USD NSF rated commercial bowl lift mixers. Even the ones featuring the "deluxe" attachment kit are grey coated, you just get more attachments. You can order a 3 piece stainless set that replaces the coated set that came with your mixer for $99 USD, or you can get them individually for about $35 USD each. I guess they went with a grey coating so the chipped areas blend better with bare aluminum underneath? For what they charge for their mixers plus the fact they present themselves as the premier brand of mixers, you would think that they'd ship stainless steel attachments with all their mixers. EDIT: I was mistaken about mixers shipping with stainless attachments. Just found a 4.5qt. tilt head on amazon that comes with stainless so I'm sure there are probably others available. I still think stainless should standard equipment though.

    1: Your primary air is closed off with only your secondary air open. 2: Your stove door is closed which, along with the primary air being shut off, is reducing the amount of oxygen within the chamber. To combat a struggling initial fire in a stove, have both of your air intakes open (both primary and secondary) and leave the door slightly open for increased oxygen intake.

    • @Himoutdoors
      @Himoutdoors 5 месяцев назад

      It’s not difficult, but it’s a big heavy car with a lot of ground clearance, and when you jack it up, it (unhelpfully) thinks it’s off road and it tries to keep the wheels on the ground by lowering them even more. The best thing to do is take out the air suspension fuse which stops this happening. Get yourself a 3 tonne jack and jack stands (I got mine from Clarke) choose a jack with over 520mm of lift and get pumping! These cars are not difficult to work on. Brakes are easy peasy, like most modern cars. There’s a technique to adjusting the rear brake shoes, again plenty of videos on RUclips about those. As long as you jack up on the frame rails or the front crossbeam, it’s easy to get the jack stands in there. Good luck!

    B.S. If you like devices, fine. Experience for those using firewood seriously means one learns to season. Here's what one does: Splits will check on ends. The logs split will be lighter than when green. Many wood species will grey over time seasoning. Banging two splits together will often "ring" like baseball bats. And, in the wood stove unseasoned logs will sizzle. The moisture meters are not accurate for firewood. They do break. JMNSHO from decades heating with self harvested firewood.

      Thanks for your experience, really helpful. I agree about the timbre of the wood when you knock it together. It resonates. I’m a relatively newcomer to seasoning and burning wood so always happy to learn more tricks. We have a 1 acre garden with plenty of trees which need work so always wood about to season and burn. The moisture meter may not be accurate, but it is more scientific than nothing. What I have found makes the biggest difference is covering the wood to protect from rain and snow. If you do this you can store wood outside and give it long enough and it will season. Thanks again!🙏

    If anyone struggles with this, i have just done a belt replacement without removing the entire transport system and without breaking the pulley covers, locating the clips that allow the tray to move further forward to enable unhindered access to the belt and pulleys.

    South Mississippi here. The drought experienced during the 2023 summer really put my drying time in the fast lane. I have racks of both oak and pecan, all metering at 10% or less. Curious to note, the oak dried and seasoned quicker than the pecan. Not sure why, but I thought it would be just the opposite. Thanks for your post. Very informative.
