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.

Breaking a Broody Hen….

How do you break a broody hen? One of our hens has been broody. We thought she’d get over it, bit it’s been over a month and her condition has deteriorated to the point that the other hens are picking on her. Time for a spell in chicken prison to snap her out of it. If we had a bigger coop, I wouldn’t mind giving her some fertile eggs to hatch, but for now…….. A dog crate raised off the ground ...

How to Remove a very small ride-on mower tyre - Honda HF1211
Просмотров 9902 месяца назад
You see all these guys changing the tyres on their John Deere tractor mowers, well it looks easy, but have you tried it on the smallest ride on mower they ever made? These are tiny wheels and tyres. It’s nearly impossible to use the multiple tyre lever method. The tyre bead is too deep and the diameter too small. You’ll just end up damaging your wheel rim.

Thanks. This vid gave me the confidence to fix my 340C drawer flakiness in the same way :) Cheers.
Very cute 😍
Thank you! 😊
I used to own a Series 1 red 106 Rallye, back in the late 90s. It was a great little car Sorry tale, i sold it to my sister and she forgot to tax it so the local council towed it away and crushed it…😢 I still dream about that car….registration M184 BLB
I think you should buy a french car ! Citroën AX, Renault 5 or Peugeot 106😁 you will like those cars
I also owned a Renault Clio, another great car, when I lived in France back in 1999.
@@Himoutdoors nice 👍
Thank you! This saved us.
I can push in the tray but flashes door and wont spin or read?Any thoughts Thanks.
Thanks mate. You've saved me from despair!! So easy but I was whay to scared to do it ;)
Nobody wants to break their brand new Miele appliance. Glad to help!
I have one of these - and the issue isn’t the door not opening - instead the door won’t stay closed - when I press the close button - it will close and then pops back out on its own, same thing when I press the play button.
Why would you want to close the dishwasher when its finished? It's like closing a door when you want to get inside. You people should really evaluate your intelligence.
Thank you for the video, just what I needed. Strange so little oil came out. Did you measure the top up so we know what it should be? Thanks again for taking the time to post.
It was probably about 0.5-1 litres. Best to keep adding until the level is right. All these engines have different capacity for oil. I wouldn’t believe a word the manual says. Mine said something ridiculous like 1.1 litres which is way over the dipstick.…..
Not only is it NOT in the manual. They have a full on animated video that leaves it out, too!
I can't get the turntable to go in and out manually. Is there some clip or something to release it?
I just pushed it out and back in again.
Thank you! Could not figure this out
Здравствуйте! Вы смазавали салазки лотка смазкой?
No, I’ve not. But I’m sure a bit of silicone lubricant would help!
No need to push the prongs in. You'll damage them.
Maybe not too deep but you need to push it in a little. The prongs are very robust on this one, no fear of damage as long as you push it in straight and pull directly out.
I accidently found another way to remove tire, bend the rim all to crap, only down side is have to buy another rim and tire......
I know, it’s a nightmare. 😂 If you could buy a wheel and tyre complete, that’s the option I’d recommend.
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 words of encouragement. The mower is, sadly, at the bottom of the list of priorities. My primary aim is to keep it running and finding time to cut the grass (over 0.5 acres of grass). The poor little HF1211 was designed for a nice manicured lawn, not our mole-ridden bump-fest of a garden 😂 In the latest video I change the front tyre. What an effort!😢
@@Himoutdoors I had to put a tube in one of my front tires before I could use mine and There won't be a next time. What a PITA that was. from now on I'm going to the store and buying a tire on the rim for 45 dollars, it's worth it. As I write this, I noticed now the other tire is now flat...lol...off to the parts mower I go cus it has one front tire still holding air. I have an acreage and my Husqvarna 2042 is not cut out for this either but it's all I got for now. Keep them videos coming they are awesome.
What direction facing is this room?
North facing, but gets a lot of light. The latest room is in Eddy which is a green version, similar tone to the borrowed lights blue. I’ll post a video. Really difficult to show on video as it always changes the colours.
Thanks! How do I know when it is done? When the "running" light turns off?
The door will open slightly as the machine blow dries the contents into the room, and a little beeper goes off to tell you it’s finished.
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.
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 I still have my CDs, but I can see why they are going out of fashion. A CD has a storage capacity of 700MB. If you get a scratch on it, it sometimes won't play. The plastic jewel cases break all the time. And now, you can get a 256GB USB drive you can hold in the palm of your hand. That's 365 CDs worth of data. With one exception (Alpine), most car CD players I've had failed. Cassette tapes in cars were more reliable. I am thinking of going to a network storage drive for all my digital music. But I do still own and use a turntable!
@@southerner66 I love it that you still play records. I have some vinyl but no turntable. One day, I’ll set it up. Maybe I’ll build a garden room for my musical instruments and put in a proper sound system!
Thank you! I couldn’t figure out out
Thank you! Just had one of these installed and couldn't find this information in the instruction manual!
It’s not there….unbelievably!
Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. My AZUR 851C has another problem: It doesn't read the CD, drives in and out and shows "Tray Error". Does anyone have an idea why this might be? Thank you for your help.
If you can source another 851C for spares you might be able to replace the whole CD transit mechanism? Probably fairly cheap spares and repair out there… providing the cd transit still works….good luck!
Hey, i have a cambridge audio cxc transport and recently the tray is jittering/vibrating while it closes. Do you think it needs a new belt or needs to be greased?
Yeah sounds like the belt is perished and slipping. Try that first and see if it improves things. Greasing will only make it worse. You want grip, not slip! 👍🏻
@@Himoutdoors Thanks for the reply I will try that 👍🙏

@@Himoutdoors its not unusual here 😀 thank you for the link mate
Thanks for this. Unlike some I spent no time trying to work it out myself and came straight to RUclips. The stupid thing about this is that two years later and people still have to come here because Miele haven’t yet realised that their manual is shit 😆
I do not think much of the KitchenAid as I feel they are made in china not many made in USA as they are far too expensive plus comparing to Kenwood they do not have the power of a Kenwood even the new sunbeam is great as well but now they are all made in china / where my last Kenwood went for 30 years doubt the new ones will be as good 😀
My kitchenaid says Made in USA. It’s a 5KSM150. St Joseph, Michigan, USA. Kenwood are good, I agree. Not much between them, I guess it depends on what you like the look of. If I were to buy again I’d get one with a fixed head where you lift the bowl up to the head. Tilt head mixers get wobbly too quickly and need adjusting too often IMO. Also stainless steel mixer parts, of course! 🤓
@@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.
How has your new prop performed? Any issues?
All good, the speed wobble has gone. And there I was blaming the tyre fitter for not balancing the wheel properly….😬
so after June, don't harvest any more?
No, you let it build up energy for the next spring harvest. If you harvest beyond June, you weaken the plant, and it won’t last 20 years.
Hi , I have same machine Honda and I suggest you every five years to spend 1 hour to clean them in video it easy to see that you take care . This Honda it is very strong and support everything.
Good engineering Honda. That engine will outlast the rest of the machine. Bullet proof!
We were flummoxed by this - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Mate, thanks ever so much for doing this video, it really helped me to get the starter motor off. No joy with the pry bar method but it popped off the taper with a 6" puller.
Glad it was helpful mate! Even if you could find someone to work on it, how do you get it to them? Actually I need to take the flywheel off again as I think the magneto needs replacing. Hot starts are an issue. I have a magneto in the shed somewhere but where I put it, I have no idea….
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.
Great advice! I now keep the door open, don’t use kindling but a couple of extra firefighters.
Excellent video! Thanks for posting 👍
omg thank you
No problem!!
Bon jardinage 😊!
Merci, et a vous aussi!
Great video. How much did you pay for the firewood and what is the quantity?
I think it was £160 for 1.2m3. £80 after refund.
Was wondering how to close the door on the new dishwasher , great video helped immensely.
Thanks
So glad I took a leap of faith & followed your advice. £4 off eBay for new belt band & it was fixed in no time! Your kid sounds like a future oxbridge candidate- smarty!!Thank you
Ps! Good advice from another reviewer we are now following ..never place Sky box on top of CD player.. the heat causes the belt to corrupt. Probably obvious to non f*wits
She’ll be pleased to hear that. Quite the clever clogs!
What's the procedure for jacking up a lr4 i would like to do the maintenance myself on it like brakes, tire rotation and the propshaft but scared incase i bugger up the air suspension settings because it takes a hissy fit when done wrong. Thanks
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!
Thank you. Was there any noise associated with this when the center bearing was failing?
No noise but very noticeable vibration. I know some do start knocking. It depends how worn out the rubber bush is and how notchy the universal joint.
Will IT works with a 851c too? Nice Video thanks alot! PS: your kid ist OK after ooops and the Help from it makes the Video nice twice !❤
Probably. If they use the same cd transit. Best open it up and have a look at the mechanism to check. Remember to unplug first!
OK yes Open and Look also thank you ! I have a really funny tray :-)
you have been ripped off my friend..
Certainly was. I will not use the guy again, and I reported him to the standards company and told them they might want to do more testing of his product.
super simple but effective video. Just had my dishwasher installed and could not figure out to close it. Thanks for doing this!
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.
