It always amazes me the stupidity of these so called " leaders"  thinking that they can get away with such crimes it's all about the " old pals act" the problem being that the majority seem to be sick twisted perverts who relish boasting about their exploits to their kind with photographs & videos, I've seen it all before and these privileged individuals are no better than the perverted scum I had to deal with on a daily basis until a few years ago, I sincerely hope all involved get convicted of their sick crimes.

Took the BMW to the local motor factors to collect a replacement for the bits that dropped off the galaxy this week 

With the features switched off, I'd expect no impact of charge level over a few days, as it's only powering alarm, entry system and telematics really.

Been a lurker on Tesla groups, when they were on the short list. There is a 'phantom' drain issue there, but I think it's due to all the cameras and sentry mode etc. Not unheard of for considerable amounts eg 20% of power lost in a week. Other functions like a climate over product to cool if car gets to hot etc are on by default.

To allay any potential concerns - the iX lost about 2% over the week we left it parked at Southampton docks last summer - and iirc yours has a larger battery than mine. I assume waking it up with the app might make it lose more, but I can't see why you'd need to.

Personally I wouldn't have one of the later 2.0 diesels, based purely off personal experience of a disco 5 that I owned for about a week before it went back to the dealer due to one of the well known issues that TB mentioned (cracked inlet manifold iirc). Also one of the dad's at my son's school had one that gave nothing but trouble. I suspect that was down to issues from improper diesel use but nevertheless, he seemed to always be chasing something, Turbo actuator / MAF, all manner of things were mooted and tested but he never got to the bottom of it. In the two years we were acquaintances it seemed to give him nothing but trouble - ultimately he traded it in rather than fire a big parts cannon at it  .

SWMBO's 2.2 Evoque seemed pretty reliable in the time she had it, a perished hose and some odd electrical gremlins caused by the need for a new aux battery were about the extent of its offences.   

Mind you, nor have any of the other 4 main parties

All of that aside, i think Starmers days as PM are seriously numbered now because of the Mandelson thing.
Its just a matter of time.
It could even be days or a few weeks. Probably depends whats in the paperwork he has been forced to release.
In any scenario he is now very much in office but not in power.

Trouble is, the current mob stay in power, and they have nobody fit to run the country

Even before all of this, it was blatantly obvious that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box.

Bro met him on a number of occasions - usually playing that silly game of walking around with sticks and small balls - and always said he was pretty switched on (from a businessman point of view)

But I think he was very badly advised over that BBC interview.

We all know in his younger days he was a bit of a playboy.  I'm struggling to understand the fuss over it all, aside from large sections of the media and public being anti monarchy.

Would I have one? Probably not


In part, if I wanted that sort of car, I'd never be happy until I'd scratched that full fat Range Rover itch....

Depending on age, it will either be Ford engine or Jaguar Ingenium.  The Ford one is a little, err, agricultural, but generally very reliable. The Ingenium diesel is very refined but has a couple of very well known issues, particularly around chains, allegedly less reliable than a K series HG.  That said, her car is Ingenium diesel, over 150k miles, original chains, and properly reliable aside from an occasional limp mode where I can't work out what is going on (P006A MAP/MAF correlation)

Rest of the car will depend on its previous life (as will the engine in reality), both service and usage - being a pretty capable 4x4, it might have spend its life towing horseboxes out of muddy fields, or reversing speedboats into the sea.  Or it might have just taken the kids to school.

As a car, most Disco sports seem nice to ride in and drive, better than the Freelander II, which itself is miles better than the original Freelander...
