    Regen

    In the last few days I've noticed the regen doesn't seem as strong as it used to, while according to the dash it's regen'ing (the needle goes to the charge bit around as before and Amp numbers are in the negative) but the car doesn't seem to slow down as it used to before. I usually drive in...

  3. Ringing/whistling noise

    Have had my LR for nearly two weeks now. Driven over 800 miles already. The one thing I haven't worked out yet is where a ringing/whistling noise is coming from. Sounds like the front passenger side around the dashboard. Only happens at 45 mph upwards. Road type doesn't make a difference...

    From the start of the year I decided to accurately measure the energy used/ miles travelled and have been suprised to discover the miles/Kwh measurement appears to be 10% out?

    Original vs LR features difference

    Apart from range, what are the differences? Seems to be iPilot and loading of the roof rails from my untrained eye. Is this right? If so at nearly £10k cheaper the original looks better value as the LR range doesn’t seem that might higher. Or am I wrong?
