| The one we bought from our local caravan dealer uses 48 watts, on mains, or 12 volts. It works very well, but I don't leave it on in the boot for long, when the engine isn't running. It's been used fo ... |

| The reference to engine revs by BarryKey confuses me. Engine sipped in any gear is a function of road speed, and cannot be altered by differing fuels. Unless there is sufficient increase in power to c ... |

| I find in the Freelander the engine seems to run smoother using premium fuels. A lot of the local roads are restricted to 50mph. Using cheaper fuels, the engine feels a little lumpy at that speed in 6 ... |

What's wrong with a 110? Excellent vehicle for trundling green lanes.
Note: Green lanes are something I can vaguely remember. Mrs Si has imposed an outright ban on laning, once we bought the F2. Ap ... |

Thank's for that, I had hoped it would be OK.
I've been promising to make up a charging lead to plug into the towing socket, for many moons now. But was unsure about how sensitive the ECU was. Obvi ... |

I think I paid just a little over £270 at Team Valley, including an MOT.  |
