...did it easily I'm pleased to say & I earned myself 6 cans of Fosters..🍺🍺🍺

Well, you'll be sorted when the time comes to clean out your chemical loo.  :y
.

The vindaloo that we're having tonight should do the trick nicely, washed down with a couple of pints of cobra works better than dynamite..😂

Hope it doesn't melt your Porta-potti!  :o   ;D

Taking of a vindaloo I used to pour caustic soda down the exhaust of my 2 stroke bikes as part of a general decoke. :)

Got the Bini into Audi mode... Front stripped and subframe out. One old bush to dig out and then I need to find a friendly garage that can press the new ones in.

An absolute idiot of a job in the grand scheme of things. Must have changed the wishbones etc on about 15 Omegas over the years, and never did I have to use a full fat sledge to knock anything loose :o

Aren't all their engines branded Ingenium now?

I suspect DTM won't give a monkeys about perceived reliability issues on the Ingeniums, as he'll be handing the keys back long before it becomes an issue....

My cousin works for Ford and swaps his car for a new one at 6 months or 10,000 miles whichever comes first.

A neighbour has just had his 22 reg with 18,000 miles & full RR history totally fail , they're total crap that's why there being offloaded there's a group formed to take legal action against Land Rover, personally I don't think they'll get anywhere , it's simply a case of pay your money & take a chance. More money than sense.

Without any exaggeration at all I've read about at least a dozen failures on these engines this week on the various RR forums, the saddest part being that many owe thousands on finance for a vehicle that is totally useless & not fit for purpose. So if anyone on here is thinking of purchasing one Google for information.

Pretty good, handled much better than it should and was doing circa 38-40mpg on my commute, had no issues with it over the 25k miles I put on it. Very quiet and comfy vehicle.
