If you would like a challenge, get yourself a 1996 or newer Land Rover Discovery or Range Rover and try fixing the guaranteed to fail central locking or window regulators. A window regulator at a dealer is a 5 hour job. Owners who do things

Another cool thing about Land Rovers and Jaguars is that the body panels are built from ~50% recycled aluminium.

I never said trolling was not a problem or that moderation should not exist, I was looking at the test from a UX pov where it fails quite badly. On the upside, it succeeds for the collective of users who don't have to filter tripe, but

So have the consumer do the work that should be done by the for-profit company whose job is to sell, market and profit. I believe the burden of work lies with Valve, I don't need more games, it's up to Valve to sell them to me.

I think in some instances, and they only use the quiz on some of the articles, this is a good way to filter the idiots, but on the negative side I wonder how many people forgot the intelligent thing they had to contribute because they had t

Not directly related to this thread but I want to have a little moan about the Steam client, so here goes: When I open Steam it opens in the Store view in the main window, and the promotions pop-up also appears with sales and promo info. Gr

In the UK taxi tipping is often just rounding up, so an 8 or 9 pound fare is £10. The driver won't be upset about giving change, but £1 times 10 5 days a week adds up. (disclaimer: my prices are based on 10+ years ago and always paying

It's almost like Uberpool could be a privately run bus service using larger vehicles and transporting more people at once, instead of private taxis. Depending on the angle you view it from, perhaps the Uberpool service isn't too c

I have never used the any of the 3 services you describe except the bus, can you or someone else explain how the driver makes less when taking on more passengers? Surely that works in an opposite way to the bus. The more paying passengers u

yes, but the Rover plant was always the Rover plant and Rover engineering was always Rover engineering. Shared resources doesn't make a Montego a Rover any more than silicon valley makes Yahoo a part of Apple. It just helped ruin Rover

Yep, every car with a sunroof has leaked, Peugeot leaked, Volvo leaked too. Just move to a country where snow covers your car for 5 months of the year.

I think you might be in an alternate reality if you think series land rovers were manufactured by BL. Even if Rover and BL were merged, Rovers were built by Rover. I've owned a few, currently have 2 of them so not sure who you are tryi

Land Rover owners like to joke about how awful they are, I think it's also a British sense of humour thing. LRs haven't been any worse than any other car I have owned. The series 3 ended production in 1985, the reputation of LR be

Land Rover Series I, II & III. Much like a Jeep, original Willys and CJ, the roof comes off, the panels come off, the body is aluminium, the engine and electrics are simple enough for most people to fix. Most of what can be mechanical

Nearly all military vehicles from the UK, mainland Europe and the US are 24 volt and it has something to do with radio interference shielding, iirc. Certainly all radio equipped vehicles use 24v wiring with 2x12v batteries. Many military La

It's slippery slope territory to start putting employees in a debt situation. Even if there is a cap on the fee, say the paid fee plus a max $50 admin fee, many companies will claim ignorance, start charging more than the $50 fee, then

Not sure if it is still available, but in the UK there was a stout called Sweetheart Stout that was brewed to 2.5% alcohol making it like a very sweet Guinness. It is lovely, used to drink it all the time 20 years ago. Iirc it was in earlie

That's a problem for sure but last week I looked into creating a family tree with the basics of HTML and CSS and the following nested lists seems to be the best solution according to forums. Now, try to add into these nested lists some
