Here are some recommendations to extend the life of the diesel for as long as possible, So basically, use a 5W40 C3 oil, not the land rover recommended stuff. And overfill to 6.3l instead of 5.5l.

It's a good question. I haven't seen a tear down of one of the disco 5 motors. I'm sure that it is updated from the Disco 4 one. A quick google for Disco 5 snapped cranks didn't turn up much.

By underengineered I mean that the bearing surface area on the Disco 3L crank is too low (~84mm across the main bearings) for the power it makes. If there is even the tiniest imperfection in the crank it will snap over time. They designed a great engine that assumed perfect manufacturing...

The 3L in the Disco 4 motor works great until they grenade themselves. Look up Disco 4 snapped cranks. The crank is underengineered for a v6 that puts out 600nm. You can get the Disco sport with the 2.2 diesel (same motor as came in the freelander 2, not an ingenium motor) but I think it is...

My wife has diesel 2x4 automatic Kadjar. It has been better than I was expecting. We use it for karting the kids around. Average fuel consumption has been around 6.2l/100km. As for servicing costs. seems about the same as any other car. At the 90k service they did replace the cambelt, that cost...

Do physical activities you enjoy and don't overeat. Anything else is not maintainable in the long run. That being said, if your appearance really matters to you then resistance training wins every time.

You are a good dad.

Rolled a paladin last night. I didn’t play the early access, but damn, it hooked me straight away. Itching to play more.

It runs just fine with intel's stock power limits and non-benchmark loads. Most MB firmware are disabling the power limit which makes the temps go crazy.

Buying second hand cars these days is getting more and more sketchy. Okes will do anything to make a dime.

The missus has a 2016 Renault Kadjar 1.5 diesel with 80k on the clock now. I was also hesitant initially, but Renault borrowed the platform from the Qashqai, got rid of the rubbish CVT auto box, and put in a dual clutch box (a good thing IMO, Nissan CVT's are known for kak). The ownership...
