[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 282833, member: 6969"] Well that's 2 days of using the Landy. and no I didn't need anything that wasn't with me. I filled the tank today. I don't think it was really empty, but the fuel gauge said so, so I filled it anyway. I worked out the consumption. 24.24 miles per gallon. Now nobody is going to say that's good, but it's better than I expected (my last Landrover, 20 years ago would never do better than 20mpg) I'm not happy with the handling of the Landy at the moment. It's hard work on the lumpy bumpy twisty steep mountain road I've been driving the last 2 days, to the point I think there's something not right. So I'm hoping to get time to have a good look underneath tomorrow.

I suspect a screw or nail has found the cable. But that can wait until later, for the time being the other 4 lights in that bathroom work. [/QUOTE]
