My discovery has a system that sprays the bottom of the car with a diesel/ used engine oil mix as I drive along

Yes we have gone off track, but being green is more than just what car you drive, most of the people on here who drive older land rovers I would think do not heat there house 29 deg, do not fly off for weekends away once a month, tend to fix something instead of throwing it away, we may burn a...

I have no problem with oil or gas and I would have installed a oil boiler 5 years ago if I was asked what is best if you do not have gas New oil boiler installations have been band here, gas will follow soon, I would never say taking out a good working gas or oil boiler was the right thing to...

Really heat pump not right for that kind of installation, I would look at a pellet boiler, expensive to buy but cheap to run,

A good heat pump with the right setup is cheap to run and works well the problem is poor installation or not the right thing for the job, a new house should work, they work best with low temp under floor heating, you should get 3.5 kw for every 1 kw in 90% of the time if you are not too far...

Burning fuel in the car and using a heat pump to heat your house is a greener option a heat pump gives you 2.5 to 3.5 times as much out as you put in a electric gives about 60 to 85% back what you put in there is then losses in the motors, if you have to heat the car it is not a by-product like...

This works on the idea the electric is green, which it isn't, only 40% is green in UK, add that to the table and there is no savings in CO2,as more people have electric cars more will need to be made, mainly using gas, most charge there cars at night so solar does not help much at the moment you...

You have also got to take into account the money you have to earn to buy this car, in my case I might have to work more, which would increase my carbon footprint, or if you take the money out of the bank you could have used the money to put solar panels on your roof, which would reduce your...

Yes I thought that (dry grass) would not like to try on French grass in April or May,

I would think they would not be good for all day use, I would not buy one, this one uses lead acid batteries

My son has been looking at one of these

the sensors use a small amount of power, there is normally a flashing LED, I had a problem with my van running the battery down over night, so was watching it, the batteries voltage changed very little with the battery disconnected but 0.2 to 0.3 V if left connected over night, I put it down to...

It is normally the alarm and other bits that run when car is not used that runs the battery down

why not look at a plug in hybrid, my son has a golf, does about 60km on a charge which will get him to work, just, he charges it at work to get home, cheaper to buy, if he goes a long way he has to use some petrol but it does 5L per 100 KM which is good, If you live in or near a city and do not...

You have also got to remember there are losses in the diesel/petrol system, the diesel does not just appear in the petrol station, it has to be pumped processed then transported to the petrol station all these are a loss/use of energy, which I would think would be greater than the losses in the...

Can I ask what you paid for it I have just had a look and they are 150€ here with extra manufactures 80€

When you give something up that that was set up to make trade simpler and cheaper you can not be surprised when it gets more complicated and expense can you?

Other think might be a good read https://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/can-diesel-engines-clean-urban-air/#:~:text=A%20rather%20shocking%20report%20finds,the%20air%20it's%20driving%

To be fair do the sums A electric car golf size does about 7.5 km per kw A dev golf will use about 5 L per 100 km so 20 km per L Dev has a power of 10 kw per L if you use 30% efficiency that is 3 kw per L which works out 6.66 km per Kw fact not bull**** put out by oil companies or people...

Do you think it would be the same for a Freelander and the VCU ?
