    The condition of your antifreeze/coolant is critical too! Here in the Midwest, it easily gets down to -20°C if not much lower, bad coolant can freeze and your engine won't be able to start, or worse could actually crack the engine block.

      I've swapped the mixture that was on the car for Scorpion Zero All season. There's only summer or all season available now. The difference it's made to the ride is very noticeable, especially the drop in rolling noise. Cornering is better too, particularly noticeable at the back.

      I like to give the glass some Rain X treatment during the winter months. Rain repellent on the exterior, including lights and anti-fog on the interior. Helps with visibility on cold wet mornings.
      Winter type screen wash that doesn't freeze so easily.
      If you can make use of a refractometer it's worth checking the antifreeze mix in the coolant too. Especially if your location is prone to reaching extremely cold temperatures.
      Also if your car is fitted with cabin filters I give them a check just to make sure they won't reduce the air flow for the HVAC system.

    Hi Sam, just picked up a 2010 TDV8 3.6 Vogue SE (my first RR) so been binge watching your videos. Given it's now been a few months, would you still recommend the LEDs for dipped beam over replacement HID bulbs?

    • @SamsMotors
      @SamsMotors  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Phil, congrats on the new motor.
      I’d say they are a good upgrade - the light output vs a brand new HID is a minor improvement, but the LEDs won’t fade like the HIDs do in a relatively short time period. The last set of HIDs I fitted had noticeably dimmed after just 12 months.

      If fitted to a headlight which doesn’t control the beam properly, yes. E.g. fitting them to a headlight designed for a halogen bulb without a projector lens.
      Strictly speaking it would also be illegal to fit them to the L322 as it had HIDs originally, but as the headlight has a proper projector lens, it passes MOTs and doesn’t cause dazzling so is OK in reality.

    You seem to be extremely knowledgeable so I’m going to take your brain. I have an 06 Range Rover supercharged with 116k, had 82 when I purchased it 2 years ago. It’s been in the shop because it wouldn’t start. We replaced the battery and alternator. I got it back and 45 minutes later battery lights came on. I took it back and the found the vehicle PWM sense circuit sending 12 volts out of return side of PCM. this fried the alternator that was previously installed. Recommend to replace vehicle PCM along with alternator. So that was done and when they went to get it ready for me to pickup they called and said it wasn’t starting (completely dead) so they needed to run more diagnostic. Have you ever had a situation like this? This car has always been maintained in a garage and has an excellent service history, and I’m the second owner of the vehicle, which is why I had it shipped to my home in the U.S. so I’m a bit perplexed as why this is occurring all of the sudden. Also the garage I us is a specialist garage that only deals with JLR products. Any help would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
