Axle and all the others,
That Pre drive check has now suddenly become a bit like a pre flight routine, that's for sure
It goes something like this.
Press electronic door lock opener, open door, get in, press electronic ignition key, check that all indicator and warning lights come on, press electronic starter key, when motor is running check that all the indicator and warning lights that should go out do so, chech that all passengers and driver are belted up, seatbelt light should go out, check that door open indicator light goes out, select aircon settings, put transmission lever or button in desired position, press gently on electronicly controlled accererator pedal and drive away.
Simplicity has gone away over the past years.
My Discovery TD5 had a minor elecrical problem (Yeah I know it's a Land rover).
To find out which fuse had blown I had to check a total of 42 fuses OH Joy!
My runaround '81 Landrover series 3 has just 4x35 amp fuses and one of them is not used according to the wiring diagram.
My earlier Series 2 had only 2x50amp fuses for everything. So simple that even a blonde could work it all out.
Great leaps forward..............Nah I don't think so.
Disco.
