Yes but only whilst the engine is below optimum temperature then it disables

This is really frustrating as soon as you turn the engine off it reverts to the default . I would have thought it should memorise the settings to each key which would be more helpful.

My problem is I am not always setting the change
I know it resets (EU requirement) each time engine is turned off - what I want to be clear on is the key presses to select visual only notification of speed limit - it’s OK as a flashing warning I just don’t want the beeps

Once I have set mine to visual only, it stays like that until the engine is turned off.
Sounds great FT and I’m really pleased you like the engine as this has always been my niggle with these cars.
Had a day in north Yorks yesterday and went up in a Disco 5 (it even made it back!). He had new General Grabber AT3’s which looked good, had barely no road noise and these were on huge 21” rims so are definitely worth considering if the BFG KO3’s never turn up.
Still no news on the delivery of my Invincible but it should be December so not long now……….
Dave - I hope Toyota will have sorted the towing saga out soon, thanks for being the trailblazer on this for us!

Had Grabbers on the last Range Rover on 20’s and they are an option if the AT23 ‘s do not perform and force a change before the KO3’s arrive in UK
On the Road Speed Alert - what are the button presses to select visual only
I can get there but whatever I am doing after it shows with a blue dot next to that option is failing to lock it in
I know it needs to be reselected each time I start the engine (
) but I can’t consistently select it which is my issue -

My misunderstanding , I thought you meant the over speed alert . The speed limit change alert, if you turn it off ,still shows in the HUD and changes accordingly but no longer beeps, also this one doesn’t reset once turned off it stays off until you turn it back on.Had Grabbers on the last Range Rover on 20’s and they are an option if the AT23 ‘s do not perform and force a change before the KO3’s arrive in UK

Do you mean that invincibles have arrived in UK or that you are not taking yours so it’s available
Mine is on order with Steven Eagle in Bromsgrove and my friend has just popped in and that was in the showroom as soon as he asked about it they rang me to say that they had bought it back in. It’s the first invincible I’ve seen in the country but it’s a non-MHEV model which is a bit of rarity I would say, but it’s available for someone to buy now

Interesting - mine is a 2.8 diesel without the 48v MHEV which I like but I suppose most will be going the added battery route from 2025 - pure diesel will become a bit of a rarity
Just did 1000 miles over a few days and really happy with it - got to use Low Range and have a bit of a play and I have to say I like the tech now I can switch off most of the audible warnings

Yes I could buy that one but as I see it it’s old technology now as it’s not a MHEV plus it’s a used car at more than new price and I don’t play those games but for someone it’s ideal

AC seems fine to me
I don’t like the battery hump and not excited by current generation hybrids and EVs but each to their own
They are bound to solve the battery efficiency challenge and manage to produce longer lasting , faster charging, smaller cells that do not require so much heavy cooling equipment and offer greater range but as we stand in 2024 it’s at an early stage and I will wait for later evolutions

I think you are right Flying trotter the reviews from Australia for the MHEV aren’t particularly positive it doesn’t seem to offer any advantage over a straight diesel you lose boot space and add weight and complexity. It seems it is also slower than the 150 and takes longer to stop.

It’s driven by the need to meet the emissions regs not because it makes any real sense - Harry Metcalfe had a good explanation
