Only you there, I'm afraid Colin.

That was a question to AI, NOT a response

It failed to recognise that 'very' is not a time period, and that there is not 48 months in a year.

Really, I just looked, didn't see it. Please show me where.

Has your account been hacked?
How can I show you something that is not, and never was, 'there'?

They do seem to have gone very weird lately, and considering the cost of the Range Rovers, why are they so unreliable?

IF I were in the market, I'd be looking at the L322, 3.6 V8 diesels, maybe a classic, but good ones are not cheap.

Daughter and son-in-law had one for a while and it was one problem after another, nothing major but one after another and nearly bankrupted them

Well, if you disagree with what the AI said, then quote that, NOT my badly worded question, but take that into account first, as that will sway what the AI responds with.

A bit off topic but maybe a timely warning. There are naughty sites spoofing ChatGPT. You think you are getting AI info when in reality you are getting a trojan or similar.

Engines with moderen oils require a good hard run to make the oil work as it should, simple starts to warm up cause problems, over 50 years working on engines and reading about oils is important to me, i have had engines round the clock 4 times and still running sweet.

You can't be driving a fiat then

Utter rubbish. Starting your engine and running it for 10-15 seconds is good for it; it circulates the oil back up to the top, but it doesn't get hot enough to make condensation. Maybe depress the clutch too, to free it off.

But taking it for a 30 minute drive is best, as it gets it all moving properly, and you should never start and leave them idling; start it and drive off is best.
