By the way, I did a little research and it seems the thrust behind the new Jaguar advert is that Jaguar plans to go full-electric in their future models. Curiously, that was one of the reasons they scuttled the XJ follow-on. I let my dealer know that they will not be seeing me buy one of them. (I have to wonder at this. Jaguar likes to sell all over the world and there are some places where an all-electric car would never be able to get on the road, for want of reliable electric service.)
The 5.0, 5.0SC and the 3.0SC engines ruined Jaguar/Land Rover, junk engines with terrible cooling system design, not to mention oil leaks like hell. I work on Jaguars at my auto shop. I’ve read they are going electric and mostly going to sell Land Rover Discovery as it is their top seller. Volvo is a solid vehicle, has been for years, I still enjoy my 04 Volvo S60.
A friend of mine owns a machine shop ----- overhauled just about every engine made --- drives a Volvo.
I'm saddened. I had a 2001 Jag XK8 and a 2009 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. Wonderful vehicles. The Jag was great with the top down on a country road in summertime. With 510 hp on tap, the RR Sport was a tank handling like a sports car. Unavoidable circumstances forced me to replace them and we got a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport and a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace, both very satisfactory. I had a long ago Volvo XC 70 and it was a very solid car. I don't sneer at Volvo owners (a bad conservative prejudice against assumed liberal owners). There is a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, but with an electricity availability of 2-3 hours/day, I don't see how EVs would make the remotest sense in that market.
You said the Discovery was their top seller. Are you sure you didn't mean the Defender (which seems to be very popular)? You can ford streams with those things, equipped with snorkels. I don't see how that could ever be practical as an EV. African terrain may not be the worst in the world, but it is certainly unforgiving.
Yeah Defender, my bad lol. Got to typing fast. What engines in your Jag and LR? 2.0D Ingenium should be avoided as well, timing chain issues. The previous engines I listed don’t like being ran hot. It can ruin them. There’s a plastic crossover on the rear of the engine, the coolant temp sensor is in it, when the coolant gets to low, it can’t read the correct temp of the engine as it can’t read air, engine runs hot and you might not realize it, keep an eye on coolant levels.
Volvo plans to be all electric soon too….
Electric might be a way to go, but not before we have Nicola Tesla free energy towers everywhere😀.
Volvo also working on a microturbine hybrid --- burns gas, diesel, kerosene french fry grease, light crude oil ---- California emissions compliant.
canola and sunflower oil
It would be California emissions compliant because the gas turbine doesn't propel the car directly; the electric motor does. A serious EPA loophole, but F them.
Somebody said somewhere that the Earth's magnetic poles are energy waiting to be harvested.
We use electricity to magnetize the poles in an electric motor. The Earth's poles are already magnetized.
Yeah AETHER that or something like it😀
The Earth's rotational energy is "waiting to be harvested," but there is no known way to do it, and a whole lot of questions regarding the wisdom of even trying.
Unless somebody who says such a thing has a clear method for extracting the energy, they are just mouthing off. And electric motors consume energy, not produce it.
