It's very hard to set diesel on fire and that Land Rover still managed to ignite itself🤣

I am calling BS. Diesel doesnt burn under normal conditions, and with that fireball the tail lights are still on? The Rangerover is merely driving past a fire.

Well, there has been several cars burning while parked like Mercedes with a Diesel engine... All it takes it a oil leak on top of the DPF while regenerating... Modern diesel's aren't has reliable has they were in the old days.

Unless I am mistaken, this Diesel is a mild-hybrid 48v. And knowing JLR s*cks at everything electrical…

Better to get a Landcruiser than hot garbage RangeRover.
