Thread: Anyone here have a concern about a Leccy smell in a RaRo?

Many members have an aversion to "text speak" as has been the subject of many threads over time.

So just relax and go with the flow and tell us what your specific problem is as "leccy' is also very vague.
Does the alternator alternate?

Incorrect, it has by me & no-one ever raised a query.
This name was in use on UK boards long before "Text Speak" became fashionable, anyway, it wasn't about spelling or alternative names it was about advising of the problem & safety of persons in such a vehicle.

The Bulletin is self explanatory as Ian alluded to.

End of.

never heard it before...ra ro?

I wouldnt use it in a conversation with a Range Rover owner

I am still trying to work out how an Evoque ever became an Ra Ro.

It actually brings the Ra Ro name down.Looking at a $300K RR,it definitely has nothing in it that has anything to do with an Epoke,except the badge on the front and rear.But I can see the resemblance of a late model RR to a RR Classic,or P38,or L322.Same class of vehicle.

Its marketing i suppose.

Oh well, maybe I am old school

Gee Paul that Ra Ro name is cool. I must try & use it more frequently, it could be catching.


Now about Leccy?

LECCY? Gee Des, the term is older than you, me and Paul put together, in fact, nearly as old as Rick.

Thank God I hadn't imagined it. It's obvious really, Electrical=Leccy. Strine I believe?

Rick may have even been the bloke that initiated it whilst on the Ark.

I believe it pre-dates electronics. Well Rick also does.



Eg. "there is something wrong with the leccy in this place".
