    Edit - Anyone can find this by searching for John Cadogan or Auto Expert on Youtube - it's his latest video.
    Up in a (Launceston) Nthn Tasmanian people's park there are a dozen or more monkeys, can't recall their breed, however they seem very intelligent and provide much amusement and interest for my grandchildren whenever we visit the Nthn end of the State.
    I don't mind watching their antics either.

    Frankly, I'd bet good money that any one of those monkeys could provide a more interesting, more meaningful and much less dramatic overview of ANY vehicle, let alone the new Defender, than Mr. Cadogan.
    It's got me completely flummoxed why people watch that fella on U-tube other than maybe for a good laugh.
    Surely no one takes him seriously????
    "Auto Expert"..... you'd have to be joking!

    TFL updated their status, they have a new 6 cylinder hybrid and seem content.
    Cadogan and the other guy Andrew St Pierre White are entertainment, they may have been relevant once but are now playing to their media personas. Having said that Cadogan has done some interesting pieces, I've had an "ah ha" moment or two, and Andrew has some good footage, just put him on mute.

    Powerful UK did a good YouTube series on fitting a winch to their Defender, with an interesting twist. They also referenced TFL and the spares issue.

    Major parts sourcing problems starting to rear their ugly head due to COVID and factories shutting down.
    The earthmoving industry is starting to experience it, particularly with parts sourced from Europe.
    Parts availability drying up and the fact that factories have been closed for so long, no replenishment has occurred.
    Can expect this problem for next 3 or 4 months so get used to Suppliers blaming COVID; it's true.

    Problems on the wharf in Qld haven’t helped either.

    Some brands and models of AC units have been out of stock for months with no ETA available.

    Spare parts haven’t really been an issue.

    Powerful's other video showing the process of updating the software was a bit of a drama.
