FOI on MoD Land Rovers currently in service
Got to love the FOI process and some of the things asked.

This was posted in response to a question on vehicle tyre consumption:

Probably someone from a company selling tyres abusing the FOI system to try and get info on their usage. Happens all the time sadly.

Shame the info (I would suggest) is incorrect....

They state that the prime vehicle uses the same tyres as the 1.13t (Penman) trailer....

Every penman I've seen has Michelin XZLs

Most Pulse (and TUM) factory fresh use Goodyear G90's.... ok they get replaced wither either G90's or XZL's in service.


I'll go kick some tyres and grab my thermos.... Rolling with laughter

+1

The NHS get this sort of thing all the time. Like Retroanaconda says, suspect many are lodged by companies trying to interpret when commercial opportunities might come up.

I'm all for being open and transparent but they can consume a lot of resources.

Moan over ...

Stay safe everyone. Hopefully not much longer now. Very Happy

Only 172 nineties in service, that is much lower than expected, we used to have them about the same numbers as the 110.

(Yes I know they are not 90/110 strictly) 80" 1948
Lightweight V8
Bowler Tomcat
130 Station wagon
90 300tdi
(Santana PS10 pick up)
Range Rover L322 (Ful fat)
