What did you do with your Range Rover today

[tomcat59alan]

My screen was replaced at home,the fitter used a reciprocating scraper to cut through the sealant and a jig that fitted to the car then an arm which was suction padded to the screen fitted to the jig so the screen could be pivoted into position.

Today I rebuilt two EAS valve blocks,the one in use and my spare. Thanks @RangeRoller dt those extra bits you sent me came in handy.

Doesn't matter how it's damaged. But they might ask you to take your car to the centre doing the work

Would be legal if with appointment. Can drive without MOT if on way to or from a booked test, or taking it to a place / returning from a place where work required for the MOT is to be done, by appointment and as long as the car is in a safe condition. IIRC.

And within a reasonable distance I believe but who's to say what's reasonable.

Yes Keith’s and Doos are blue

I thought the windscreen was bonded in so needed to be cut out? Don't they have a special tool?
Someone mentioned claiming on insurance. Can you get insurance without an MoT certificate?

Yes but I’m not comfortable getting insurance and asking while I’m here getting a quote....then even if a guy turns up it’s in the garden long way from the road . (No need for strimming with the lift the mower fits under it)
If I replace the windscreen and stop this tyre leaking I should get an mot, insurance may even be cheaper trying to insure an motd vehicle?

Mot won't affect insurance

The fixing of the other, non-car related, issue you had, should help insurance

You cAn re gas it yourself aswell iv you get the kit from halfrauds or eBay

Yes BUT you need to know how much the system takes gas wise and add enough kits to make sure its fully gassed up otherwise it wont function 100%. Best option all round is to look online for a local mobile chap who can do it as he will have the charts which will tell him exactly how much gas is required.

First drive to work n back yay had the expected banter off colleagues. Hey Phil Mitchell. We paying ya too much. Green eyed feck em

lorries on motorway don't seem as scary as the last few weeks passing em in a mini cooper S

Finally sat on neighbours Wall for nearly 20 mins having a smoke admiring the view (car) and waiting for gear change light to go out.

Paranoia calmed ready for a kip now

It would be even cheaper if it wasn't "modified"

 

[RangeRoller dt]

It’d be scrap by now if it wasn’t or still standing there no one able to get it running

2 bolts recessed into holes in the back of the sump on the V8.. seems like the thread into the block has gone.. wondering if i really need them... Number 8..

 

[stuu]

Went upto workshop just over 1000miles on the new turbo so changed oil and filter again. Then noticed my spare engine had a fairly new looking starter a year old according to the lable on it so out of the sake of doing somthing i changed that.
Genuinely can't believe how quick it fires up now.

It's not designed to keep water out and it's alloy.

Try a longer bolt, an extra 5mm and some loctite might get you out of trouble. If not a helicoil kit could save your day

had a bad experience with trying to use helicoil
I've noticed the starter is wet with oil is that the valley gasket leaking!?

EAS is up to its old tricks..
engine running, extended height set, quite happy, no dancing etc. compressor not running and valves closed.
turn engine off and car drops to access height with a lot of huffing and puffing

Tailgate on mine acting the **** again. Doesn't want to open lol
