Car wash bit me!!

Vertex · Feb 12, 2010

Hi
1st time poster long time reader.

So I finally cracked and bought myself a L322 Rangie and on my first outing decided it needed a clean.
I think you can see where this is going lol

Anyway the end result is I'm replacing the high level brake light on the spoiler (I believe the RR sport one is the same). Will I need to remove the whole spoiler or is it clipped into place?
I don't wanna yank the old one off only to find I've wrecked the fittings!

Any advice (or sympathy) greatly recieved!

Cheers

I took my P38 into a car wash last week for a £2 quick wash to get the salt off it.......I now need to find and fork out around £25 for a new n/s headlight wiper arm......(unless anyone has a spare they can sell me

)

I lost a rear mud flap to a carwash, £35 or a a bit of moulded rubber?

This car wash in Denbeigh really did bite

Bout 20 years ago I was using a pressure washer on a forecourt when I noticed water spraying from a tiny hole in the hose, and stuck my thumb over it, of course forgetting that when I released the trigger the pressure in the hose would rocket:doh: So, finished washing, released the trigger, blew hole through my thumb

blood everywhere

I took my P38 through a car wash and the bar that extens for the drying arm put a ****ing dent right in the midle of the back end.

Interestingly enough, my Freeelander owners manual told you not to put the car through a car wash - I assumed they are self cleaning like the oven :smokin:

Car Wash

I'd never put a car through a car wash

All my cars (even the Landy) get regular hand jobs... I don't even let the polish boys near them

I'm sure you didn't mean to write that, right?

Yes, I also handwash, don't use pressure either, just a bucket and sponge. Waste a lot less water; doing my bit for the environment you see (says he while revving the V8!

its called carbon offset

land rover seem to endorse it ?
only ever hand wash mine

. went in the petrol station yesterday there was a queue of 10 cars waiting for the wash bay. at £3+ a time they make a good profit.. then theres all the landy parts they can sell on too.
