Bless u, thks so much for that

Can really see the difference , where this one is squarish and looks like it follows the contours of the disco where the others are just completely round

HenryB, I look forward to some images after you have actually collected it, in your possession so to speak - minus the dealer paper floormat and after you have had a chance to put your own stamp on it, even just the inevitable initial detailing to make it look it's best. I am sure it will be very photogenic once in your ownership. ☺

Yep can't wait

I like a good clean disco not really a fan of lifting them and offroading them to a certain degree.

Will post Pic's and the like when I finally get her.

2 days to go!!

"I like a good clean disco not really a fan of lifting them and offroading them to a certain degree. "

Yeah I figured that hence my comments, I'm the same. I used to pick up the two monthly land rover mags each month but I no longer bother, the journalists and contributors are just tooooo gushing about anything with a green oval even if its a crap £50 wrist watch made in China for 50pence, and they are overusing the word 'Adventure' - and overusing the awful sticker 'One life Live it'..... yeah, I enjoy owning my D2 but I could live an enjoyable, adventurous life without it, in fact when the mags constantly use the word 'adventure' I study the images and always think that I could cover and enjoy that terrain more efficiently on my bicycle without even getting my pampered, garage princess D2 dirty. It's getting silly.... but maybe it's me.

Anyhow, a rant off topic, sorry. Back to you and your exciting build up, I feel your excitement, quite right too... been there got the tshirt over the years - enjoy it ☺

I agree.

Personally like the trawl ebay for old mags.

the oldest I have is october 1991.

the newest is may 2002

My D2 will see some fields and a horse trailer but thats it.

I want to keep her clean and rot free

Please let me know how well you get on with removing that glue Gary. I tried on my last Rangie and it was not really ever coming off.

No worries and indeed will let u know how it goes

See there’s a rubber wheel u can put into a drill for removing them , alas is £15 so wondering about getting some adhesive remover first

Here’s the links and will try them out first if u wish to see if there’s crap or not and then report back

Adhesive remover

Wheel

Also great tip I had for removing badges is with dental floss

 

[Big-Larry]

Heat gun, the only way. Then a solvent to wipe away the last residue.

I bought myself those more 3-D shiny RANGE ROVER decals/badges/trim-things. I was going to put them on the last Rangie, but I could never get the glue off and the panel/bonnet looked like crap, so I just de-badged and left it at that. The glue was left behind as an ugly reminder of the cheap flat plastic lettering that had been there before.

Just ordered one from powerful uk , should be here by the weekend and will do a before and after for u

Once I got the letters off I also didn’t want to mess around as worried or scratching / damaging the paintwork

Also here’s a video

Trouble is as I’ve never done that would worry me to much of damaging the paint
