What did you do with your Range Rover today

Cars don't like being idle and the bigger the engine the more it wants to travel. I find more use means less issues, strangely enough.

I totally agree.

keeps things moving and not sticking and seizing up, the amount of cars that only do a couple of miles to work then breakdown first really long run they do.

Short runs are what kills older cars. A good beating down the A1 is what they need. Gives everything a chance to get nice and warm. Plus burns of any soot and coke deposits that have been building up.

I agree she needs to be driven but it boils down to time working 6 days and sleeping on Sunday don't leave much time for a weekend car. So leaves me 3 options sell, leave to rot or use for work. I would use for work but need to change insurance and suffer trippling my fuel bills. After Christmas down to sensible hours so have weekends back to enjoy her again. Maybe I just need to take for a blast and realise why I bought her in the first place.

That sounds like a good plan

Replaced the small bulbs above the rear number plate.

MOT today, failed on front radius arm bushes and track rod end.

Not huge jobs, but a pain never the less

Went there once, it was shut.

Today was a reasonably productive day!

Measured preload and fitted shims on the V8, preload is now 0.040", smack bang between the required 0.020" -> 0.060".
Fitted new vacuum hose from servo to inlet manifold (still waiting on that).
Fitted new fuel pump into tank and sorted out some fuel lines, got one more to replace before clipping it all into place.

Hopefully can get the boot floor supports in tomorrow then the boot floor can go back down! Then the interior goes back in! Can't wait!

Fitted new rear shocks this afternoon, fronts and track rod to do tomorrow, then get the tracking done, if I finish in time.

Checked the opening times, there open from 006am, till 1900, before they turn into zombies

Fitted rear stainless section exhaust (2nd hand) wasnt looking forward to the job, but it was very staighforward and not noisy well pleased.

Got it back on the road. Only to realise some scum bag has done this to it. I am aware it isn't exactly a concourse fresh vehicle, but what the ****?

Its a pity the a****holes have nothing better to do i hope they catch something nasty

It boils my ****. It is bad enough when I damage my vehicle, but when some ass clown messes with someone else's car. There is no excuse for that.

Jealous scum bags

I understand, but remember, you cant educate wood !

After being a bit down with her I went out and washed her this morning then took her for a spin was only out to bookers for some things and back. Stupid I know but I couldn't keep the smile off my face the whole time lol.
