What did you do with your Range Rover today

I have one lined up as we speak. My auto box is funny on the upchange on 2-3rd, Lucas tranny fix worked 100% for 3 years but it's returned now. Doesn't do it on manual over ride though

That is common for old 4hp22's...

While I had some paint in the can i decided to repaint my slam panel, as it's rough scratched etc and the paint is peeling..

So i peeled the paint off






Stripped the front off.



Masked off the sticker and cut around to ensure no peeling paint.

Done.





Also gave the inner panel a coat of paint and lacquer.


'tis a bit dirty as it was done a few weeks b4

How many miles do you do? 3 years at 10k , 30k, I would change the filter and fluid and put some more lucas in anyway...
If its still sticky after that, drain some out and put some more lucas in after six months. It'll free it up if it is sticky valves. (Well it did mine!)

It’s only the solenoid you need if that’s same?

Probably better sending back and getting new unit. Think I mentioned mine was a 6series scrapper job works/fits

Not sure. Got too much junk as it is. Offered it to someone with a V8 but he wasn't interested so back it goes.

I can guess who

He do his brake lines after?

Finally got round to replacing the dash bulbs. Not had a working MFD for a long time, and since I am pacing around like an expectant dad for the parts place to open, I had to do something. I also found a lot of bodges behind the dash, such as the ducting for the heater vents have been badly taped together in the past and 90% of the air escapes behind the dash. I should fix it, but I also cba.

On the plus, it is handy being able to read the MFD again.

Really?

Went halfs with my neighbour on a STP air con kit. For me its made a right difference, Its bloody brilliant. Only thing is now I think I've caught a cold and cant stop sneezing with snotty nose Ah well at least the better half is happy

Turned off the auto reverse dipping wing mirror mode. Driving me mad everytime..!!

Well the air suspension compressor (Dunlop) has come could have fitted it today, but I thought tomorrow for some reason, I hope it works!!

If I bought 20 yr old p38 on flea bay tomorrow I would expect a book symbol
In all probability. It wouldn’t be a 9G Westminster neither. Even minor things flag it up, right pain if you don’t have a nanocom.

3D printed a satnav mount that could use an existing screw hole.

I have an Xgody smart phone £35 new, it's excellent, bought one for my wife too. Comes up on my service provider as an Alcatel 311, made by Xgody apparently, they were selling off the old 3G model cheap as production shifted to 4G. As 3G has only just arrived where I am, 4G is of no interest.

It was about £60 with free map updates for life. Just a shame they haven't got any new maps to update it with.
