I forgot the roolz....

After pics tomorrow if I remember

What you're looking at is a degraded laquer finish, needs sanding orf and buffed, like wot I didded.

2000g as a starting point is woefully inefficient, really need some 400 to start with then a few more grades in between, before 2000.
Farecla compound to bring back the shine.
May even re-laquer em.

The after pics added @Shimsteriom , not 100% but a vast improvement for 15 minutes work per lamp.
Some old laquer still visible on the o/s lamp though.

They are utterly useless, left one gift I had ordered in my garden waste bin half full of rotting grass. And another they lost completely, still awaiting compensation 3 weeks later

Is that another P38 I see in the side of yours?

Hmmm, a little tatty around the edges but a lot of car for £1500.

The description "Reliable 4 x 4 vehicle" made me smile.
Just put at least £3K to one side to keep it running.
Early L322's seem to be cheaper than some P38's, I wonder why?

Took her for a 200 mile round trip, to visit my sister. Checked the coolant before I left a little low. Topped her up . Other than yhat she didn't miss a beat. Don't be telling her how pleased I am with her these last months. Or she'll throw a wobbly and I'm still doing the London trips

Replaced off-side headlight and side-light bulbs.
Rather awkward so removed battery to get access...
New side-light bulb failed to illuminate. Will check it out in daylight tomorrow.

Probably why it is £1500!

This is one of my local roads... So this is why I love owning a Range Rover. And it hasn't even started raining hard yet or snowing. Unusual for here at this time of year.

we have some roads like that too

As you say had a flurry of snow yesterday didn’t lay, but nothing compared to what we thought was normal since we have been here.
That’s probably just jinxed it

wish I could afford to run the beast in Putney. So I guess you have to look at both sides of the coin.

I am due for my first fall tonight but will see what happens and if it does come will stay home. Not because the vehicle can't handle it, the bloody locals can't they still drive using the term loosely like children on the dodgems with the me first attitude at any junction or red light. Forget road rules in Russia, again another reason I love my range rover I feel safe from these nutters who can't drive. The agricultural towing hitch on the back has had its paint chipped a few times now.

Most of the content on Car Crash TV comes from Russia, some of it is spectacular.

Almost all drivers in Russia have a cam on their car, insurance insist on it, that's why you get all them vids on utube

Insurance does not insist on it, trust me I live here. its just they are crap at driving and parking and the Russian attitude of me first So don't get me started on how they get a licence my wife included.(that's how I know) I could get really in depth about how bad and under educated Russian drivers are from my own observations but it would take an whole other web page. Please as someone who lives and drives in Russia just love UK roads as they are and embrace the traffic police.
