We went to pick up the car today - rear bumper now looks like new. As well as respraying the bumper, we also asked the guy to put new letters on front and rear (some peeling off, one had already dropped off). Rear now looks like a different car. Unfortunately, he messed up the front...

Don't laugh, but I actually thought this was a problem on my P38 when I bought it - I was so used to my Transporter's lighter being live all the time... :doh: Oh, and surely it's a cigar lighter in a Range Rover... :D

I went to Halfords which do a range of Bosch blades, but their book lists none for the rear of a P38. I've only found one Web site that says they sell a rear blade, and that was a Bosch SP18, which sounds like a generic blade - can anyone confirm that this is the right one?

The rear wiper blade on our P38 has just fallen apart. It's only just over a year old. I got it cheap on fleabay - so is it worth paying the approx £10 for a genuine blade?

Just bought M** JAN for the Range Rover (wife's name...) Considering getting Y6 KDS for the Transporter (yep, we have 6 of the :censored:)

Saw a number plate on a RR the other day: Y 4 LTR Made me smile

Thanks for all the advice (I can still hear all the "noooo"s) :) Talked to a mate who used to be a mechanic and now works for VOSA, and he recommended a local body shop. Just got a quote for £140 including paint, removal, repair and refit. Price may go up to £150 if the bumper is difficult to...

OK - went back to the place that did the front bumper (Clarkes at Kibworth) and they quoted £600 to remove, repair, paint and refit the bumper. So, trundled off to the main LR dealer in Leicester and got a quote for £365, which includes a paint guarantee. Again, this quote was to remove the...

I'm in Leicester.

It's already green. It has a little damage - scrapes and a few pock marks, nothing very deep - so will probably need a certain amount of filling/sanding. I had a quote a couple of years ago to spray (metallic silver) a new rear bumper, and refit the reversing sensors, on my VW Transporter...

How much should I expect to pay for respraying a P38 rear bumper in Epsom Green (i.e. body colour) at a bodyshop? I had the front one done about a year ago (free, thanks to a muppet in Asda car park) but the rear one now looks very tatty in comparison. Thanks!

I've got a smiley face on my tailgate release button. Does that count as a modification? :)

:D:D:D Several years ago, was emptying the bin in the garage (mostly fluff out of the tumble dryer) and a whole family of mice came out with the rubbish - mum and several kids. More recently, went into the garage after leaving the door open for a bit, and there was a fox sitting on top of my...

Don't forget the gold plated drip tray.

I've just checked the MoT history online (thanks to another post) and discovered that the MoT just over a year ago (when I bought the car) had an advisory: "Offside Front Ball joint has slight play". I haven't fixed this, and I can bet my last penny that the dealer who sold the car to me didn't...

Come on, guys, it was tongue in cheek.

Yep - exactly the same in N, D or 3. Today, vibration is less (hardly noticeable) but sound is louder (noticeable if radio isn't on). Decelerating from 80 gives constant sound until 72, then it goes quieter until it disappears at 70.

How about a Hummer off road driving experience :)

My 2000 4.6 P38 has developed a vibration and (as a relative novice) I don't where to start looking, so some help would be greatly appreciated. It happens when decelerating above an indicated 70mph. So, for example, if I go up to 70 and then take my foot off - nothing. But, if I go up to 75...

When's the wedding?
