Finally after more than a year, repaired the plastic tabs on my lower tailgate trim last night. 2mm aluminium strips glued with Sticks Like SH*T. All nicely bonded, and re-installed just now. The cover has been flapping for ages.

Sounds like you need to offer some beers in exchange for a bit off help, after helicopters a RR will be easy :vb-tup:

One of the pipes looks out of line kiddo, once they're both placed the aluminum bracket on the rear can be brought towards the collar with the screw through it and nipped up. My advice, (although not worth shït apparently) walk away have a few...

Coming out of Tesco's this afternoon had to stop to let pedestrians cross. There were 2 oriental lads beaming and smiling at the Rangie. They both got their phones out and started taking pics. Then stood there giving me the thumbs up sign with...

If the motor runs, but doesn't unlock there's probably stripped gears inside. Most P38 latches suffer failing microswitches, but the motors do fail - mainly the brushes. I have repaired some of mine. There's about 6 or 7 screws holding...

They take up the space at the sides behind the wheel arches when you have the ridged boot liner, so not fixed in place.

MOT passed 😄
