Yeah, the white is nearly white again!
You need to roll north up the M1 for a proper test of your Range Rover :)
There's beer up here, and an ever growing number of tools....
Good luck mate!

The Duchess in her natural environment :)

Don't mess with anything, just leave it as Mr Land Rover intended. It's meant to be capable of going places lesser vehicles can't go. A lot of the modifications people do may be necessary on something like a Jeep but they aren't on a Land Rover.

Richard is a bit of a Land Rover zealot :)
With having a foot in each camp, I'm happy to report that Jeeps and Range Rovers are each very capable vehicles - just different flavours of the same ice cream :)

Excellent! And it sounds like Tom would be welcome to join the forum, if he's interested.

As you're off-roading in the US I'd recommend looking at a US forum. Offroading in the UK is not the same thing and doesn't leave you with the potential to be stranded two days walk from phone coverage.
The Cherokee forums: www.cherokeeforum.com have regional forums which should help you out. They don't need to know you're in a Range Rover :)

The kit lists they recommend tend to be on the apocalyptic side and often start with an AR-15 or similar but there's also some very knowledgeable people on there.

The Britpart rear sensor I ordered last year turned up in the dreaded blue bag but was marked with Dunlop logos. The theory is that Britpart order enough in one go for Dunlop to be interested in a producing a batch.

If it isn't practical to use the original paddle location, you could pipe the flow and use an Archimedes screw instead...

Sloth, any chance of that part number please?
I really want to get a valet key now :)
Cheers

If you're looking at colour coding I'd advise against the body coloured covers. Mine has them and they're a bit crap. They don't really match and they seem to mark up very quickly. I've left them on only because they still work and I'd imagine there will be some horrible adhesive residue left behind if I try to take them off.

Yep, that's buggered alright! :)

I still miss my E30 :(
but you can't go back....

The Duchess has passed her acceptance trial from SWMBO! After replacing most of the front end she now actually steers. At sodding last! OK, she's no E30 but she no longer throws you towards oncoming traffic at random intervals.

All I need to do now is get back to Marty for the driver's door latch because I got myself locked out again today - like an idiot.

Time to get a valet key cut, and a strong magnet. Luckily I have a large stack of dead hard drives at work. I'll hack into one of those and get a decent magnet there.

The only other thing I can think of is the tailgate itself - but if the boot carpet is dry then maybe not?

Surely that's just a conduit for water that is above the headlining? There's no access to the outside world via the interior light.
I'd suspect the sunroof again, or possibly the windscreen seals?

Mine does like to drip from the sunroof tray after heavy rain, I've rodded the sunroof drains (at summer camp) but they were clear. It's not a huge amount so I've sort of ignored it, but I might have to put it on the list if it gets worse.

Hahaah, that sticker made me laugh. Quality Sledging :)

Very nice!
Don't forget to install EAS ;)

Thanks mate!
Listerine eyeball doesn't sound like a picnic lol!

Great news! And I hope your foot is fixed too..

Did you ram a nappy up the gap?

I've had an XJS, you wouldn't........

True. A mate of mine loved his V12 XJS but eventually it broke his heart and he had to sell it.
Bearing in mind this is a guy who runs a fleet of vintage tractors, a boat, 4-5 modern "daily drivers" and didn't blink at paying someone to do a 2 year nut and bolt restoration on a Ford Dexter tractor worth about 50p, the commitment required to run an XJS must be immense!

Fixing the car! well, as long as I'm not stranded on a motorway :)

I've got eye piles, basically. My right eye had a blister under the retina* a few years ago that caused some vision loss, now that damage has had a blood vessel pop through it. They're trying to shrink it back with an injection of something called Avastin. It probably won't restore any vision but should stop it getting worse, which is a bit crap really as my right eye now has a very pronounced "Hall of Mirrors" filter.

Anyway, it was a bit less fun that I thought and now I've got a bloodshot and weeping right eye. I can deal with that but what I wasn't ready for was I'm not allowed to wear my right contact lens for a week and I can't do anything potentially mucky (ie crawling under a muddy P38 and whacking it wtth a spanner) for at least three days.
So, I'm sadly frustrated because I want to get in the Duchess and see if the Viscous has made a difference!
