Just had it's 334,700 mile service and MoT (again no advisories ).

I think I have just about sorted the main items picked up in the 2019 article; paintworrk, rear door arches, replaced the upper tailgate and wheels. Also added a second battery, Westfelia tow-bar and removed the illegal tinted glass film. 2010 Range Rover TDV8 Baltic Blue Autobiography (2011 MY) - SOLD

Have to sell my FFRR


Full JLR service history from new, two owners and no MoT adviseries / first time passes since 2019 when I bought it.

All the things noted in the article that made it a "true 40 footer" have been sorted along with 4 new tyres (in order to avoid an advisory on last year's MoT).

I am taking my 1960 Land Rover SII, but the FF is a "no go" because it does not meet the USA emissions control regulations.

The SII is exempt as it is over 25 years old. 2010 Range Rover TDV8 Baltic Blue Autobiography (2011 MY) - SOLD

Well I am now in North Carolina and my FF sold.

The new owner is on Instagram and may post updates under "work@samsdetailinguk".

I enjoyed my time with my FF and with knowing it is in a better condition when I sold it than when I got it.

Whilst I sold the FF remotely and never meet the new owner, I understand it is in good hands!

All the best! 2010 Range Rover TDV8 Baltic Blue Autobiography (2011 MY) - SOLD

I am the new owner Toby!!!

My list to kick things off is actually quite short at the moment:

Few of the leds upgrades need sorting as they either flickering or dead
Polish the two front windows
Refit tailgate trim
Replace oil cooler

It's running like a champ, I've done 400 miles in it so far.

Hello Sam!

Congratulations on your new purchase, I hope you will love my old FF as much as I did.

Looking at your start list of jobs:-

1 Few of the leds upgrades need sorting as they either flickering or dead - Yes, my "upgrading" of the interior LEDs was not as good as I had hoped!! Check on here for advice on purchasing better quality LEDs.
2 Polish the two front windows - When I got the vehicle it had illegal tinting on these windows. I am afraid I just got out a heat gun and removed the film, polishing should help.
3 Refit tailgate trim - I have tried a few times to refit the trim after the replacement of the rear tailgate. As you have spotted, I did not have great success. NB I think the rear heated screen is not operational so you may want to replace that before doing the trim.
4 Replace oil cooler - Have a look at the various RoverTune invoices for info on the oil leak. Might be worth giving them a call as they looked after the vehicle during my ownership.

Good luck with your ownership, I think you got a good deal on your FF, but still a work in progress I guess.

Thanks for that, extremely helpful!

On a side note, did you ever change the transmission fluid? I can see it was changed about 150k ago and I am in two minds.

I think I'd be tempted to change just the oil on its own every couple of weeks mixing clean oil with dirty oil so the transmission doesn't get a shock to the system and then finish it was the a final filter and oil change if everything is fine.
