I will probably do a 05 facelift conversion with time, but first have to redo the kitchen. I dont like the grill that overlap the frontlights though. I was just wondering if there was a smartlooking upgrade for the horizontal one, or horizontal ones that looked good?

This should be fun, nonetheless!

You'd be surprised how easy it is to dismantle bits once you get going and pluck up the courage, as with any car.

For instance, I had to fix a broken PDC sensor mounting in my front bumper, and found that the bumper was basically held on with about ten screws.

I've never had an IID tool, mainly because by the time faults started appearing it was time to sell the car on anyway, so I got the Dealer to sort out any issues, as I have a very good Dealer relationship.

Having done things like swapping wheels on the RR, removing bumpers, trim, wiper motors, dash parts etc, it can be done. My limitation is time and strength, I'm not Mr Universe and RR parts are damned heavy!

If you have workshop space, the right tools such as high lift 3-5 tonne trolley jacks, axle stands, decent tools etc, it's easier. An Air compressor with tools is useful. I swapped out all the suspension on my Defender, one corner at a time, and it was only possible because I had 2 of most things, jacks, stands, socket sets etc. Discovery 4 HSE

It's size can help. Not with the weight of things, but for access.

My VX220 can be a real pain for access.

access is good but its a heavy mofo and requires decent tools and plenty of muscle.I do most of the work on mine in my yard so all possible but would like to add a compressor and airgun to my ever growing list of tools

Upgrade radiounit

Hi again,

Is changing the BM54 unit the easiest way to get an AUX-input in the car? How much must I spend to get it upgraded? I would really like to have the possibility to connect my phone or ipad to the car.

Is there a good way to get some more sound from the exchaust, without ruining the original look of the car?

M62B44 engine etc.

Picked up my new FF today. The car is amazing. Just one problem. The var has been standing for a month. So i think the dealer had to jump it. On my way home the suspension inactive poppet up. The car had a full inspection before christmas and the suspension should be In order. That leaves me to believe its connected to the battery. Have put a charger on it overnight, but is there a good way to reset the fault codes without diagnostics tool. Up In the mountains so can't Get a dealer to do it..

the dealer should have turned the steering wheel fully to the left and then fully to the right after the jump start, if he didnt then the errors will show..
i suggest disconnecting the battery and do this procedure , how to is in the wiki..
there is also the possibility that the battery is knackered..

Cold but lovely!

How about disconnecting the battery and taking it indoors and charging overnight?

Will do today!

Another question. One of my xenon headbulbs has a greenish shine to it when lit. Is it about to go out? Where do I order one at a good price?

Some more pictures!
