Washed it then waved it goodbye for 2 weeks as the missus and littlun drive to the south of France for a holiday. And I'm left with her Astra. How did that happen?

^ That's just plain wrong...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Sat looking at another scratch to the nearside door, wondering why folk cannot open a car door without bashing it into another?

I drove 200+ miles back from Somerset with the tin tent on the back and she performed faultlessly again

Because they've no thought!

I've got my repaired speedo back in this am and enjoyed being able to see the info in the message centre for the first time in over a year.  2003 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 on Gas

After almost two and a half years I've eventually worn out the tyres that came with my FF. The sport wheels it came with aren't a bad design (they look even better when clean) but the low profile tyres were not to my taste at all.





So I decided to go back to the old school 7 spokes with a little more rubber attached to them (many thanks to Mr Tee)

Much better.

Last night I replaced the silica gel in the suspension compressor hoping this would resolve the suspension warning keep pinging
It didn't so I have now ordered the piston seal kit as the original kit I got from bagpipe Andy wasn't compatible with my compressor, hopefully this will resolve the issue especially as the current one only just touches the sides
I have also fitted the LED halo DRLs to the front fogs pictures to follow  2005 Range Rover Vogue with Supercharged Accessories

Replaced two power steering hoses to get rid of the weep that's been bugging me for months.

I love the smell of Gunk in the morning

Went to the doctors then to the chemist to pick up what would look like a couple of bags of shopping but not from there to my second home Costa's ( my second home as am billy no mates ) then to the car wash for a bit of TLC that I so wish I could do myself but can't , hey ho such is life and this beast of a car still drives like a dream

And after 2 years 2 months it still looks awesome

But nobody wants to buy it , Maybe I am asking to much but as far as I am concerned its worth every penny
