Went sand dune bashing and then a spot of fishing at Wilbinga about an hour north of Perth , challenging to say the least with low profile tyres and with DSC off I felt like I had too much power at times but a laugh all the same .

Amazing pics! FFRR looks a bit odd next to the other two

Funny as I had mine parked next to a Patrol today as well, even took these two quick pics to show how these two show different 4x4 approach. Not quite your background though.

Steve, put the car in off road height and try the handbrake then in access height... You should find the latter will be rubbish in comparison! Just the way they are I’m afraid & the reason the electric handbrake was developed...

Thanks for that Craig, I shall try the above and see.

Brake pad warning light came on. Front has had uneven wear on the pads due to sticking calliper on passenger side but certainly not down enough to rub through warning sensor. Any way, new pads and wear sensor wire on front and Bill Oddey warning light still on. Checked rear shoes and not low enough to trigger sensor device. Have ordered new wire for back just in case. Any one know how to turn brake warning light off ?

Also put UV dye in to oil as there is a leak from some where towards the drivers side of the engine, drip collecting on under tray and has certainly splashed around a lot underneath. cleaned off as much as possible and stood underneath with UV torch.... beggar all to see !!! Not a rapid drip so will need to run it a few days and return underneath with light. Recently done rocker gasket on that side yet it's bone dry all around the rocker cover.

Took SWMBO and daughter to beach at St Anne's.

After Building Sandcastles, Donkey Rides, and Ice Creams SWMBO was happy.

150 mile round trip, returning 22mpg and never missed a beat.

Saturday - day out at Manchester Airport

Technical Tours of Nimrod and Concorde - proper Man's Day full of detailed facts and numbers.

Went on a 600 odd mile round trip up to Bolton to view an XK, whilst I was there I had someone view my Range.. Car didn't miss a beat at all.. Makes me want to keep it..

Then today I get a offside front airbag failure..

At least it didn't happen in Manchester I suppose ..

iKushtyy - your first post had me reminiscing and thinking of returning to a ff, your second post changed my mind again !!! There is no doubt i will get another at some point but just wouldn't be suitable for me at the moment Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Changed diff oils and coolant. Easy with no dramas .

Thanks to @Haylands advice.,.. 80deg kit fitted - No hammers were used in the fitting. lower temp reduce stress on engine (sounds more relaxed) and hopefully plastic components will live longer. Also reduced temp hopefully less pressure and less leaks.
