It's a road I used to live in at the time I joined the forum so nothing to do with my name at all.

Does everyone giggle like a small boy when they take a Range Rover off the road for the first time? It's certainly a memorable moment for a new owner.

Thanks for that. You live in a lovely area up there over the border - the plains are a great place to be out and about. I find myself in the South of Wiltshire a lot, one of my top walking spots is the country park and surrounding land at Stourhead, there are some great forester's tracks through large areas of woodland near there which are fun to explore by RR as well as on foot. |

Are the Stourhead tracks legal byways? Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I wouldn't dream of driving into National Trust land, privately-owned land without permission, along footpaths or anywhere there were homes, walkers, cyclists, fragile wildlife or crops. Forestry commission land is also prohibited of course but the many miles of logging tracks are carved out by far heavier machinery than Range Rovers and there are areas in which you don't see a soul all day... say no more. All I know is that it's best to stay on the road at all times if you want to ensure no rules, laws or by-laws might be broken... |

It seems pretty common to lose a headlight lens on a Mk 3 to road debris judging by the various threads on the subject. Something hit one of mine hard last month, piercing the glass and allowing water in. I had to wait to replace it until I could find a decent used item... I figured that if I bought a nice shiny new one, I'd have to change the other side to get them to match. That would cost maybe £200 and involve chucking away a perfectly good part so I paid £40 for an old one and finally got it fitted last weekend in between rain storms.

You have got me wondering (great write-ups BTW!) about the headlight damage issue...

Wouldn't the headlamp wipers rip any covers off? |

Good point re headlamp wipers, though maybe as the film is best applied with a squeegee then it shouldn't tear?
