Today was tailgate Thursday, lots of little jobs I never find the time to do, but today there was no excuse.
1. Fixed the rear washer, I now have water on the rear screen for the first time in months
2. Removed the flapping number plate, cleaned off all the old useless double sided tape and replaced it with stuff that actually sticks
3. Another attack on the tailgate rust, treated and painted
4. The most important job, a new FFRR sticker to replace the 5 year old one that had mostly disappeared

Fitted these bad boys as a bit of preventative maintenance. Keep the old ones in the boot just in case.

Fitted a new front offside CV joint - tw*t of a job

Finally fitted the Homelink rearview mirror and linked it to my garage door. Was a bit of a job, the spender mirror was without the sensor for auto high beam which means dismantling both and switching parts, fiddling two wires up to the sunroof motor to get a solid 12V feed. Works perfect now.

Recieved my flappy paddle mod kit yesturday thank you guys.....still waiting for the paddles from powerful UK only x2 days late way to go royal mail, they even txt me ..royal mail that is to say my parcel would be here by 4pm 2 days ago doh

When I took steering wheel off to do mine found it better to turn wheel to about 5 past 7 to 10 past 8 sort of angle then key out wiggle wheel until steering lock engages (mine wont lock with wheel straight) then air bag off and bit of masking tape on cowl and pencil mark angle of wheel on tape (powerful do same sort of thing in youtube video but wheel straight) my way there is no way steering shaft can move and pencil mark means every thing got to be same place it came off, and its great bit of kit you wont regret doing the mod I even flick the down paddle when braking for traffic lights.

Looking at powerful UK video on the steering wheel it looks like their are x2 off set locators as well as a shaped bose fit. I did see the tape trick they used. If my paddles turn up tomorrow I will fit everything

I’ve got the flappers on my ATB strangely I have yet to really use them. Use them a ton on my M5 though...that glorious rev matching on the high revving v10 :drool: 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC
2008 FFRR (sold)
2008 BMW M5

Three things that have needed doing since the RR came home; exhaust-towing eye-tow hitch.
Lockdown has given me the incentive to get these done. High temp matt black for the exhaust & spray Hammerite for the tow bits. Really impressed with the spray black hammerite.

Fitted new upper tailgate gas struts from Advanced Factors that I'd bought ages ago
Definitely improves the lift sensation  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
2025MY Defender D350 90 in Silicon Silver on coils
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"
Many, many other Landies over the years

Fitted a full set of gas struts to Bonnet and tailgate, (Brill now that the bonnet stops falling on my bonce when I check the oil....) and hand-cut the paintwork then polished it to within an inch of its life. Like Glass now, but cant drive it to show it off!
Full interior valet too with carpet clean. So satisfying. Now looks even better than when I bought it! Big thumbs up for Simoniz carpet and upholstery cleaner. I was dubious to start, but fair play, my beige wilton has come up a treat.

Si.
