Looks grand Dunc. I've been looking for a fair while now and must say I discounted that one on the interior. Good to know its better in the flesh than the photos. I just couldn't get excited about it. The rest is bloody lovely though and you are quite right to be very happy. Quite jealous!

Getting very excited now. Picking it up at 11:00 on Monday.

Picked it up this morning, taxed it and drove it to work. me, it's quick!

I'm used to 2500 rpm being 70mph in my D2. It's a touch faster in this beast!

Loving it, though. So comfortable and easy to drive.

Where was the oil leak they fixed? I'm curious if it was the oil cooler gaskets/O rings...

It was the oil cooler gaskets. All sorted now, new MOT with no advisories, full service and half a tank of fuel in it when I picked it up.

I'm guessing you're somewhere around the Steep/Petersfield/Rogate area.

Have to meet up next time I'm either at my mother-in-law's or my sister's!

The transformation starts! I dislike chrome on Range Rovers. I know some people love it but I'm not one of them so on mine, it has to go, starting with the splitter:

Looking good I’ve always liked a red leather interior on a car Holland and Holland Range Rover By Overfinch

Fitted the wind deflectors this afternoon.

Wheels look lovely mate. Are they like a gunmetal? I'm opposite to you. I'm chroming mine up slowly. Lol.

They're Dark Shadow Chrome. Had them done at Wheelfurb in Tamworth. They did a cracking job on my D2 and have done an equally good job with these.

I highly recommend them.
