Visited Perthshire to see family, thought I’d take a route less travelled. I mean, why not!!

Fitted a new quilted boot liner.

Collected it from the mechanics, two new rear brake callipers, PAS fluid change, and identification of the parking sensor that’s not working.

Also fitted the boot tray, dog guard and divider.

Fitted the improved LED reversing light bulbs. Much brighter indeed

Fitted a new reversing camera,bought from powerfuluk and works a treat,only £110 against nearly £400 from land rover,also fitted a new non return valve (actually a non return valve off a fish tank air pump) to my rear washers while the tailgate trim was off ,the washer fluid used to take ages to come through so well worth doing,a productive day.  2009 Vogue SE Zermatt silver

Fitted a smoked rear brake light (makes a massive difference to the look), fitted interior leds all round and replaced the bit of trim at the rear of the centre console which has the flap to hide the av/12v sockets as the flap had broken

Epsom Green- the dogs car which has worked it’s way into being the family car 😮

Supplies to repair fence after recent storm.

Did my Jeremy Clarkson impersonation, climbing up a hill to photograph some USAF low flyers in new F35 Lightning's from Lakenheath

Drove to Twickenham in the P38 yesterday to watch the rugby. No shortage of RRs funnily enough, at least one broken down on the M40.

Went to pick up my Westfalia tow bar with farmers hitch. Lovely run out. Just need to find 2 or 3 blokes called Jack to lift it into place. current l322 4.2sc, p38a 4.0 hse, x350 xjr, x308 xjr, x308 daimler super8, saab 93 convertible and a Transit. Most bases covered.

Replaced the headlight washer pump so now have working headlight washers! ( never worked since I had it ) Had good look underneath and around the suspension and it doesn't look in too bad a shape for a 10 yr old British car.... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Cleaned the interior after a trip to the Alps, so thats clean carpets, leather cleaned and leather balm applied and all hard surfaces cleaned and dusted. Smells much better now….

I cleaned my map and maf sensors. Happily the map sensor was pretty clean, so I assume my trusted garage cleaned it when they changed the plenum. Also had to refit my drivers side mirror cap and t-cut the large scuff off from the idiot whose van smacked my car with his van and knocked it loose. Also had to grease the tyre valve stems as the metal valve caps had seized on. Encourage alternative fuels, use all the petrol!
