Do you need the brackets that go behind the front inserts for the mudflaps? |

I'm trying to build a kit for the deployable steps, it's the folding brackets that I'm looking for unfortunately. They seem to be hard to get and very expensive |

As a change from rebuilding my L322 - this one came out of the garage for the first time in a while yesterday and was dropped off at the local specialist for it's 10 year service and 8th MOT.

You will understand my bias, but L322’ s in Baltic blue are stunning when sparkly clean and reflecting the sunshine.

I agree… one of my favourite colours for the L322.

We had an L322 convoy down to the local detailers on Wednesday evening to drop the 2012 off for a 3 day paint correction and ceramic coating.
I got a phone call from the detailer this morning to say the battery was flat on the car. It usually lives in the garage plugged into a C-Tek conditioner so has never given us an issue. It's worked well as it's the original battery from 2012 but presumably with the doors being opened and closed it's at the point where it's had enough. I took the battery charger down and plugged it into the towing socket so it can charge whilst it's there until we can get it a new battery. Here's a quick photograph taken inside his unit this morning ![]()
After 10 years, having never seen salt, snow or bad weather and having only covered 26k miles this car really does look perfect. The paintwork on it now is better then it was the day it was collected. The Baltic Blue paint is gorgeous 😍
It'll be collected tomorrow, driven home and put straight inside with the battery conditioner connected and now won't be used until Spring. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather 2012 Range Rover 5.0 SC Autobiography in Indus Silver with Jet/Ivory Interior 2012 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography in Baltic Blue with Sand Interior 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Black Edition in Santorini Black with Ebony Interior |

This must be the best condition L322 in the UK. Congrats!

Looks brilliant David, good luck keeping it that way, with the weather we’ve had up our way of late |

David, I'm sure I'm teaching you to suck eggs but make sure the underside, especially the brakes and suspension components are dry before locking it away, any water left there will corrode everything for months... |

When they go away wet I’ll usually run them around the block (6 miles) when it’s dry again. Thankfully the roads around here are too remote to get salted so it’s quite handy in some ways.

What a brilliant idea for preventing water spots as well after washing. Never thought of that. |

The main reason I do it is to remove the risk of adding swirls to the paint when drying.
