I'd of happily paid twice that to not have warm air thrown at me...........

Apparently if you remove all the 1234 you can fill the system with 134 if you can get the correct adapters for the fittings....  Pete

All sorted now, I get 4 days to use it and it will then stay on the drive for 58 days while we are in Spain....  Pete

After all that work, I’d be cancelling the flights and driving it to Spain  2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

I'd be driving to Spain anyway much more enjoyable, and better than seeing all that work go up in flames in an airport carpark....

We used to regularly drive down to Algeciras to catch the ferry to Ceuta and then on into Morocco - great times.

you've tortured your body doing that and you deserve a nice holiday Pete..  ... - .- -.

We did drive down a couple of years ago in the 5.0 S/C it's a 3,100 mile round trip, with fuel (even in the 4.4) ferry, tolls etc it's significantly more expensive than flying, we have a car parked at the airport so it's just so much easier, door to door in around 5 hours, down to the beach and have a beer...

We still plan on driving to see the northern lights sometime soon and I'm researching doing Route 66 so plenty of driving coming up... can't decide between a Stang and Motels or a Winne and camp for Route 66 at the moment...

Fatty will be OK on the drive and at least it won't be dripping it's fluids everywhere, and yes Stan, my back is a bit delicate at the moment....  Pete

A while since I updated this thread...

Fatty sat on the drive for October and November while we were in Spain, started on the button after 58 days, then ran around in the salt for December and luckily it was dry for a few days before we left for Asia early January so I managed to rinse it off and get it dry before it sat on the drive till early March, I left it on a trickle charger and it started fine but I think the auxiliary battery has died as the boot did it's little dance a few times, I guess it charged back up ok for a while but it's doing it again now so I'll have a look after we get back from Dorset where we have come for a few days...

Took an arty shot of fatty where we are staying...




Weekend in Durham next week so fatty is earning it's keep....

Nothing else to report apart from what a nice place to sit....  Pete

Car is looking great, Pete.

When you look after them well, there’s not much that comes close to an RR, is there.

My SC hasn’t needed any spannering since between Christmas and New Year when I sorted the gearbox. I’m now looking for something else that needs fettling to keep me occupied.  2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Decided to sort out a few issues under the bonnet, the worse being the foam seals from the air intake in the top of the wings and into the bonnet... the mice had a go at it before I bought it, probably during Covid. They were also badly split. They are not handed they just fit the other way up




They are held in with four plastic trim clips that are very tough, it took a trim removing tool to pop them out...

Just had to tax it again so that's 2 years of ownership....

Not a lot to report, nothing that would have been covered under a JLR warranty has failed so now I am £3,400 up on the "fixing it" fund... The two years of not buying a warranty gamble has paid off so far... I've replaced a few bit's under the bonnet as posted earlier and ended up buying a new battery due to a faulty battery tester...DOH...

Just picked up it's latest mod, a replacement fuel tank guard, it's an excellent used one from dnt on here, sandblasted and fully hot dip galvanised, should last 30 years +
