I picked it up this morning and I'm in love its brilliant

Never driven such a motor before, the V8 is brilliant

I cant find anything to complain about, my only problem is the rear n/s light has condensation in it, can u split the lens off the housing to clean the lens etc??

Im gonna give it a proper wash/ detail over the weekend and will post up some pics asap

To sort the rear lens you need to take the light cluster off the car and remove the bulb holder assembly as if you were replacing the bulbs.
Handbook tells you how.
You can the empty some of the water and then dry the rest out by using a hair-dryer to heat the plastic surfaces up. If you can you are then better taking the light cluster into the house for the night.
You then need to seal the joint around the light cluster with clear silicon obtainable from Halfrauds.
To get a neat finish apply masking tape to either side of the joint, run a bead of silicon, smear flat and then remove the tape.
Allow to dry and refit.
You may find a bit of condensation for a few days but the light cluster is ventilated and this will disappear.

Good for you! It's been over a year for me, and I still love my FFRR, there's always the occasional challenge, but it's just worth it!

Watch out for the battery when you're detailing it! Any excuse and it'll go flat, turn off all the interior lights and keep the key out of the ignition when detailing!  Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

That all seems very long winded

When I had this problem a few years ago, and following recommendations here, I just drilled a very small hole in the underside corner to allow the sealed unit to breathe and never again did I see condensation
