Got a good trade in price for my SC and had a disagreement with a dealer over the purchase price of a 2010 4.4TDV8 that I wanted to buy.

Thursday I had the exhaust repaired at the clamp above the Cat, the clamp had split and the exhaust was blowing so I took it to my local stainless steel exhaust manufacturer and he sorted it out by cutting the exhaust and unbolting the exhaust from the turbo, drilling out the seized bolts, fitting a new bracket and putting it all back together. Cheap repair at £50 compared to the price of a new silencer.

Today I removed the tensioning idler on the alternator belt ready to fit a new one when it arrives


Some day I will be completely caught up on all the small niggling faults on this FFRR

Cleaned all the cow excrement from the wheel arches and sills. Oh joy

Polished the exhaust tips with Autosol!

Refueled it. 98 litres. Got a token for a cup of coffee, which I had with two apple Swiss things.

Waitress flirted, but she's 20+ years younger than me so I thought I was delusional.

Drove home and installed my new bath.

Did this to an old woman's car.

Not so good, what sort of mess is the FFRR?

Not quite as bad as that.

Thing is there's a big mark all the way down the side. Seems it rubs off though so I'm not sure how much work will be needed.

Will have a look in the light tomorrow.

Ran full diagnostics on faults with my newly acquired RSW All Comms and identified a leaking suspension airbag, so the RAC paid for itself today! .

That's if all goes to plan ...  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

Pressure washed a ton of muck off the underside of the car, and gave it a good wash and polish - damn, what a fine looking car they are. A cup of tea or two later after admiring the results of my efforts, got the fair weather Michelin tyres taken off and put the Pirelli Ice & Snow tyres on ready for another winter... just now watch for the mildest winter in years  Range Rover TDV8 Vogue SE
