2006 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Buckingham Blue

Put the FF into Mackie transmissions today for hot flush service. Its hard to say if the car drives any better, the box drove fine before hand, I would say it feels overall smoother but may just be sycological. What I will say however is on the drive home I tried deliberately at every junction/roundabout the roll out 2-1 thud and didn't do it once so over all very happy wallets a bit lighter but piece of mind now

On another note got my mud flaps on

Changed out the main interior bulbs for some nice white ones. The blue leds I had fitted previously looked horrible, these look much more like factory

Thought i would put up a quick update of some more bits and pieces i have been doing on the car.

changed the lettering to titanium much better looking and also removed the vogue and and land rover badge maybe not everyones cup of tea but i prefer it much cleaner looking

Finally picked up a dog guard off another forum member to keep the mutt at bay

also got around to sorting the handles out. the usual chipping/flaking. I have replacement handles from the previous owner but i attempted to remove the old ones and decided to quit before i broke something

and just paint the old ones. i saw some people advise not to paint the handles but in my experience if the paint is pealing its due to

paint job or incorrect plastic primer etc used by Land Rover i also noticed when i buffed of the old paint there appeared to be no primer underneath. anyway i will be careful with them and see how they go.

Here are some before and after photos. I decided to just use aerosols and found near exact match from Halfords ( rover grey ) then some satin finish lacquer. Very pleased with the end result, they were really starting to bug me !

Very nice. And the the state of the originals, you can't go wrong with a little bit of experimentation.
