And we have a years mot on the card. Just gotta do the brake lines as they was an advisory but I can live with that. Added a few little touches recently like led puddle lights, led interior lights well some of them. I've ordered the led kit from powerful as I'd rather decent fitting leds and not the quick replacement job ones. Just need too figure out why the main map light ain't sitting properly.

Still first thing I done with the range was go and pick up a friends car that's just had major heart surgery and take it down too the sea front for him. I've forgotten how comfy these motors are when your towing a trailer.




And here's a reason why you should always check the trailer so I'd say that's due a new set of tyres....

Well haven't been on here for a while as I've been pretty busy working ridiculous hours to just try and get by. Range has been earning its keep with me.



Didn't tow this very far as it was just way to unstable on the trailer.


Anyways no real massive updates with the range rover but I've had the windows tinted which sets it off quite nicely. Just need too fit the tinted rear brake light next. Biggest expense was getting a blackvue dashcam set up fitted into the car.




Done an oil change few days ago on the car and guess what this pratt decides to do with the oil. Look below and you shall see

Good to see your car is behaving, Bean

I've seen a lot of people talk about the Caldoofy intakes on Facebook but when people have fitted similar things to the XFR's there's actually been a power decrease.

There's been a few video's with before and after dyno runs done and the plastic one from Jaguar is more efficient so I'd not throw money at one of those tbh.

Decent all round car that's for sure. As I say too a lot of friends as long as you can ignore the fuel bill then they are pretty decent cars to be honest. Fairly straight forward too work on as well if I'm honest.

That's interesting too know, maybe I'll keep the stock air intake for it but I'll be getting it on the dyno run before and after I've had the supercharger snout done and the remap so I can see what gains have been done

Whilst I was doing my top end rebuild I rebuilt the Supercharger with new bearings in the case, new bearings in the snout, and I went for a 6% pulley too.

My snout needed a fair trimming to fit the 6% pulley so I sent it back to Powerhouse to be done. Haven't driven it yet but it certainly sounds nice and quiet now.

If I'm honest I'm inbetween two minds on what too do with the supercharger as I really wanna go for the 10lb one for bigger performance gains with a remap. Its mainly for the towing side of things and making it slightly more fuel economical but I'm thinking do I just drive up to powerhouse, leave it with them and go for a wonder round the town for a few hours or do I get the whole snout delivered too me and change a few other bits as well. I'm suspecting the air con radiator is goosed as I had it regassed and a week later it was dead again so thinking maybe doing the air con radiator, the main radiator, belts, tensioner and the snout all in one go.

This is why I'm looking at a power upgrade


Another drunk purchase

how many times will you pull a bus......................?

It’s a Transit so probably more often then you’d think!

To and from the welders when the MOT has run out probably

Mr Glover

More often then I'm gonna being pulling a new girlfriend anytime soon hahaha

David

Hahaha I can't argue with that tbh. It's going to need a fair bit of treatment already but it's something else too keep me busy I guess.

Picked up a welding set so time to get some practise in I guess. This was my first attempt with some gas welding

At least now you can audition 16 girl friends at a time and whittle them down to 3 or 4 that’ll fit in the SC  2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Well that comment certainly made me laugh 😂

Not bad on welding for 1st atempt

So time for an update on this heap I reckon. As I'm keeping it long term, I'm not massively fussed on how good the body work presents within side the doors as they ain't seen and I don't think little lottie (daughter) really cares at the age of 10 months old hahaha.

Start of the day involved shifting the subaru to allow more space at home to do the work, connect up pull trailer out and turns out the brakes are locked on. Learned that the hard way. Bye bye brand new tyre!!!!





So anyways as per usual the arches on this one are on the way out and I've got the mot shortly so figured I best get it all sorted while I can.

Spent a few quid recently on a few parts including new sills from Chris
