Indeed, after having back surgeries was laid up for months and couldn’t do anything , plus every year regardless of the mileage today at the garage all the oils filters etc are being replaced , fuel filter as well as that was replaced 2017 , apart from the ATF oil as mechanic who I trust doesn’t like touching auto boxes

Know it’s a bit of an overkill but always like to do them every year for peace of mind

Originally lifted an old netaheat boiler then twisted , smashing 5 x discs then me passing out with the pain , so had to be fused and still in constant pain, but doesn’t matter as the sun is out and tomorrow is another day

that is some serious structural steel-work! Tougher than a Defender chassis? (And hopefully more corrosion-resistant...)

Yesterday we took on the Bealach Na Ba road in Scotland.. quite a remarkable road that is a destination in and of itself:

Something smelled hot at this stage, but made it down to Applecross and had a lovely lunch - even helped a chap with a D5 who had a flat.. what a place for one!

Removed the bonnet lettering , used a rubber wheel and some compound , got to give it another go when the sun isn’t directly on the bonnet as can just see the letter outline

cleaned windows and found using a Stanley blade got rid of the old glue from window tints that I removed

Seen one of my headlights has condensation in it, will have to remove and see if the bulb holders are allowing water in

Windscreen scuttle and A pillar trim I painted doesn’t look too bad

A fabulous road that we add to our annual highlands tour every other year or so, as have many on here in the past. I believe many forum members camped at the far side in Applecross Thumbs Up

@ gstuart

Good job...... but are you not puting any lettering back on? Confused

Reckon it needs it ...... and it just so happens I've got some black ones listed in the FS section that would suit it nicely. Wink

Hi Ron

Many thks and heads up ref the letters , but to be honest prefer the look , also rebadged the tailgate

Indeed know it’s down to personal preference

Never know may change my mind down the line Whistle

Just been reading up what’s involved removing the orange headlight part , no oven so looks like it will be a hot hair gun

Poland 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Auto Loire BlueDiscovery 4

I have finally upgraded my steering wheel to wooden one as I hate sticky steering wheels

some steps

1. air bag removal is pain unless you remove paddle sifters which gives you clear view of wire sercuring air bag to the wheel as per picture:

Click image to enlarge


2.remove ground and SRS cables making sure you know which one goes where later:

3. Before undoing middle screw remove / disconnect white connector

4. Remove middle screw (pretty tight so second pair of hands is welcome unless one has long legs to keep wheel between knees Wink
Click image to enlarge


5.Make sure clock spring remains where it was and do not turn it:

Click image to enlarge


6. Transfer all bits to new wheel: and attached back to the column

Click image to enlarge


the tree screws holding the what i think is some sort of counter weight are pain to screw back in with self tapping screws
7. final result

Click image to enlarge


very happy with the product
