England 2015 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Lux Auto Fuji WhiteDiscovery 4

Car was ex LR fleet, originally intended for LRE but instead spent it's life picking up VIP''S from Airport & taking them to Gaydon & hotels. Took a long time to source including long chats with the head of LR Fleet Management who kindly helped me to source it before it went to auction, she was also looking for a car sitting in a pound waiting to go to LRE.

There were various comments that I'd heard/seen re no active diff because....... all utter tripe, best ones were because of rear ent system & the Lux was too heavy

Only got a brief glimpse of your new motor last Sunday before you departed but thought it looked the business with all the mods Thumbs Up , I especially liked the mud flaps and was going to ask where you bought them from as the rigid ones on mine are bound to get smashed off.

Just buy Defender 90 ones then cut to fit. Easy, mine are cut to fit then attached with self tapping screws.

Hi MJD3

The rear ones on jesters are from Bowler motorsport and are about 3.5 to 4 inches longer than defender ones, I have the same ones to fit to mine when I get round to it and also plan on some defender ones on the front as with the LR ones it still throws a lot of dirt up the side steps.

I really miss that now I've gone dark again. There's a big safety element to Fuji white Shocked

Thanks for the photo and information regarding the mud flaps Thumbs Up

Sudds, You'll have to put some pics on the forum when yours are fitted.

Well Santa came & as I have been very, very good he brought me something extra special. Had them fitted just before Icefest. Forgot to add on here.





Frosty off for some paint at the end of the month,one step closer to where I want to be.

Slowly getting there. A few subtle paint changes, mulling over something else in the paint dept though may try a little wrap 1st.
A couple of bits to be done inc finalising the Aux battery fit/mount, however;
