Hasn't broken, just changed the sidelight bulbs as one of the LEDs was flickering. Had to remove the headlights, which meant removing the grille but all nice and simple.
New reg on it also, half matches the TT but couldn't get the letters in the order we wanted. Still our initials though and better than the other English reg that it came on.
Then took it to Belfast for a kebab

They are like a big Lego set aren't they. I changed the side grills in mine and I had to pop the lower skirts off, literally pop off in your hand lol .
I've a set of steps to go on mine, got some hawk ones and they are really good quality and dirt cheap

Some bus! Whats the arguments for jag engine over BMW?

Broken record much lol?
From what I read the Jag is slightly smoother and more economical, plus seems to be a wee bit easier to live with from a maintenance aspect.
Main reason for me was the later ZF 6 speed box, though its not Bulletproof it does seem a lot better than the GM unit.

When the record is changed I’ll stop.
Sounds similar to the E53 X5, the GM box was in the early models and is deemed to be fairly dire, and the ZF is in the facelift models. Other than a jerk when coming up to a stop they seem a lot more reliable.

That’s lovely. Was actually my first choice of colour, but wife wanted black. I hate black cars ffs!

I was actually after a black range but this one came up and it was in lovely condition so had to have it. Put the 22 inch stormers on it and that's all I'm doing.

At the end of the day all cars go wrong.... I own my range rover outright.... Some people pay hundreds a month for a car so even if something goes wrong every month with mine (which it doesn't) I'm still quids in. This is my logic lol

3500miles done so far so thought I'd update this.
Still loving it. Wouldn't start for the wife when I was away, she couldn't even jump start it though ancillaries were powering up OK. Just a few faults coming up on the dash then nothing when thebkeybwas turned to start.
I stuck a new battery in when I got home and thought that had fixed it, but once every 20/30 starts or so it just doesn't fire. Once I had the same message that she was getting "HDC fault" "transmission fault" and something else and it wouldn't start. Cycled the gears to drive and back to park and it started.
Narrowed it down to either starter motor or transmission ecu plug corroded through googling and reading forums so we'll play it by ear.
Other than that it's doing just fine. Averaging 16.4mpg for anyone who wants to daily one. Had it down the beach today so took a quick snap.

Cool big bus! Can you actually get down onto the beach at Tyrella still? I thought it was all shut off a few years ago. We used to have a mobile home right at the north end of the beach in the 80s. Did a fair bit of driving around on the beach with my dad when I was no age.
