What dogs do you have? Young English Springer and a Collie here. Both very active and happy to go for hours! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

United States 2013 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Lux Fuji White

Hey folks, new here from the US...longtime lurker, reader of this forum. Very educational and thanks for that.

I've got a MY 13 RRS and wondering if you have opinions on when it should get its first wax job. It was treated by the dealer with Resist All (don't know if you have that on your side of the pond) and some parts of it are wrapped (obviously won't wax those!).

Honestly, I can't remember when I waxed the 95 County for the first time, but now I do it 2x a year to keep the original paint looking good.

You can see my two favorite vehicles, old and new, in the gallery below. 2013 RRS HSE Lux, Fuji White w/Silver Pkg, 5.0 V8
Gone, but not forgotten: 1995 RR County Classic SWB, Arctic White

RRSTDV8, i think it has finally sunk in that you have bought your sport for its capabilities and not for its looks unlike most of us on here, and good on you. Thumbs Up


Been out today helping to unload pheasants in to their release pens. The tracks and field margins are a bit muddy after recent rains so it's looking quite mucky at the mo. I'll probably take it to the Poles in town next week for a quick run over with a pressure washer etc. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Scotland 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HST Stornoway Grey

Having just finished the weekly wash and wipe routine on mine I really think there could be merit in a lycra wrap stretched snugly over its shiny Zermatt surface to save on future hard labour.
