United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Galway Green

I agree that we should all be a little prepared for these things as the brain can slow down when confronted with an accident scene. Good idea of Tim's re a blanket and space suit or two - stowed under the boot floor where I guess there's just room. A little job for the weekend Thumbs Up

In the claim culture we are finding ourselves in nowadays

I would be worried about inducing more serious injuries by moving the person Rolling Eyes

I knew a doctor who said she wouldn't stop or help if she came across an accident for fear of being sued Sad

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I've just used that well known search engine to find a foil survival blanket............... available for 60p each (plus P&P) from this website and the price includes VAT! I think it might be time for me to replace my 4 time expired blankets, never realised they were so inexpensive, but also I wonder why they have an expiry date, they are only vacuum packed foil sheeting?.

Re-useable blankets are also available but they somewhat more expensive. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Do you have the "Good Samaritan" act in the UK?

I was told while renewing my work First Aid that a person can't be sued here for giving aid even if they may have made the situation worse. I can't help, no room in my M3. I will just call the Ambos and let them deal with it.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I used to use the same place in my previous RRS's and FFRR's but the seats in RRS2 don't fold the same way as they did in RRS1 so that little secret well is no longer accessible.................. progress? Also there is hardly any space in the spare wheel well now and no polystyrene tool carrier moulding to utilise either. I have a "Luggage envelope" from my 1999 Freelander1 that I have recycled to use to stow all the smaller bits and bobs that there is no longer any storage for in the car. It has fitted all my Land Rover cars since 1999 except my Defender. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
