Lockdown project thread

To lighten the mood a little during our lockdowns, I thought I'd start up a thread for those who want to share what they are getting up to.

Any projects, tasks etc? Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

This is the RRS forum, Martin. Unlike the Disco boys, this lot will be spending the next three weeks micro-cleaning, waxing, polishing every visible surface inside and out of their RRSs. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Unfortunately, I have no faults or maintenance to do at the moment so it's reluctant DIY on our hall, stairs, landing and downstairs loo which I started about 2 years ago Kev

C5 ceramic coating,once applied makes cleaning the wheel easier.

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Cairns Blue

I’ve just my car back from spending the kids inheritance on a service and rectification work, they even cleaned it. When I heard that Cobra was meeting yesterday, we jumped at the chance and got a load of wood from Travis Perkins and we’re making a covered Pagola over the existing decking. I’m still working and none of us have been told to stay at home yet, although our shifts have changed. So off shift we’re building. Had a great day in the garden today especially in this weather. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Tangiers Orange

Unfortunately both me and the wife still working full time, keep hoping my boss will close the garage like lots of others are so I can go home, then I can get the polish out

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver

I'm on 12 week isolating & loving it as long as the good weather lasts & walking out is allowed, nice leisurely breakfast each morning then a walk with Buddy the Boxer dog for an hour or two ( in the middle of nowhere so no contact with anyone) back for coffee bit of gardening then Scrabble with SWMBO moved house two years ago so everything done indoors. RRS & Scooby all clean & tucked away in the garage.
Might be boring for some but after a life in the Services & HMPS I love it. But everybody please Stay Safe 😎

I've had a 30ml bottle of C5 for near 2 years, just never got round to applying it. Last year I had one of my wheel sets refurbed so I'll apply the C5 before fitting tyres, how much should I expect to use on a set of 9 spoke 20" wheels? I expect I'll be applying with those makeup pad things. 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine
