No stranger to the Land Rover fold. Just seem to come back for more punishment

So picked this beauty up on Thursday.




And promptly did this before going to work





Her ladyship not amused.... less than 48hrs and she had borrowed it . Says we should sell her C class and she can have it . Errr no.

Happy so far. New tyres this week and next week service and megaflush. Have promised not to spend too much tinkering with her

Who? Her Ladyship?  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Welcome back! Looks like a snug fit between the garage and the gates! 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue
2005 4.2L Supercharged Java Black - gone but was my first love.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Looks very nice. From your photo it looks like if ever you upgrade to a L494 Sport or a FFRR you'll need to upgrade to a house with a longer drive!  2010 TDV8 - current - my first RRS, loving it so far......
2005 Cayenne S - handling defied physics and what a sound, so sod the mpg!
1995 Disco TDI- surprisingly reliable, shame about the peeling dash & other trim
Lots of other non 4X4's in between times.........

Week before had them moved forward about a foot to line up with the extension....snug fit is an understatement Definitely a more luck than judgement went on here  Stornaway grey 2010 tdv6

Looking forward to the flush as gearbox felt slow in changing gears.... Stornaway grey 2010 tdv6

Gearbox flush and service done at AJ Landrovers in Alton / Farnham.

ARB bushes done at LDR in Bagshot. No more squeeking / creaking oh and the turbo mod done at the same time

Booked in to have the ACE bar replaced as it is weeping and the bushes could do with replacing.

Very happy with the service from John at LDR. Knowledgeable, reasonably priced and genuine all-round good guy. 👍 Now you can have your car washed next door and have fresh pastries and coffee which is a bonus ( nothing to do with him BTW, just on the same site)

Apart from the above she is a cracking motor and love it. Trip to Trimania in Wokingham to sort out the drivers bolster on the cards...just need to keep it low key from swmbo  Stornaway grey 2010 tdv6

So one speeding ticket later ...still loving the car.

Booked in to have the rear ace bar replaced as it is weeping and have the exhaust y gasket changed. Terrible fuel economy but then have found command shift and have been playing

Her ladyship seems to find any old excuse to borrow the Range Rover....including the old " left my sunglasses in the car, got the keys so might as well take it" excuse

Ah well the joys of a RRS... Stornaway grey 2010 tdv6
