Cleared 1k miles in this since it landed and have some of the second tank left. It’s been reassuringly boring. What it does need is a spare wheel jack and wheel brace in that plastic thingy so if anyone is binning a polo or a golf I guess give me a shout before the scrappy arrives please. Will exchange for cash etc.

Deja stuff once more. Tomorrow’s fun around the garage.

Replaced already with slightly larger one and starting fine. Back to decorating

Blob of crap on screen def ripple

Safely back just checking the battery. Alternator is good Battery as disclosed is not.

Think more escort encore, well an encore anyway.

No pugs err

Train three has been mounted

Jesus that was an absolute steal. Dave’s balance sheet must have been dangerously close to green.

Bookmarking this thread for part numbers and tips. Excellent work sir.

This one will no doubt have all the niggles nobbled and then I’ll sell it.

Redemption today after rescuing and tow starting my master Luton like it wasn’t there today.

In the style of no photo spotted thread have an imaginary picture of my 2.5 master Luton who also decided its battery was dead today. 3 smashing cold hours later and Mrs b to the rescue in her Range Rover! Outstanding pull start. Hoping it’s just the battery. Will try a new one tomorrow

Does towing them add a charge?

Discretionary (attempted) repair today. Reversing camera. Glue hiding a wobbly plug Aha Back two pins need soldering back on. Now where is that iron?

2 new lada nivas In the past, 4 new lada nivas.

Created a pin out of a piece of copper brake pipe flattened at both ends to fit the wrong blade so Mrs B is mobile again. All back together.

Clips landed but whole scuttle trim had to come off. Wasn’t terrible just awkward. On the plus side Amazon sent the wrong wiper blades so off to halfrauds in the morning.

Range Rovers really are great. As per usual the wiper linkage has popped off in the centre. Broken blades check. Bent arm check Great Some of those repair clips were ordered last night from bezos along with a pair of new blades, so if that is it resolved then not a terribly expensive if not inconvenient thing. Of course I will be doing this in the dark. Total cost of pain to date. £134 Battery £110 Wiper blades £20 Linkage clips £4

FTP1 well that was fast. Suspect crap battery or leak on something. No booster pack foolishly left at home as only 1.5 hours away in Menai. Arse Ahh he’s a very nice man. Battery is 48% so replacement ordered. Excuse finger. £110 bargain for a quality item. Drama over.
