Once the lens is out there are two hex screws to take out, then lever down the back and push towards the screen then remove it from the back facing the sunroof. I haven't removed the light cluster myself but I've seen a post about it on a forum somewhere. Hope the bumper sensor sorts the pop up hood. I've tried prying out the light lenses but with there being a notch but otherwise only smooth surfaces (no lip to pry on) I gave up before destroying anything.
Schaefft Posted Tuesday at 17:42 Author Posted Tuesday at 17:42 The Range Rover is now on the ramp at Birch 4x4, I'm trying to prepare my mind and body for the bills this will produce. Who knows, if they can get it done in time I might be able to pick it up this Saturday on my way back from Bicester (although it looks like they are closed on weekends so not sure yet how that'll work). I'm still waiting for the ZTT's springs to arrive so I've washed the Millercycle Xedos 9 instead. I hate to admit that it might have been half a year since the last proper wash, at the same time the car didn't really go anywhere either. I need to change that soon, especially with a potential donor car on the horizon. Spottedlaurel, dome, DirtyDaily and 8 others 11

I've said it here before and I'll say it again, Mazda really was at their peak in the very late 80s and early 90s, they didn't design a single bad looking car after 1989 until the Xedos 9 and FD RX7 came out. Even the often forgotten fullsize '92 929 was beautiful. IronStar 1

Schaefft Posted Wednesday at 20:07 Author Posted Wednesday at 20:07 Range Rover news: Birch 4x4 confirmed what we suspected, e-clutch/bushing failure causing a lack of pressure to properly engage 4th/5th/6th. A common gearbox failure on L322s with the 6-speed (the 5-speeds also fail, don't worry), in case of mine just above 100k miles👌 Hopefully I'll be able to get it back this Saturday, I might have to park it in Liverpool and pick it up Saturday the following week on my way down to/back from Rustival as I'll be in the Infiniti in both cases. The other Rover product, the ZTT, finally got it's new spring today. This time one that actually seems to be the right size. Despite that I still had to deploy a few death defying tricks to get this strut reassembled... This actually worked out without me dying: Yes, the MG was finally back on the ground and ready for its MOT. Even the sun decided to come out again so I decided to take it for a drive. Life can be beautiful. Hold on, what's that on the ground..? So the exhaust fell off. loserone, cbowditch, Cookiesouwest and 10 others 7 3 2 1

Believe it or not, I bought this original owner, 73k miles example in the hopes of it not needing all that much work when recommissioning it. Right now it needs more work than the utterly neglected E39 I bought back in 2014. I'm increasingly glad that the donation I bought this thing with will make it a free car eventually, ignoring what I'm currently putting into it mind you... 1 minute ago, Brigsy said: Free silencer delete for nice v6 noises.
