Range Rover Ruinous Record.

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

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.

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.

Back two pins need soldering back on. Now where is that iron?

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

Well this is boring it’s still burning all of the fuel but making progress. MOT due soon so expect tears and gnashing of teeth.

Inner steering rack joint has small play so will do that in summer when I can be bothered.

Here’s another random picture of not me off the internet to prove your point.
