We are living very similar lives for exactly the same reasons.  ;D
If only 3D printers could print out a new skeleton.  :D

Washed it.  I was careful with the pressure washer around the chinky containers headlight, so a bit of anxiety for a few hours to see if it mists up now.

Don't think I'd chance a pressure washer, given the previous problem. Bucket and sponge may be advisable, and rinsed off with a low pressure garden hose.

Gave the Range Rover a thorough clean inside & out after 2 weeks in North Devon, lots of sand in the boot area thanks to the dog , all clean & tucked away in the garage now.

Is it shiny?

Bit of an extreme way of getting a free car wash.....

Greased up the cables on my Omega Elite sunroof.

Failed to get the sunroof control module to synchronise so swapped it over from my other elite and all now works fine. Just need some sunshine now.

Too the BBP to Guildford again, first time since it decided to dump all its coolant on the A3 3 or 4 weeks ago.

And broke it again. On the A3.

When you have a spare of anything the one you use never breaks  :)
now you don't have the Omega the BBP will demand constant attention   :(

Its just Guildford. The car knows its a shithole, and doesn't want to go there ;D

The Battlebus overheating incident was also on a visit to Guildford.


Conclusion? Avoid Guildford. Its a shithole.
