United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

Collected my set of the Miggit enterprises bespoke guides this morning from the local Royal Mail office and I must say I'm very impressed. Quality pieces of kit.

Many thanks for making the effort here.......

Glad they got there alright Bud, but I have had a slight flaw pointed out to me by nicedayforit. It would appear that with a regular application and oil, the Guide-o-Matic may well outlast the car. Shocked
I can only extend my appolages, and assure you that this was an oversight on my behalf. I'm currently working on an alternative material to make them from, and I've entered in to negotiations with Cadburys and I'm waiting for a reply. But I must say they are taking their time, so in the intrim I must continue to manufacture them out of steel, and hope that nobody else notices them outlasting their FFRR Thumbs Up Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Well I'm not making any claims, but my old MG only broke down when I'd taken the toolbox out for a bit more space. It was as if it knew the right moment to strike Shocked
So keep the Guide-o-Matic to hand, it may well prove to be a lucky charm Cool Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

A lot more, for those of you that are interested. I will insist on sending then recorded mail, it's way too dodgy to send them normal post at this time of year. Total cost including postage to the UK is £34.99, Bargain Thumbs Up Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Rolling with laughter

I'll have you know they are in my "Tools and useful bits of stuff box" just waiting until I get a couple of hours when it's dry and sunny and above 2C when I will give them a full work out whilst changing my front brake pads.
In the meantime they are resting. Thumbs Up

Mercedes cars come with one of these pins as part of the tool kit Very Happy

I'll just keep using my 50+ year old Britool breaker-bar under the wheel to rotate and fit

If Mercedes are supplying one in their tool kit, then I'd guess that the wheels are held on with bolts not nuts. And these bespoke wheel accessories have been extensively researched and tested, and improved over a long time (3 weeks Laughing ) to be the ultimate in wheel guides Shocked Shocked Dam I'm getting good at this sales cr*p Laughing

Anyway a breaker bar is so last year darling! The in crowd are using the 'Guide-o-Matic', for effortless stud alignment on their FFRR's Wink
And I'm pleased to say that my first L405 RR, has made inquires about joining this exclusive club Thumbs Up Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
