United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Barolo Black
Hi from a new owner

Hi guys, been lurking on the sidelines for a bit now doing some homework, whilst I wait to get my FF which I collected today.
Basically it's for me/missus to use for towing her horses, and me just to maintain I gues
Rolling Eyes
We have had ownership of a disco 2 for about 18 months now and I think I have replaced everying from air bags to window motors to sunroofs ect ect so pretty much know what landrover /range rovers are all about (hope so anyway)
So this is it Tdv8, everything appears to work (touch wood), gearbox is smooth, no funny noises, except when braking when moving very slow, sort of drone, so I guess the pads need doing.
Just had ยฃ2500 spent on service, bags, lower arms,
Service book is stamped, but no back up or paperwork, but I'm going to try and get this,.
The car was sold as a clearance item and not even cleaned Evil or Very Mad which I though they would at leady wash it.

So being a RR it has issues,
Venture cam don't work
Rear wash wipe leaks water into the boot
Reversing cam don't work,
Rust patch and scratches on the nsr quarter
Rear wash wipe doesn't return flat
Think that's about it to fix. Hence the homework

So enhancement to do
Full valet
Tint the windows
Change the side and front grills

Sorry for the long read, Any help on the above issues especially the rear wiper
Would be appreciated

thanks for reading

I preferred the custom fit blinds cos you can take them out at winter time.....or just put them on the boot windows if you have a pet - in and out to suit.

I ended up replacing the rear wiper motor on my TD6 for it leaking. Others on here have stripped it down and replaced the seals and had some success though.

The search function is really good on here and the Wiki is full of useful bits of into.

theres a whole wiki at the top of the page with a wealth of how to's. The wash wipe is an easy DIY fix for a couple of quid if you can use a spanner.

see here
