United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Zermatt Silver

Just got in from cleaning mine. This is after three fords and an automated car wash yesterday. Rolling Eyes

Lightly pressure washed the engine (low pressure) which was covered in light mud. Most of the heavy mud was in the wheel wells and in my side steps. All around the door frames and inside lots of panels there is also evidence of mud. It will never all come out but what the hell... it is an off-roader by heritage.

One good thing Very Happy is that I remembered to put the rubber mats in so they were easy to clean. Got the carpet back in now so all plush again!

On the downside Sad there are some pretty heavy scratches on the drivers door - hopefully T-cut or similar will do it. Any recommendations?

Cheers and I'm already looking forward to the next one - how about a FFRR day out? 2012 5.0L S/C

All clean again now mind Thumbs Up

Damage sustained in minimal, I too had some scratches down the left side where the car slipped into a hegde, but they#ll polish out no probs.
I do need to remove both front side lights fittings and one fog light as they have water and silt in Shocked

Engine bay was not a pretty site

Got some of it off with a gentle hose and a brush but its prob gunna need a professional clean.

It was def worth it, and again thanks to Stu for organising and Reggieb for leading our group. I hope Reggie can post up the pics/vids he took on the final run as they must have looked good. FFRR TD6 HSE

Guys looks like you had a great day out !!

Perhaps we should try to get a weekend together ? perhaps in the Peak District, its a stunning area and nice and compact. Different terrain to the plains it really it can give the suspension a good work out.

One thing I have learned from experiancing Salisbury Plain is that I should have paid more attention to cleaning out the radiators and intercooler !!! the mud gets well in to them and it was only really cured when I removed the intercooler and the radiator.

My FFRR is still oozing Salisbury Plain mud into the door shuts and from below the front grille from when I took off road in the plain back in April.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking it off road, but it the clean up that followed means I'm unlikely to do it again Sad

Thanks for posting photos Thumbs Up

Get snow foam into everything and leave it for a fair while to soak in and then rinse off with a slow hose Smile

same on engine bay, its designed to be half sunk in water so some splashing around wont kill it Very Happy

Cheers fella.
I'll need to extend the toothbrush to reach some areas the mud has got. I was using my wheel brush earlier which was doing a pretty good job. FFRR TD6 HSE
