Today's two repairs

Like a driving a ffrr, a sense of pride and achievement goes to the first person to guess the two repairs needed

Correct for one repair sir! Well it's for the ignition - the graphite has worked in other vehicles before.

Yeah....well that appears to have cured the "key not turning problem".
Someone had suggested WD40 but I think that would eventually dry out and attract dust!

2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

Members of my family own their own business and have been Master Locksmiths since 1978.

I am always told to use graphite and not oil in locks.........dirt sticks to the oil, wheras graphite is "dry".

Not sure about the 2nd fix........something to do with fabric perhaps ? Looks like the plastic bits fit together and maybe clamp something ? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Are they for the seatbelt? To keep the clip from sliding too far down the belt? Previously..

You are right, I do feel a sense of pride and achievement in being the first person to guess the answer...
But is there an option to trade for a monetary prize?? Previously..
