My fans weren't working on the interior heating, so spoke to the previous to the previous owner as they were in the same family, who told me the resistor was faulty and they had taken one out of another that I condemned due to massive electrical failure, to my surprise, there was no resistor fitted at all! Turns out, the guy forgot to actually put the replacement resistor in, parked the car up, then did a deal with his brother who only used it briefly and left it mostly parked up. Now has a brand new resistor fitted, I have left the car at my workshop for the night, for the first time with the battery being left connected over night, to see if the battery drain that I was told it has, has stopped. It has only been left over night once at the MOT centre with the battery connected, and it started fine the next day and that was before I fitted a new resistor.

Missing being in the Range Rover already, but also love my van.

I fitted the custom exhaust yesterday and found a slight issue with how it sits as my other TD6 has a Westfalia detachable towbar and this one has a fixed towbar, so had to fit custom exhaust hangers, and the pipe ends sit a little low. I will look another day at options on how to adjust the pipes up a bit more, but for now, I am happy with them. Curiously, not as loud on this TD6 as they were on the other one. But still sounds nicer with the throatier grumble. Also no longer have a battery drain as far as I can tell.
I left the car at the workshop over night and it started up the next day without any issues.

Just need to sort the central locking motor out on the drivers door next. But at the moment, the beast is not in use as I have needed to do a few things that I am only willing to use a van for

The little changes seem to keep happening and I can't help myself

Hated the standard grill, so went and got one the correct colour from a 4.2 Supercharged model that is being broken in Lydd.

I really want to get the L405 style grill though, but they are ridiculous money at the moment.

I spent my Birthday yesterday on a 5 hour round road trip collecting my new to me recovery trailer.
Decided to take the Range Rover for comfort, also because I haven't wired up the vans towbar electrics yet.

Looking good there sir Onto my 2nd FFRR, this time an L405 5.0L SC AB in SVO Palette black.

Ok, things have taken a bit of a funny turn. I barely use the Range Rover now as I have a huge car collection, which I am slimming down a bit, So I have now sold this beast to the guy who was paying my other RR down in instalments, so have transferred the balance over to this one and now ended up in the short run keeping Matty. I am in the process of getting a few things sorted out, BUT, I am looking at getting a much newer L322 or an early L405 next within the next year. But looking at getting Matty back on the road as a fun toy.

Been a while since I posted on here. I sold Steve (Name of this L322) to a friend just after the last post, anyway, he was refused an mot test based on rust. Rear arches and rear outer sills, my friends situation had changed so he needed another vehicle that I had which is already on the road, so I took Steve back in part exchange. This beast is now on over 240k miles, and mechanically still going pretty strong and has gained a few mods since he left my ownership.

But the work now needed is,

Stepper motor on transfer box.
Welding.
Seat sensor.
Paint.
