2011 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Sumatra Black

welcome to RR ownership, most of us feel your pain

Also Sumatra Black, such a gorgeous colour in the bright sunshine, specs of dark blue jumping out at you when you park her up and walk away smiling !

Might be hard to ignore as charger will be comming off

This is worst of the rust on the car

I will clean and coat both subframes then treat paint and wax all other sighting of surface rust.

Still no parking sensors or centre console lights this is either a fuse or module so i will have to dig into that later

Thats it for today! Grabbing 36mm spanner and 2 more 4t stands tomorrow

If i disconnect power to steps whilst deployed they should remain out from what i understood.

I will remove charger tomorrow, hopefully then jack it high amd even as i can and get to sealing all underside while i wait 1500 in parts
