Decided to treat the vogue to a three stage polish, photos don't do it justice. Paintwork wasn't too bad before I started but definitely improved.

Fitted rear mudflaps, always thought it looked a bit odd with just front ones fitted.

Fitted the chrome style Autobiography armrest adjusters, think they work well in a black interior and blend in well
the other interior chrome.

Next jobs will be engine, gearbox and transfer box service and then onto changing discs and pads

I fitted the correctly sized rear number plate, replaced a knackered door speaker and fixed a loose b pillar interior trim with new clips

Not today, but over the weekend. Had front and rear letters replaced to Gloss Black version, Cleaned it and managed to get some pics of it before it inevitably rained

Next on the list is a grill change (inc get rid of the Green Badge) and possibly 2018> tail lights, undecided.

Washed it - then as usual it started raining. Geoff

Meguirs Scratch X 2.0 to get rid of a few marks.
So much better than TCut  2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
New Defender D300 90 on order so "Rory" will be going to a new home....!
1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie"

One major improvement that you could make, and cost zero!

Your wheel cap centers don't align, you want the text reading horizontally identical on all.

Apart from that,

You have a seriously good looking RR, kudos.  L322 3.6 TDV8 Vogue. 07MY
ML 320 7 Seat full leather etc. (The Black Pearl)

Now that you have mentioned it, I will have to align them.

I won't post any interior shots of the vents in alignment or the carpets vertically striped with the vac then

Car detailing OCD is a terrible affliction

Nah, vertical vac'ed carpet stripes is just so 'passé'.

4 Wheel, 5 stud, 'all flats aligned' through the whole car is the way forward!  L322 3.6 TDV8 Vogue. 07MY

What did i do to my Full Fat today? sold it  BMW i3 Electric Car
2012 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 (now gone)
2006 VW Touareg 3.0 TDi V6

First expense since buying the FF (bar extensive servicing) new genuine LR oil cooler, common oil leak resulting in oily whiff! Hope it's now cured!  2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!
BMW R1200GS
Alfa Romeo Giulietta
Just one Montesa now, 349 White Wonder
Austin A40 Farina MK2
1975 Morris Marina 1.8TC

4 wheel alignment done by kwik fit, Widnes and the blokes face was a picture when he found all the nuts involved where new and could be turned with just a socket and spanner set !!

This afternoon a young lad in his Vauxhall Corsa went off the road headfirst and got stuck in a shallow ditch near here. He was frantically flagging people down asking for assistance to get it out.

I swooped in like Thunderbird 2 arriving at the danger zone and dragged him out using my new 7.5 ton towing strap. Low range and just a bit of light throttle and it came out easily.

He works at a fish and chip shop so I've been awarded free fish and chips for life

Sucked out some power steering fluid and refilled with fresh. I will repeat this until it is perfectly smooth when steering.

Replaced the battery with a new one as the car had been standing a while before I bought it and wasn't starting.

Drove to B & Q for some bits playing "dodge the flying wheelie bin" on the way.

On the way back watched Margate Lifeboat returning from a shout - an impressive boat & those guys (& gals) are something else. (Apparently, it was a false alarm). 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6
