What does the badge say.

Range Rover.

We've taken it off road a few times and while the ground clearance can't compare to the disco etc its still very capable although predominantly its used to ferry us around in comfort and occasionally get packed up and driven to camp sites around the country.

We need moar Land Rovers and British cars on the forum! :cool:

Firestar_3x · 30 Apr 2019 at 09:59

We need a JLR owners thread tbh.

vanpeebles · 30 Apr 2019 at 10:01

Just JLR?

I suppose it could be "British car owners thread", but incoming pedant expected based on company ownership i.e. tata.

At least the wheels are the right colour.

Well for now atleast

Went on search of £8k fun, ended up spending less than a third of that on a runabout as had a few issues come up with my ex buying me out of my house and could do without having too much cash tied up in my daily car...

Once dust has settled on house move stuff I will likely resume the search for something a little more special and move on the Mini. Not bad in the meantime though and doing 38mpg on my commute

X5 40d. Bought it from Sytner Sunningdale a couple of weeks ago. The only things it didn't have that would have been nice was a reversing camera and HUD (pointless but good for resale). Planning to keep it for at least a couple of years. Got 2 years warranty included. High miles at 66k but the price was right and the condition is excellent. Really happy with it so far.

The oval badge on the grille?

This is a fairly easy retrofit and can be coded so that it operates exactly as per the OEM system.

Interesting, thanks. Do you think its best to buy the OEM parts and have them fitted or go to one of these aftermarket fitters that do the whole thing?

[TW]Fox · 30 Apr 2019 at 19:17

Order the stuff off Ebay and do it yourself. It's not difficult - everything clips into place and the space to route the cables etc is already there.

Awesome, thanks

Should have got one of these years ago, but I thought power>handling. Boy was I wrong.

Ignore my driveway which needs cleaning... again.

Conscript · 1 May 2019 at 10:24

Stunning.
Although, I'd get rid of that rear wiper and replace it with a lifetime supply of Rain-X (other rain repellents are available).

naefeart · 1 May 2019 at 10:34

Haha, I knew the wiper would get a mention. I'm happy with it tbh, it doesn't stick out like it does on the 987.

Porsche have fitted rear wipers to their cars since the dawn of time, I'm confident in the function over form in this case
