Yep that's where I've been searching but they're like hen's teeth. I think I struck it lucky when I found that other one.

"Give them a ring", Ha! Good one. You can't talk to anybody on the phone any longer and certainly not for this.
It's not the tunnel, it's the ULEZ zone. The toll booths at Dartford were removed probably 10+ years ago to ease the congestion. Yeah, it didn't work!
Update to my woes is; having assumed I'd made an error, I paid the fine and then was the presented with the option to setup Autopay so I tried. The system then told me that I was already registered for AutoPay and showed my list of vehicles which included the RR that I'd just paid the fine for. So I am now trying to get my fine back as I see their system to be at fault, it was already on there and I can prove it to some degree as I have a dated screenshot of the vehicle list.

Accuracy of the system is not important, screwing the punter is. There are hundreds of complaints like yours, good luck getting it sorted.

Ha Cheers Keith I still have a Disco 2, well most of it..

Nope..
Her replacement.
Never thought i'd part with the P38 but it cost a fortune to run mainly insurance which was even at 24 £170 per month plus £40 tax around £200 before it had even turned a wheel.
and I fancied a change

So i never too the range rover too the west coast, sent my pretty much lifelong mate and landy specialist, some videos of what it does after trying for like half hour to get the right bit of road and gear and throttle input, and the mrs over my shoulder filming the dials only does it in drive not sport or manual, he still struggled to see what i could, flared 3rd gear change cold, 5th when warm under the right conditions 30 40ish % throttle like right before the point it should go back too 4th it gains speed but the rpm pulses up (no flutter) but its like it gains 50rpm a time, rev counter moves like a clock seconds hand rather then smooth if you understand
im convinced its mabye torque converter,
Iv got 4 options
1, Run it and see it actually get bad enough to pinpoint risking the gearbox
2, Throw a torque converter in and tube seals and bridge seals and filter and fluid and hope for the best
3, iv got a spare 4.2 engine and box on its way out of the black one i sold him years ago so send that gearbox away to be reconditioned and new torque converter as the mileage is only 5k less then my range rover
4, pull it apart break it and buy another (my least favourite option)

The basecoat was made by a company called Protouch.
The primer was a halfords plastic primer which was topped with a filler primer.

If it isn't that bad then 1 until 3 becomes the way forward.

We did our regular 35km each way shopping run today and were amazed to see over a dozen swasticars. Very unusual normally never see more than one. Wasted my time washing the cars, they are covered in Sahara dust this morning
