Cue questions about the little gearstick and why I heard a grinding noise followed by a bang and now my car won't drive...

Going to go on a Land Rover Experience thingy, so there.

You can see me climbing into my engine bay in a futile attempt to escape the glare

I thought Blue Beasty's Landy was a design modification -a bonnet up variant.

If you're planning going off road in your vehicle then don't be too precious about your paintwork. It means you cry less the first time a branch puts a full length scratch down the side.

In terms of practicality, then a flat paint colour is easier to match/t-cut (to cover scratches) than a metallic or pearlescent.

If you want a defender to look pretty and the worst off roading it will do is a muddy car park then go for a metallic dark green or grey. Black's for pimps and wannabe gaylanders.

Thanks for that Tazzo. Fortunately our next door neighbour is a paint sprayer.

Note that even out in the middle of nowhere (OK salisbury Plain) the Rangie is staying well away, and possibly even upwind, of those nasty Landys and Discos. Funny how true quality shows almost anywhere.
