What did you do with your Range Rover today

Henry_b said:

A standard Vogue with oxford leather and a failing HVAC display.

And he thinks it's worth £9500

I love the "i spent £4000 on it" so in his mind the fact he overspent on it justifies the comedy price!

I've done more on the mechanical side on mine for less than £1600

what a joker..

That is worth around £3500

I was thinking similar. Odd the pixels went. Bulbs often do but not pixels. Not even full wood pack. Radius arm bushes will be tired by now and that ain't cheap to pay someone else. Brake lines miggt have a few more years depending if garaged.

One of these days I might be brave enough to list everything done to the Golden Girl. I reckon I have probably paid about about double the amount paid for her. And still I love her

Henry_b said:

That was/is half the list

gold rover said:

Ah but thankfully you didn't you well into the five figures for yours

gold rover said:

Just had a look at it, interesting that you don't remember black ones
As seller is claiming they were all black : "It is believed that the first owner of this car was Virgin Atlantic airlines, where they used it for their Upper Class customer chauffeur service. All their Range Rover chauffeur vehicles were a rare specification: java black paintwork."
Interesting use of "it is believed"

Ah but not ex-Virgin?

A lot of government vehicles were black and very low mileage. Dopey doesn't think the Virgin airlines ones were.

Finally received the second airbag as a Christmas pressie from Ruski post but as suspected the weather has turned to the cool side. (not so when I ordered them), so rebuilt the compressor and while the airbags are working will leave alone. The only bonus to replacing them now is that the cold will stop the bleeding when the inevitable skinning of knuckles would occur due to numbness, and if they last another 3 weeks it will be a next winter job haha.

gold rover said:

The vehicle in question is supposedly ex Virgin Atlantic, proof of which, states the seller, is the colour. Which Dopey , who drove for them for years, says not likely. Was the first owner of yours Virgin Atlantic?
