Ok it's pretty simple but it DOES WORK!

You'll need:
A glue gun
Some dowl about the same diameter of a 10p
Some wood screws

First cut the dowl to 1.5" lengths
Now put a screw either side of the dowl to make a handle.
Find the middle of the dent first this is very important as the glue drys mega fast.
Put a good blob of glue on the end of your dowl and immediately stick it in the middle of the dent.

Now leave for a few minutes to set and then pull it back off it will pull the dent right out with it.

I did two good dents in four attempts two goes per dent.

Go try it!

he got some evo stick put it in a bag and sniffed it till the dent disappeared

So how do you then get the dowel off?

And does it not remove the paint . . . ?

I just watched youtube vid the dowles are removed with hot air gun, heating the glue to allow the dowels to release.
The yank in the vid was also using a hammer

Just had range rover for a few weeks. not done much apart from hooking up our caravan

Changed the maf pipe what a difference it's got its get up and go now also changed washer pumps x3 and still cannot get rear washer to work pump works but no water coming out of pipe in rear but hey at least The front washers work

Had a bit of excitment yesterday, phone call from wife of friend to say she thought he was having a serious medical problem. Shot round in P38, looked bad, wife phoned paramedics and ambulance. Place well off the beaten track and not on SatNav, had to go meet the ambulance. Who says a P38 diesel cannot shift? Blue lights 30ft behind me, it was the fastest I've ever driven down a single track road 100Kmh in places.
Then off the the hospital. Thankfully it turned out to be suspected Gall stones so it was back to the hospital again at midnight to collect matey

changed oil,and the oil,air,fuel filters.
