What did you do with your Range Rover today

When they get that faded mask them up and spray them satin black with an aerosol.
if they are only just starting to fade you can usually get them with back to black spray or Armoral plastic renovator.

Think itl be a mask up and spray then they've been like that years

Okay dude nothing appers as a pre check light. Mabye its gone dead haha. No audible sound apart from normal click clak. All works so not a biggie really.

Probably the bulb has been stolen to replace a duff one.

It is on the left set of warning lamps of the instrument binacle on the bottom row. Far right one I think, nearest the odometer.

I think you are right that's where i remember it, no extra sound on mine, just the light.

I'm not sure they all come with it. Mine did but mine had full towing electrics with twin sockets. If not it is a standard V2 socket holder with one of those 286 lamps in.

It should be a standard feature as it is operated by the BECM, regardless of whether the tow electrics are fitted, the loom is there.
Of course some idiot may have wired into the lights instead of using the connector provided, in which case the indicator would not work.

I meant the bulb!

Think you're right, someone has nicked the bulb for something else. You can get 10 for £2 off the Bay with free postage.

Littelwill · May 10, 2015

One of the first jobs I did on mine was replace every interior bulb with a fresh one. It was like the great Christmas switch on that night!

Looked smaller, somehow. Although now I look at my avatar mine don't look so big either.

Replaced all instrument binnacle bulbs. Would you believe it? 21 286 bulbs and I only bought 20 so I left one as it was: the trailer bulb!

dogsbody · May 11, 2015

It's twelfth engine oil & filter change since I've owned it.
Did the gearbox as well as the new one has done about 5k. Nice clean ATF coming out but, as I expected, the magnet was a bit furry.
Greased front prop and checked front diff. Rears tonight once I get the knots out of my spine. Oh for a ramp or a pit.

martynv8 · May 11, 2015

Dropping the oil after 500 miles on the new engine (running on petrol since it was put in....ouch!).
Will grease the UJ's whilst i'm under there.

Bix · May 11, 2015

Nothing, just got back from 10 days in Scotland. Will try and start her tonight, see what happens. I am hoping she starts because the fault was just a duff battery. We shall see.

Also, Merc is poorly. Failed MoT because 2 wheels were cracked. Windscreen has a stone chip right in drivers line of sight (over 10mm so needs new screen) and think we've finally got to the bottom of the boot not playing. This bill is going to be huge. Haha.

benthomas · May 11, 2015

Colour coded the door mirrors and removed the faded old 2.5 DSE badge from the tailgate. Looks a lot fresher now!

Took it to local garage for them to take to MOT station, garage owners wife takes it to MOT station only to find she can not open drivers door from inside, so, No MOT today and another problem to fix.

Second-hand ramps are quite reasonable on the Bay. It is where to put it that is the problem!

domino · May 12, 2015

Ran out of money to put in the tank...it's been sitting there for 2 days in a sulk.

New two post lifts are not expensive either rated for 2.5 tonnes. The major cost is the ground work and concrete needed to install one. I opted to dig a pit, cheaper and in the case of mine safer as one end is open.
