What did you do with your Range Rover today

This site contains affiliate links for which LandyZone may be compensated if you make a purchase.
Tried to get the airbag out on the scrapper. Pipe won't come out. Nanocom won't work on it either so cannot deflate the bag. Fiddled for an hour and a half and then decided I had had enough.
 
My rangie gave me the kind of deep joy you get after a week fraught with hatred of the beast after it locked my out (ignition) after I had the temerity to try to fix the reach motor on the steering column. Retracing all steps I checked the replacement fuse 18 I had used when to one I pulled fumbled into the back of the dash. The fuse was fine but I did notice the prongs were dull, from having sat in the spare fuse holder for 18;years. I buffed them with wetndry and put it back and lo the beast awoke once more.
I can now call off the tow truck and cancel the appointment at the mainstealer hat would have doubtless set me back a new column.
Oh the deep joy, so I took it for a blast (to Sainsbury’s) for some eggs, and probably a bit of Covid 19. Still at least I can now self isolate in my rangie.

Yep 4 weeks of hell. Had to laugh though. Phoned Dr after a week, when it hadn't gone, and I was spending time in bed or bathroom. They blythely, without a thought said ' can you just bring a sample in , and see Dr". I replied along the lines of ' if I come in the sample will be all over your surgery. I need a home visit." Dr arrived a few hours later :D

Forget the Salmonella. I got Campylobacteriosis from an egg roll last year. 4 weeks it took to leave. Took about 9 months before I ventured near another egg. Even now I am wary.

That's how I got Guillain-Barre campylobacteria for 3 weeks then got worse. Was from some old eggs Fox had buried on allotment that I picked up with bare hands.

I got mine from what appeared a super clean fast food van. Guy was so OCD about cleanliness, he doesn't even allow clients to put own sauce on, in case they dirty the serving area!

Guillain-Barre can be really nasty. You did well to get through that.

It was full blown Guillain-Barre totally paralysed. I as I get older the effects are becoming more prominent after what happened to me.
The wife is panicking like mad at the moment because of this corona virus as with heart problems as well I am in the at risk category. But after what life has thrown at me. what the hell is my moto and carry on. Cant be worse than owning Land Rovers :D:p:D:p
 
After getting both e36s 330 converted. Got finished about 5am. Both made their drift events and are doing well.
Got a seriously cheep e53 x5 3.0d with a funny gearbox R-N-D it just goes forwards.
But it runs so il harvest parts wise whatever's shared with the l322 and keep them aside.
Also bought a v70 volvo 2.4 petrol I don't know why or what for but I did.

That stupid cupholder that pops from cubby box area by the passenger seat wont stay in. How annoying and what an eyesore it is.
