Recent James Pond movies usually start with a couple of tasty tratter wrecking scenes. Makes me cringe to see them squished n broken. Won't be so bad with the noo not-defenders, they can scrap as many of them as they like :p

Think they wrecked 10 x of the new ones and the only mod I think was roll cages

I must confess the new fenders are growing on me, even though I would never be able to afford one unless it’s made by JLR Lego 🤣
 
well.......
The noo element is in the dishwasher and currently under test at the hottest setting.
I was able to test the old one quick enough to determine that yes it WAS fubar.
Big relief all round.
Fiddly flipping job, I took two side panels off before determining it would be easier to take the bottom panel off.
But once that was done, which involved removing the adjustable feet stuff etc, it was a lot easier.
The hardest part was working out how to separate the two halves of the electrical connector.
And as usual it is obvious that in the factory they put them together never thinking about the poor berk who will have to repair it. All those compression sprung fittings for the rubber pipes had the two ends round out of the way so I had to do some blue sky thinking (swearing) before I developed a noo two-tooled way of closing them together and rotating them until I could shift them properly.
so, quick Stanley tip.
If you want to do any of this, turn the machine upside down, it is a lot easier that way!
And be prepared to constantly mop the floor!
Better a €80 euros part than anoo machine!

Captain Tightbum rides again!

@Stanleysteamer what about an L322? As a newer car if you arnt liking the D3
I have never owned a Rang Rover, all I know is that there is nothing better than a Disco for moving big stuff, even a 110 still has that narrow door.
Did they even make a diesel? And does it still have all the electronic poop, air supension etc that I don't want?
The whole point is that I am thinking maybe of downsizing just a tad and to me any Range Rover doesn't cover that.

Yes they make diesels and I think it is air suspension I didn't know the requirements
