Third time lucky for me weekend wise and I finally got the time to install my aux input into the cubby box between the seats.
This weekend I fitted chrome rings to my instruments, plus restored my very knackered steering wheel.

I also took the console mostly to bits and did a thorough clean of the associated components.

I also swapped the heater matrix O rings. Hateful task. Next time I'd just suck it up and take the dash out.

Retrimmed headlining and pillars in cream look suede material. Things I've learnt doing this (and following the guide found on here).
1) If you attempt this job, don't expect for one second for it to turn out perfectly.
2) Now I know why vehicle trimmers charge a lot of money!
Overall it looks ok but I need to retrim a couple of the pillars due to creases, etc. Would I do it again knowing what was involved? Probably not

Is that the apprentice butler
He's going to grow up associating the words "Range Rover" with absent father! Admittedly I was only in the garage but even so, I must have spent 12 hours this weekend faffing about.

Well we removed the engine as it had major problems, and started fitting a replacement, but will have to be finished tomorrow..
The engine has over heated and no 1 piston has left some of the alloy in the bore, the head has warped a touch, the crank is good though, the turbo is badly worn..
Is this d engine worth anything for spares or repair or do I scrap it , obviously the steering pump, injectors and pump are worth selling just wondered about the rest...

Fukcing thing! Had the steering rack replaced last week at the cost of £930 inc vat
Then it's developed a rumble since
Had the tracking checked but that's fine
Took it back to the garage that did the rack, and told them to fix it. turns out to be a collapsed wheel bearing so needs hub now grrrrrrr
Another £200. Great

Man that sucks....just think once you all these things replaced, you'll have a sorted L322 for another 10 years!!!Fukcing thing! Had the steering rack replaced last week at the cost of £930 inc vat

Well it's going to have to start behaving soon as the missis is on my back to get rid now!
On a positive note, she took it to Hereford and back at the weekend (220 mile round trip) and averaged equivilant 36mpg! On LPG
WOW - is that the petrol equivalent or what it actually acheived...best I have done on a run is 23.7mpg

Used it to drive to the "local" hospital to visit my two nephews wives, both in the same hospital at the same time. One has just given birth to their first child, a healthy bouncing baby boy. The other...to offer inadequate support on their miscarriage (8 weeks).
