Treated the old girl to an oil and filter change, went for halfords Classic 20/50 this time , have read some good reviews on some V8 forums, it's designed for the older engine and the rover V8 is an old design . Comes in an old fashion tin like they used to in the old days, only £15 for 5 litres so that's a bit of a bargain .
Over the last week I have rettrimmed headlining , fitted another DSP amp and subwoofer, new boot seal, new plenum filter, re stained steering wheel and other odds and sods, the old girl has done me for just over a grand but she is worth it.
 
Stripped all door pillars of the old type furry stuff, bloody he'll was it sticky. Washed them all down with meths to get the rest of the old gule off, recovered the whole lot with a faux leather in cream. To me they look good, now just go to tackle a saggy head liner.

Took her for a drive to Dumbarton, which after yesterday's run to Balloch,to do the Kiltwalk, might remedy the flat(ish) battery issue on Friday.

I am toying with the idea of replacing interior lights with LEDs so ordered a couple for the rears (31-33mm) and will see how they look. Less than a fiver delivered so worth a punt.

Someone on here had some very flash puddle-lights that also shone the Range Rover logo onto the pavement. Couldn't see any plug and play for the P38 but they've kind of grown on me and I'm tempted to try those if there are some at the right price!

Puddle lights too?

My boy used to leave his on all the time and somehow the missus never noticed and by morning it had hit the battery. Eventually his side stopped working altogether and that sorted that! Time to fix it now for good but I am tied up with work and funerals for a few weeks.
 
Gave it a rinse off after today's job.
Kinda thinking on gloss black wheels undecided as I don't like what's on atm. Think it would look better on hurricanes or mondials

Think black wheels might be a tad too much black. Those ones don't look so bad.
 
So looked under her. Found my gearbox leak. Cooler sandwich plate it's coming from. (Manual box).
Turns out Someone has bridged the cooler lines and one got folded over its self. So away to adjust it I have a modal cooler sat to fit when I have more time. Also a rear coil spring is dislocated at the top hopefully sorts the gangster lean out a bit.
