This time i used Forever Black Bumper & Trim Dye Kit, its a bit pricey but i've tried the usual suspects and they didn't last long at all.

This is supposed to last For 50 washes

That's the only one i've not tried.

Not sure i would trust myself near the paint work with a heat gun

Freed the clutch actuator properly, fitted yet another hydraulic setup and drove her home!

So you tried setting fire to your Hippo

PlattyR56 · May 21, 2014

Heat guns work quite well. I've had some good results in the past with faded trim.

I've mentioned it before, but GTechniq C4 is what I use now. 15ml is enough to do 2 cars. Pricey, but it lasts for ages! I used it on my MINI when I bought early last year. Not had to re-apply it yet.

Fitted this. Why? Well I'll be selling it in the next few weeks (my Silver td4) and have some bits that are surplus to my requirements that I can't fit to my rally Freelander. I'll also be fitting some more silicone hoses and stainless intercooler piping and an induction filter to get rid of that nasty plastic job at the front of the engine. All adds to the "comp safari" look and makes it a little more appealing to those who are interested in purchasing such a vehicle knowing everything they need has already been done........................
Well that's my theory and i'm sticking to it.

3 amigos appeared today - a gentle tap of the hammer on the abs sensor seems to have fixed it - my nsf wheel thumped our front door step yesterday ...must have knocked the abs sensor out of whack a bit.

Interesting read. Learnt something new today

Nodge68 · May 23, 2014

Changed the twin relay, auto mirror fold control to a single relay type. This was then fitted into the spare bay next to the fuse box.

GrumpyGel · May 23, 2014

Had a 5 hour drive down to Dunedin today for the rugby tomorrow. So checked the levels. Oil - spot on. Coolant - bottle empty as expected. Must check it out some time, bottle empties real quick, but never goes any lower. Can't be serious- it's an L series.
