It is in Team Valley Land Rover today for some warranty work, hope they wash it because I am not looking forward to it! Shocked


Also note Stealth Disco Sticker - Reversed reflective stuck inside, very subtle in the daytime - comes alive at night! :evil:

Blimey !

May be a set of mud flaps are needed, it might cut the spray down a bit ?

That was only about 2 miles on snow near Thirsk Sad

Devon CM - Rear Wiper Switch. Rolling Eyes

Posted a few months back and people thought I was mad... completely random operation.

Eventually I worked out that the lever needed a good shove backwards to break the contact... issue from new!

....it appears at Team Valley Land Rover that the only real issue on a Disco 4 is squeaky rear brakes, which I have had and the LR tech fixed it on the drive Thumbs Up

Mine was just as bad (I guess black isn't the best colour at this time of year)...and I have oem flaps.....don't think they make as big a difference as people think.....It went in for some cosmetic repair work and came back on a low-loader on Saturday all shiny and sparkling......its now back to looking like a dried out salt lake.... Embarassed
Does every Council salt their roads with the zeal of Scottish Borders Council ?.....never got below 5c last night and the gritter was out Confused

Coming back from Blackgrange the road looked like a lime quarry road.. White over, with clouds of salt coming off the tyres.

..nope, not seen salting like it!
