AJM you have done to yours what I intended to do to mine when I first got it and was doinga fair bit of forestry work. I noticed some of your pics whilst browsing the lr section on piston heads. I think I mmanaged to waste at least a couple of hours looking at pics of other peoples land rovers, once I started I couldn't stop. :thumbsup:

Russell thats pretty much the same treatment I give mine when I can get away with it. We should start a new OCD club. My next question is how did you train your son to be so helpful.(top job Russell s son )
Its the bulbs that give the blue effect but not when they light up, meant to give off light equal to daylight. They were from hids4u I will check to see if I still have receipt
I love doing that sort of thing, almost find it relaxing Its one of the only things I do when away on holiday in the summer My work love it because they now don't need to pay out hundreds for a good valeter to come in and valet all the cars, they get me to do it
I would happily sit and polish/wax/clay bar any of the forum members cars for a small cost and if they can get the car to me for the day 2009 Discovery 3 HSE - Gone

I also enjoy doing mine but it is bloody hard work. You could have yourself a few customers once word gets out. I would only let someone else clean my car if I could trust they knew what they were doing and I'm probably not the only one. You've got a good name on the forum so im sure a few locals will be in touch.

I get the feeling the polish/wax/clay bar treatment might be a bit wasted on mine

Johnny.
Yeah, i've a few pic's on there. It's good to look back and see how far it's come.
I might email the previous owner when i'm done with it. To let them see what happened to it.
Mud master, off road days, parking in ditches and all... In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.
