What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Well I managed to get the weekend of work and Replace the crank seal on the oil pump.....and fixed a few other things

Replaced fuse 21 so the All Terrain module is able to talk to the rest off the car
Partial fixed the Parking brake......still make a noise will re adjust the shoes later this week, its a bit weird on the dash without a flashing red triangle of doom
Buttoned up the Bull bar installation
Got the Roof lights working looking ok

Just a few more car and Trailer tent jobs, to be ready for my month away

Went for yet another drive!

This time a run to Yunta for the Yunta Rifle Club OPM.
Hybrid van one the back was an easy tow.

Freezing conditions and blowing its guts out all weekend made things interesting on the range.

My lacklustre perform didn’t help either!

But the trip was good, the company excellent and the vehicle faultless.

The new stereo made travel much more enjoyable.

Vehicle rolled through 180,000km on the return journey.

Removed all the failed login puddle lights and fitted the originals back in with led bulbs, on inspecting the failed lights I can see that the lens with the logo is just in a slide out holder so theoretically you just replace the little filter to repair them.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...287c60b8ed.jpg

I finally reached sufficient frustration level with what I think is the result of the previous owner's wife having lots of clunky jewellery on her hand - the driver's door had a number of chips and scratches just at eye height. It was driving me mad trying to think what had caused it...I only worked it out when my wedding ring 'chinked' at exactly the same location one day...

In progress - dremelled back to clean metal, phosphated, and then filled:

Attachment 180244

Cut back to 2000 grit wet or dry, window and surrounding paint masked off:

Attachment 180245

End result: its not perfect if you know where to look, but it's a damn sight better, and I'm happy:

It took me over 1000km from home to my daughter and grandson in comfort without effort.

Yours must be a gansta custom mobile with removed door handles. Don't know what else you'd use the door handles for. I've the same on mine, but not as bad, just scuffing I guess.

The oil cooler let go on the weekend so have to get it sorted out!

I thought I had access to JLR TOPIx to get some workshop manuals but it cant log me in now?

Is this JLR getting prodded for right to repair!?

Airing up in a different way. The tailgate gas struts were starting to droop a bit, possibly due to the extra weight of the Frontrunner ladder... easily remedied after a quick visit by the StrutsRegassed4U guy, they are back to their best. Also ran the GAP IID Tool Air Suspension Calibration program... all good.

Cheers

Hah! Learned something new. I'd been hitting the right hand steering wheel switch to call up the phone, but was going into the centre dash screen to scroll down to the required number to select and dial. Accidentally hit the 'track advance' button on the left hand wheel switch, and lo and behold, it works as a scroll up/down through the call list when in phone mode... Nothing earth-shattering, but one of those little things that keeps reminding me how well sorted this vehicle is. May help someone else.
