Looking good Andrew - you have got my vote sir...:thumbup:

Today, I finally fitted my new double-DIN radio bezel.... ….The CZP item is a much better fit and finish that the Z-ThirtyTwo one I had previously....:thumbup:

It is indeed Andrew - New Year's day, or thereabouts... :wink:

Here's a couple of random selfies from my 'phone...… …..And please let's not mention the forbidden one...:wink:

Nice one JP....:thumbup:

Happy birthday for yesterday Kev - hope you had a good one mate...:happybday: Richard:thumbup:

What does the fluid smell like mate.....? Coolant has a very distinctive smell - like fenugreek

I'm thinking the same too.... Looks way to far to the right, to be from the cooling system. Good luck mate; hope it's not too bad:clover:

Quality fuels being the operative words!! Yes, I do appreciate that pretty much all fuels come from the same refineries, but the likes of Shell, BP, Esso, Texaco etc., will then add their own detergents - and all to pretty much the same standard - just avoid the cheapo (or not always so cheapo), odd lesser known brands:wink: Avoid supermarket fuel too, IMO, but if you have to, then only go for their super UL; as the higher octane should help. Some members swear by Tesco Momentum and I have used Sainsbury's Super UL in the Zed when caught short - with no ill effects.

Yup - and I did the same a short while back.... For the very same reason; I'm keeping my original one, just in case, but decided to buy a new MAF at that price before they become NLA!!

Happy 40th mate - hope you have a great day!!!! Richard:happybday:

Yup - I still would, if I'm honest mate.....:wink: Still living on the Defender's reputation; yes. But able to go where other 4x4s struggle - a Land Rover or Range Rover will probably do it. Only last year, during a period of heavy snow, I paid a visit to our work's yard. The access road is up a steep incline - which early that morning was covered in a sheet of ice. No-one had driven up it - some of my colleagues had tried, in (for example) a Ford Ranger, a Ford Kuga with awd, and a Rav-4 - and failed.... I did wonder why they had left their cars at the bottom and walked up. When I had breezed straight to the top without issue in Julia's Evoque, without even bothering to engage snow/ice mode...:biggrin: Granted, days like that are few and far between - and yes, I'd LOVE a Defender (a nice SWB V8 would make me very happy) - but I would still buy any LR..... Apart from the fugly new (and stupidly expensive) Discovery. What were they thinking:lol::oops:

Thanks Gary....:thumbup: There are a couple of bits on the paintwork that need putting right - but nothing major; and still have to replace my DD-radio surround (which I have in the garage). Oh, and get it to Jimmer for a new cambelt and AC regas…. But otherwise yup; happy to be back in the Zed again...:cool:

Hi Dave - and welcome back!! Richard:thumbup:

Nothing today..... …..But on Saturday, I fitted my newly acquired third brake light (thanks Tom.....:cool:)…. And on Sunday, I filled the Zed with fuel and took a trip to Waterperry - just a little trip, mind, but at least I have the obligatory pictures (@JP - LOL)....:thumbup:

Amen to that, Mike....:thumbup::cool:

Happy birthday for yesterday Andy - hope you had a good one mate:happybday: Richard:thumbup:

Unless of course you want/need 4wd....:lol: In that case it certainly doesn't mate - I don't dispute that Peugeot has upped its game, but the 3008 was not available in 4wd, last time I looked!

I agree - and don't agree mate....! A friend at work replaced his c43 AMG for an M4; and whilst the M4 was without doubt the better car (it's a competitor to the c63, after all), it never sounded as good. That's where I drew my comment from; he took me out a few times and whilst the car sounded good inside, when we opened the windows, it did not sound half as good...:wink: His c43 (and my slc43) sounded way better!! Might be to do with the BM being a straight-6 and the Mercs being a v6. I still do like the M4 though, don't get me wrong, and would indeed buy one myself!

Must go and get a copy....:thumbup:

Excellent video Tommy - thanks for sharing...:thumbup:

Agreed - but then even BMW uses it in the M4, which IMO, is a decent car.... Pretty crap, though when you think the car sounds good, but then you open the window...:lol:

Looking good Trish...:thumbup:

Count me in for this as well Si.....:thumbup: 1: Funkysi (Simon) 2: AndrewG 3: nickz32 4: Joely P 5: RichardS
