Made some cosmetic changes to my car. It came with unsightly (to my eyes) headlight protectors and was otherwise standard.
Added black grille, side vents, door handles and lettering from the Discovery Sport. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it 😁
Now just need to source some black wheels and maybe replace the silver side steps..

Replaced the offside rear door latch. Took twice as long as it should have trying to get the stupid end of the door handle cable in the stupid mechanism of the stupid latch. Add to that with eyesight getting worse and trying to see in the door cutout, and failing miserably. Neighbours can't have been impressed with my ranting!

Cleaned the MAP sensor. Absolutely bogging . Limp mode now gone (for now) . Waiting for better weather to tackle the source of the red air bag light.Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.

Villager...Grill looks good,
I have fitted a similar one, but with a black outer and silver centre section, I'm thinking, I prefer the
full black version like yours now, might have to get the spray gun out.
Fitted a waterproof boot liner - promptly tested this evening by the puppies! Puked all over the boot! (wife was driving!!!) 2008 Discovery 3 2.7 HSE

Finally got the rear ARB bushes changed. This was the second attempt. Truly a pain in the process and took almost four hours to get done. The nuts were quite seized and the shop got them loosened with a lot of WD40, induction and coaxing. Results are fabulous - no more clunking from the back!
Below a few pictures of trying out induction before attempting it for real on the vehicle.

Not quite in same league as DiscoStu (although being a 2011 vehicle mine was already 21st Century )...
MoT ... passed with advisories about front bushes "degraded but not affecting anything but we thought we'd justify what we charged" ( I paraphrase ever so slightly )
Nextbase 312GW from Halfords ... Trade Card doesn't work for technology stuff and they didn't
let me haggle either.

Replaced front left outer parking sensor, IID said it was causing the system to fail. It was correct, all good again. For now at least! Simon.

Slightly off topic but what breed are your pups? They are absolutely gorgeous. 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.
