    2018 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Corris Grey

    Well got the car back this afternoon - Its still faulty!

    They told me they couldn't get it to fail and that it could be intermittent. I tested it at the dealership and there was no double beep, so I thought it was sorted (even though they didn't do anything!)

    However, got the car home and the first time I went to go out in it I got the two beeps again! Evil or Very Mad

    So i'm going to record this as a video on my phone and drop back into the dealership to prove I wasn't telling porkies! Bet i've got to wait yet another 3 or 4 weeks for another time when I can get a loan car with them.

    2018 Discovery Si6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    Snow foamed the dust magnet again today.

    Becoming a Saturday chore now which I was hoping too avoid Rolling Eyes

    Replaced all 4 LR badges with black and silver ones.

    Replaced all the dust caps with the LR ones.

    Fitted the rigid boot liner.

    (Received a parcel from the dealer. They kindly sent up the Luxury carpet mats as they gave me the Premium ones instead when I picked car up and forgot too give me the trailer number plate).

    So I hoovered the interior out and took out the Halfords mats that we have been using, and replaced them with the Luxury mats.

    Fixed the number plate onto the trailer.

    I now have a spare set of new rubber mats, a rigid boot liner, and a set of premium mats, black with blue piping, if anyone is interested. PM me) Thumbs Up

    I forgot too tell the Mrs that I had all the above from the FE in storage and she ended up purchasing all the above. She incorrectly assumed I had given them back with the car when it was rejected. I am reluctant too tell her that she has ordered doubles. Rolling Eyes

    Oh I forgot too mention that I also fitted the 24gb data sim and fitted the drivers seat cover which arrived today. Cracking quality and excellent fit. Never had a cream one so opted for the sand colour. Alot easier too take off for washing purposes than the tight fitting LR ones, and alot cheaper.

    Took of the black wheel caps which I also fitted yesterday. Don't suit the car and makes wheels look smaller and dated. Only bought them as I thought would compliment the badges.

    Trying too take off the paddle extensions but are stuck solid. Even applying the hairdryer is not helping Big Cry

    Drove from hailsham. To Canterbury only 60 mile but the road we choose (That's me and the sat nav) were horrendous surposed to be A roads but for most parts I've been on bigger farm tracks. The wife got it in the ear as clearly her fault. Oh well chilling now in the 24 deg heat.

    Most of the UK has had a great week for the time of year. Actually for anytime of year. Dropped very lucky with our holiday. Still, we have another week or two for normal service too resume. Crying or Very sad

    I grumbled about the weather over Saturday!

    Lots of nice, sunny weather most of last week, ended with a big thunderstorm on Saturday (see picture).

    Typical, must be something about the chemicals I use to wash the car - they always seem to make it rain!! Rolling with laughter

    Snow foamed the car and powerwashed it afterwards.

    (The amount of pollen fallout during the week had left a blanket of fine dust all over it. Was only washed last weekend, and mixed with the rain during the week seemed too just make the pollen stick even more too the bodywork, leading too blotchy water stains all over it) Crying or Very sad

    Then I finally got round too putting the gloss black vents onto the bonnet, after I had prepped the car. Dont look too bad even if I say so myself Laughing
