Ah! I saw Mrs. MDP in the RRS yesterday afternoon. Looks like she was on some sort of a mission  RRS 4.2 S/C. Zermatt. Tints. Stormers. 150+ paint defects, wonkey bonnet, scratches, detached doorseal. suspension faults. To sum it up, a £60k pile of cr4p!

Obviously off to her boyfriends then.............................

Has anybody tried using the scissor jack supplied in the boot? You're given a short "hook" with which crank it up.., impossible. I work out and still had to get a long wrench and socket. Those bloody 20" wheels are a pain too, and just try and getting the wheelnuts off after the YTS at your local Kwik Fit has gunned-them back on. Phew!!!

I popped all of them off on the first day to get the black badges in not easy about an hour and a half maybe two to do all 4  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I did the same thing as you Jay, except I'm a lazy bastard and just shoved a screwdriver through the old green badge, then slapped-on four new black-badged caps purchased for about a tenner from good old Uncle Ebay. Took me 3 minutes!!

I was gonna try that but i didn't want to the wheels up!  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I like Brian's way of business! How much is your time worth, if it's more than the cost of centre caps then just destroy the old ones!

TOP TIP! RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.

Actually, I was quite careful. Place the screwdriver against the soft plastic outer and thump with palm of hand. Alloy perfect, mind you, I broke my wrist? There goes my sex-life!!!

Thanks Envoy. But that's all a bit technical for me.., I haven't manage to get out of standard mode yet??

you mean that you havent played with every switch, pressed every button and played with every setting that you can  RRS TDV6 sold RRS, TDV8 nearly sold, Ferrari 355 sold, Cobra sold,

now driving an 06 Freelander sport

Sadly, no! But in my defence, it IS in the garage every other week. One day I'll get a chance to just get in and start enjoying the bloody thing. Then I'll tentatively push a few buttons. Mind you, true to form, I bet they'll break!!!
