Starting the Year off Right, Sorting Out A Few Annoying Things
After I took the Christmas lights off the house I moved the Range Rover into the shelter of the garage. It’s a little bit chilly out there and being out of the wind seemed like a good idea. The first annoying problem I looked at was the problem opening the driver’s side door. As most[…]
Finger Lakes Rover Club Tech Tips

Garage clean up, moving spare parts, adjusting the door
