Murcielago is going in for its annual service and to have the new brakes fitted...
I was going to do it myself, but the team at Furlonger Cars offered to do them while it was in, so I said yes.
Was nice to get the car out and use it for the run to work which is in the same town as Furlonger and took the obligatory photo from the window

Small update for the Range Rover
New headlight bulb time - I was noticing the dip beam light was getting duller and duller to the point that without the fog lights it was like driving with a candle
I have put in some lovely LED xenon replacements - WOW - What a transformation. It didn't help that the old bulbs had clouded up and I expect are the originals
I also put some new H7 in the main beam and they are back to their full glory
I didnt get any before photos but can take some after pics if anyone is interested

We’re both the l322’s of the 4.4v8 variety or have you tried the 3.6?
I quite fancy owning one.
Both have been the 4.4TDv8I quite fancy owning one.
The first one when I got it only had 28k on the clock IIRC - It was very low
I sold it at 70k
Only had two faults in that time, an oil leak that was fixed for £5 and I had to replace the radar cruise sensor, £140 for a used one
This one, was on 92k when I got it, Its 112k now - Air suspension pump failed it but was a cheap one that was in the car - Drivers seat heater doesn't work, I keep meaning to get the bit out and repaired but forget - That's been it, other than general servicing so far
Had the Murci out today for a trip to Brooklands for their AutoItalia Day. The weather held out for everyone which was fantastic
7 Murcis out today, including 4 early manuals
I was parked next to this old snooter to start with - The car of the show for me, owner has owned it for 30 years, the Ferrari 275 GTS to me is the best looking car they have ever made - It was spectacular, and the owner was fantastic too!!

OP. Great eclectic mix of cars.
A couple of days ago, whilst in the gym, I fell down a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole. At some point I came across a video of a guy who swapped his (V12??) Aston with a Murcielago for a test drive; it took a couple of seconds before I noticed the registration. Am I correct in saying it's yours? I'm pretty certain it is! It's a glorious looking and sounding vehicle
Unfortunately I have no idea who the Vlogger was, therefore I can't find & watch it again.

Yes that was my Mucri and I drove the V12 Vantage having had one before the Murcielago - It was "Challenge the Road" https://youtu.be/DTQHpe6Gfbo?si=YrGdQF4PnA5qbsJV

Have to admit, did entirely the same thing a while back.
Any photos of the headunit install?
I have had it changed now - Once you saw it, you couldnt unsee it lol Any photos of the headunit install?
Well... Its all still in the box when it arrived I will spend some time over the next few weeks thinking about where to hid all the old fashioned "brain" boxes

After 9 months of waiting, the Range Rover is finally gone to the body shop
The replacement panel arrived a week or so ago - Dropped if off this weekend, should have it back in the next few weeks without all that damage!!
I cant wait!!
SL went for its MOT this year, hopeful we get some sun to enjoy in her too! Lovely to see another clean sheet pass
