It seems that the majority of the damage that daddy performed on Vick’t car last weekend was on the bracket that holds the compressor in place for the suspension system. The challenge now is in locating a bracket only as Land Rover apparently don’t freely sell the bracket on its own…
Fingers cross as it will be MUCH cheaper to repair if only a bracket….
We all wish you a wonderfilled day 🙂

Because of alloy damage to mummy’s car, daddy bought some AlloyGators that effectively fasten between the wheel and the tyre on each wheel and they protect the alloy from kerb damage. They arrived during the week and daddy set to work fitting them this morning.
He popped the jack under the car and didn’t check properly what he was jacking – there was a space that he thought was the right place – clearly he is a muppet and didn’t check properly.
Bottom line is that the compressor for the air suspension is now potentially damaged which could cost upwards of £1,000 to fix 🙁 All to save £500 of having the wheels re-cut.
Not happy doesn’t even come close…
To top it all, he has run the battery flat in re-inflating the tyres so we will only know of the potential damage once the car has a re-charged battery and has been taken out for a drive.
IDIOT 🙁
Poor Elliot has been up since 1:30am with severe stomach cramps. He was then sick shortly after 6am and again a little while later.
We are not sure if he has a serious issue kris just being Elliot 🙁
Currently he is laid out in the lounge watching cartoons – hopefully he will get better soon…..
We set off just as the formula one race was finished (thanks for making us late daddy) and got over to Halifax in time to make it to the table at the restaurant just a few minutes before the booking 🙂
We enjoyed a lovely meal in a very busy restaurant. The food was the usual high quality and we took just over a couple of hours to enjoy the food and company. Next time, daddy has vowed to get the jumbo Haddock and Chips that Elliot and Oliver shared – the thing was a monster and was possibly one of the nicest he has ever tried (clearly needed to check the quality before unleashing it on the boys – part of being a responsible parent) and the boys barely left any behind at all…..
When we got home daddy fitted the replacement side steps onto Bruce and had both cars cleaned on the outside. They are both in dire need of some TLC as they are rather scratched up at the moment sadly 🙁 They will both need a full day to get them back to former glory externally…
