Drove my 130 home from work last night, approx 15 miles on local roads and 35 miles on motorway - the difference is certainly noticeable, it's not hugely WOW but felt smoother with more low down grunt which in all honesty is what I asked for - I wasn't interested in top end (although Pete has removed the speed limiter
 ), proof of the pudding will be on Sunday when I tow the ifor with the trayback on, I'll report back after that.
What I will say though is that the service from BAS was excellent and in my book that means a lot ! |

Cheers
I want to continue the Vesuvius on the outside as suggested by DJ in a subtle way .... difficult to be subtle with orange though  |

But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Is that a tree / rock slider on the side if so I think that'd look good orange.

Glad you liked that idea - dash is looking sound. I'll dig out so pics of MrsH 's Smart car after its conversion from white with grey trim to orange with grey trim (Ford RS orange) Made a stunning difference, not everyones taste but different from all the others. Your orange is looking a bit more subtle anyway so going in the right direction. Keep the pics coming.

I did think of that Ken but thought it might be nice to stick with an actual Land Rover colour ...
