Thats about what my local was quoting when I asked out of curiosity

Oil change and some air filters and a brake flush possibly.

parts and supplies for this service is about $100-$120 using OE materials. Probably about an hour of labor.

You do get a multipoint inspection and a car wash too of course.

...because of two reasons:

1. I wish JLR flipped the location of that guide when they moved the glovebox from left to right, then it would've been trivial.
2. The damn thing is impossible to see, it would've been even more trivial if one knew how the thing is designed.

...if you watch Simon's video and understand the design. Starting at about 2:55 (with INCORRECT instructions just before that), and with the crucial view at 3:22.

No screwdriver is necessary, just fingers.

Enjoy.

PS: Why didn't I think of it before? To save you a click, this is what's inside.

 

With the miles creeping up I’ve decided to shorten my oil interval to 8,000 mikes.

Got to tinker with a mate’s Defender. Installed his tow eyes. L’orange looks good on Gondwana.

bonus Grenadier action. Helped fit this Expedition One bull bar.

A great fun weekend.

 

Curious how long that rear bumper removal took you. I have to tackle that this spring / summer now my warranty is up - I have the rear tow hooks to install. Any tips (other than watch the Powerful UK video)?

 

I removed my rear bumper a few weeks ago to install the tow hitch receiver and it was painfully easy. It is very straightforward and simple. The Powerful UK video is all you'll need. The clips are very strong, and you need to be doing something stupid to break one. Once the wheels were off, the bumper was off within 10 minutes. Granted, I was using a lift, which made things easier. Will definitely take a bit longer if doing it on your driveway.

 

This was my second time installing these after doing my own some years back. The bumper removal is very straightforward but I wasn't sure what extra was involved with the rear mud flaps on this one.

The two top bolts holding the mud flaps need to be addressed. An 8mm Nyloc nut and two washers on each are removed. Then it all comes off with ease. The flaps also made repositioning of the wheel arch liners more difficult. Took me a while to figure out the process.

You do not need to remove wheel arches. Just carefully finagle the bumper off them. Very doable. Especially important if you have the extended wheel arches. Best not to mess with the adhesive on these if possible. It'll never be the same.

All in it was 3 hours for the whole thing. I'd estimate less than half that without rear flaps in place.

 

There used to be a great Irish bar in Louisville, Ky, called The Irish Rover. I think I still have a bumper sticker from 30 or so years ago. PM me your address and I'll send it to you!

Great post -- and thanks for the encouraging words on installing the rear towing hooks. I need to do this on my 90 (2025) but the thought of breaking a bunch of single-use plastic clips and rivets has had me putting it off indefinitely.
