So what news on the Range Rover TD6? Well there was someone that was interested in buying it, but they have been giving me the run around, promising this and that, and in the end (right at the last minute) decided they didn't want it.
This has caused me a few problems, but nothing we can't sort out. Moral to that story is don't trust anyone when they say one thing, they likely mean something else.
Anyway moving on from all that drama, we had the car put through it's CT, and it failed. It failed on some rather large items, which normally would mean scrapping the car or at least breaking up for spares. trouble is the car is too good for scrap.

The big failures happen to be both the front and rear sub-frames! On a normal car this would be a fairly easy job to do, but on a Range Rover with four wheel drive and air suspension, it gets a bit more complicated. I could probably do the work myself, however being in a wheelchair makes it a bit tricky.
Having mentioned previously that I would hold a Ben's Garage event here in France, there was a lot of interest. I thought I would put out the idea of a Ben's Garage event where everyone could help out in the fixing of our old TD6. That notion has also gained a lot of interest, so plans are being laid out to get something arranged for 2022.
If you have been following us here at Ben's Garage, and you want to help out at an event being held here next year and want to find out more, then please check out the link below.

That's about it for the TD6, I am going to re attach the intercooler hose and we shall continue using it on our land to pull the trailer about, and other off road duties. So it will still appear in videos I would imagine, and then hopefully get a new lease of life with the help of our loyal followers next year at some point.
So for now, take care of yourselves & Bye for now.
