Pulled over, put my hazards on and went for a walk to pick up my bonnet that had flown off over my head and landed in the hedge row behind me! Shocked Two small dents in it but one has broken the paint Big Cry Put it back on and carried on on my journey - idiot (like BIGFOG's parking assistant!) - filled up the washer fluid and obviously hadn't closed it properly. Think that I'll be trawling the ads for a replacement bonnet. Incidentally thats the second bonnet that has flown over my head - first time I was in my Citroen Mehari!

Took some galvanised bits to be powder coated - tubular side steps and top treads, and front mud flap brackets. Seems a bit trivial compared to the roof rack and bonnet incidents though Shocked

I hope the 'parking assistant' was suitably chastised! Darren

My dad has been using it for a bit Shocked as I've had no need to drive it (no work, nothing to do!), got it back yesterday, so me and Jess went east till the roads ran out and ended up at Flamborough Lighthouse for a couple of hours. Very nice chill spot!

ICE went in for 24 month service. Had gearbox, transfer box and axle oils changed too. Oils all came out quite clean. Great opportunity to get underneath and take pictures for the webasto install.

Started quite a good bug collection on the windscreen Rolling with laughter

This brought back memories........same thing happened to me driving a Series 3 armoured landrover in N Ireland in 1986.......I had only just passed my test and was "flying" down this road when it flew up....stayed up for a few seconds then ripped off...............shat myself!!!!! Never lived it down Life is not a rehearsal!

I almost had the same thing happen to mine, the bonnet catch was broken and it would lock the bonnet down. In the end land rover had to replace the whole locking mechanism. So if it was new I would look at that and see if it might be covered Thumbs Up Russell
