Default I think it will be a new toy

Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I was contacted about an auction of Land Rover and Jaguar parts. At first, they sent me some photos, and without knowing how big it really was, I went to see the parts with a friend.

When we arrived, it turned out to be the entire stock of spare parts from a JLR dealership dating back to the 90s, so I was blown away! I was in paradise: doors, bumpers, and hundreds of parts of all kinds.

After we finished, and sat down to calmly examine everything with my friend, we realized what was there. At least two 40-foot shipping containers full of parts and pieces. However, two things really surprised me and made me want them: the workshop manuals for the models and the vehicle scanner.

After some time, many calls, and conversations with people, we finally managed to go with another friend and sit down to review, piece by piece, what we were going to buy. The result? We filled two Land Rover Discovery 2s, and we had to go back and fill another one. My greatest achievement: I got my hands on the scanner and the manuals.

I'm sharing some photos of the things we bought. I'd appreciate any advice on how to use the scanner, and I welcome your comments.

Have a great day!

Boy, a score like that doesn't come around very often.
