So far it’s just been replacing bulbs and yanking the odd bit of trim out lol.
That’s the thing I thought a genuine LR one is the best bet but loads of stories of them being not great. Interested to see what comes of tomorrow inspection.
Ha ha yes do what one, just holding off incase I need to spend £200 on a denso alternator.

the FBH will only come on below i think it’s 6c , u will see a frost symbol on ur dashboard when it’s cold enough to fire
there are several kits that u can get , have to be careful with draining ur battery
yes the iid can purge it but there is a software program u can get
here’s an extensive write up about them and the timers ,
hope that’s helps and plse ask if u have any questions

Yes that’s what I read about them. Deffo been cold enough of late but I don’t think it’s activating because the car is still cold in the mornings.
Need to try and figure out which kit is best. The ones that activate via an app seem the best option.
Good to know when I get the IID tool, see if it’s working properly.

I thought I would see the temperature gauge rising when starting the car and the heaters warm straight away.
Also seeing smoke from the front week. Non of which are happening.
No offence taken mate at all

Misses took the car to the garage and of course today the hand brake lights aren’t on 
They plugged it in and came back with hand brake switch fault. Unfortunately or though they have a test switch they couldn’t use it because it wasn’t showing a fault at the time.
But gave me some advice on cleaning it and said to pop back if it comes on again.
So looks like as long as the wiring is ok then it’s a fairly inexpensive problem to fix. Will keep an eye on it.
They were done in 15 minutes and the best part is they didn’t even charge us a penny for doing it.
Top marks to LRS Engineering, will deffo be a returning customer.

perfect , thks so much for taking the time , so that’s where they go, lol,
that drivers side panel is a pig to try and get out , mines got a split in the panel, but as it’s well hidden it can’t be seen, when i remove it , will repair it at the same time
doubt super glue will be any good, it’s where the panel has been bent and straightened , will have a look on ebay for a suitable glue
thks again and most appreciated
wonder if something like this might work ???

Not a problem mate.
Yes it was a complete sod to try and move it far enough to get my fingers in to get to the wires out. Can see how removing the whole thing and refitting it must be an arse.
That could well be the best bet for it, the mesh should help keep it in place.
Looks bloody massive when it’s out lol.

Looking over my wheels today, got some pretty bad paint peeling plus the tyres haven’t got a great amount of life left in them.
Looking at over £1000 for a new set of decent tyres plus a refurb so think I’m gonna be looking for a replacement set of wheels instead.
Wanna go for a set of factory LR 20’s as its on road only for now plus they still seem to drive well unlike 21’s and 22’s.
Think these are top of the wish list, don’t see them as much as other sets. Just not sure if I’d want them silver, grey, black or the more expensive diamond cut.
