@kernowsvenski don't forget new orange bulbs in side repeaters too !!

Will probably be upgrading all the front bulbs now to be honest, and I'm fitting some spots in the next few days. It should be much more illuminating!

Was just looking at the MOT history

It doesn't look that great for what I would call a well maintained vehicle if I do day so myself, but I did need to sort those headlights

What have I done to my freelander today? Nothing... But I'm contemplating donating it to the ukranian military...

Just replaced the exhaust back box on mine - it now needs a full service, refresh of transmission oils, a new NS diff seal and a NSF wheel bearing... oh, and I also need to sort the clutch hydraulic mechanism, which is now starting to annoy me. Also, I want to have a look at the gear linkages - much too much play in this rod mechanism to my liking.

Replaced the parking sensor that I replaced a couple of weeks ago with one that will hopefully last longer than a few days like the faulty one I was sent. Now to get my money back from the argumentative company that supplied it who then kept telling me I had the wrong part so it was my fault. Sausages

Wired in genuine LR driving/auxiliary lights switch and fitted a gaurd/bracket to the bumper in readiness for a pair of spotlights. Just need to sort the relay wiring out now. That'll be in the next day or two.

I fitted the bracket by threading the crossmember in the bumper but want to get some nuts onto the bolts too to be on the safe side. Anyone know if you can get a stretched arm in behind the bumper/grill without removing the bumper?

I fitted the Freelander spotlight kit on mine a few years back. Think I got them for about £30 on EBay. And they actually work and everything

Looks like it’s done about 180 thousand miles if I was to guess

I had the cartoon book of instructions for ages but not seen it for a while. I may have chucked it all somewhere ‘safe’ together. I will have a look tomorrow.

I meant the mot history doesn't look that great, with lots of advisories lol. I think the car looks pretty good for age and mileage, except for my headlining.

Fair play. I've always kept my eye out for a set but never seen them at anything less than silly money

If you want them you can have for what I paid
? I just don’t fancy chopping the bumper tbh

I'll think about it, thanks. I've done all the prep for this kind of set up now though mind...
