I thought the turbo was a bit too loud on boost yesterday so re-tightened the new silicon hoses - much better now with just a very faint whistle just like it was in the Disco 
Also realised that reverse light wasn't working last night so took a look today expecting it to be the switch (as I'd had to adjust that last year) but no Dunno what it is as bulb ok but no power getting to light or the 2 connectors that fit to the switch. Fuse is ok too

Try drying the windows inside with a shammy and some kitchen roll.
Then put some neat washing up liquid on a cloth and smear it all over the inside of the windows.
Allow to dry and the problem of misted up windows should go away.

You know I've done that for years on bike helmet visors, never occurred to me that it'd work on car windscreens too! :doh:

I had someone reverse into my disco a while back not a mark mine but they got a nice towball shaped dent on theres and also had one of the local boyracers bounce the front of his car of my rock slider as he was trying to wheel spin round a corner. I wanted to shout at him for getting paint on mine but was laughing too hard at the state of his front bumper, lights, wing...etc:hysterically_laughi
We now call them "chav sliders"

Today a mate and I replaced the bias plate on my Disco and then we had a go at fixing the broken passenger door lock.
All pretty boring stuff I guess but what I found, or rather didn't find, around my bias plate made me furious.
We'd drilled out the rivets, pulled out the upper seal they held in place and discovered a dinky round rubber seal - all that remained of the lower seal/gaiter that should have been there!
It protected nothing, the bias plate was covered in water and oil and the whole of the area was littered in swarf and drilled out rivets from a previous job.
The gearbox was replaced a few years back by what I thought was a respectable and renowned landrover company. Now it is obvious that they charged me full whack for a refurbished gearbox that they'd simply yanked out of some doner vehicle - and wedged in mine. They'd done such a slapdash job they couldn't be bothered to put a proper seal in and they cost less than a tenner! Not to mention that the one on my old gearbox would surely have been fine.
I suspect that their doner vehicle still has my very nice gaiter and a nice refurbished gearbox too probably
I'll refrain from typing what I've been saying all day but is there a suitable forum for naming and shaming (slagging off) garages for doing a slackaday job?

must say not sure about the A bar but the bumper stays
that is made from 3mm stainless (good for demilishing walls and last time out brand new volvo estates )the A bar asked a guy to weld it on and was not impressed with his work tbh might cut it off and re-design it a tad .
