Hi all you Freelander Groupies, me being the best of us all.
I've just returned from the UK, having visited family & friends. Yeah, I know, all very boring. Good drinking buddies, though. lol
However, when I plan to visit the UK I always visit Ebay beforehand, buying everything under the sun for all kinds of projects associated with my FL1. I live in Spain and it's a desert for parts. I could get most things posted here, but the P&P equates to as much or even more than the original unit's cost. Sigh.
1. I'm about to install a bespoke Headlight Washing system, and all parts bought for under £11. I saw a FL2 with the same kind of (chunky) thing and thought I could do a lot better for much less. I've had cars that had them as a normal extra and they were most handy as well as beneficial.
2. Reversing sensors? As easy as drilling into a pie! I've got the kit (from China), which was inexpensive. My hire-car had them and they worked brilliantly. I'm hooked. Or is it... Beeped?
3. Rain & Wind Deflectors. Easy to install & well worth it.
I also bought a series of replacement sensors and more, including a nice shiny end-pipe extension to my exhaust. The reason for that is because there can be a sniff-sniff of exhaust when I have the rear-door window open in summer. The extra length of pipe should enable the exhaust to be carried away in the slipstream more-so than normal. Industry does the same for pollutants by building higher chimneys - called air-dispersal, or at least they used to. I'm just adopting their old but well tested methods.
I will be taking photo's, as well as recording what I need to do, such as drilling holes as well as selecting power supply wires, or whatever.
Watch this space.
And should I do more they will be included as well. I love the challenges. My FL1 - 2.
