Or was it LR-ify the Ford EUCD platform, on which it's built. The FL2 is basically an S-MAX, Galaxy, and Mondeo underneath the LR body panels.

So posting your pictures on LZ and facecloth, that's why you haven't got enough time to fix your big un'
Or are you practising on the model so you get it right?
I can just imagine you, sat on the carpet making Brum Brum noises

Sorry chaps.
I have a growing collection of die-cast freelanders that bring a smile to my face.
Won't get much done this weekend as, if the weather is ok, I'll be helping a local member of this site to heft the bell housing back into his Td4 after changing the slave cylinder. I'll just be there for extra weight and encouragement though!

If I remember aright, it's also the Discovery Sport's and (in a much modified form) the Evoque's platform, together with a Jaguar and the Volvo S60. That EUCD thingy certainly gets about.

Sorry missed this one.
I used underseal to stop corrosion and to stop the 2 different metal types reacting with each other, both on the wheel carrier and the door handle. Just a thin coat and carefully painted on, looks nice and is easy to patch up if a bit wears off.

When refitting the tailgate door handle is it worth a bead of sealant around the inside of the poorly made rubber seal to try and stop/slow the recurrence of rot? Or is the rot caused by the water getting past the poorly made window seal?

I did put a bead around mine which does seem to have helped.
I was looking at it the other day and it does look as if it's starting to come away again. Only a couple of mil, which isn't bad as I refurbished it about 5 year's ago.
It'll be interesting to see what it looks like when I pull it off. Don't think it will be this weekend, as snow is forecast around here, think you'll be getting wet round your way, so take a brolly to stand under.

See my avatar - when we were on holiday as a family in Cornwall, found this in the toy shop in Padstow - as it is in a colour close to Epsom Green, I had to have it! Shame the interior is black and has the wrong wheels, but hey, not bad!

Cleaned up the spare wheel holder and primed it.
A test with the rattle-can Buzzweld CIO has shown it to be a bit dull for use on this so I think I'll go with the stone chip idea- I like that idea. Or U-Pol satin black....
