Some of the girls are rough too. Life can be frightening for a Freelanderer.
And for peeps who drive EVs.

2 weeks in, and I think Ive got my head round most of the gadgets, tried to work out how to add the DAB bits and pieces but I think Ive given up on that now. Found a front tyre was badly worn on the outside edge which I didnt notice when I bought it, but managed to find an an unused spare on ebay so that and my spare have gone on, and Im considering £45 to be a lucky escape... Onwards!
…Read the threads about mis-matched tyres…!
Yes, thats why Ive now got a matched pair on the front

You need to remember that the steel spare is smaller in diameter than the normal tyres, so will cause wear to the Haldex clutch pack, or damage the PTU and or rear diff if used for any length of time over an emergency, especially with 2 fitted on the same axle.
All those items will cost more to replace than a full set of premium tyres.
If the spares are alloys, with the correct size tyres, then ignore what I said above.

Its a 2010 xs with the posh stereo. Had a look behind the panels in the back where the DAB module goes and no module or wiring for it, no signal booster on the shark fin dodad either. Not sure what an SDD is so Im assuming I dont have one.

An XS will have the Mid Line 9 speaker system.
You'll need quite a bit to make DAB work then. You'll need the receiver which clips to the glass. The receiver will need power and feeds a signal to the DAB module. The DAB module itself will need to be wired in to power and the MOST ring too.
The whole system will then need to be configured using a suitable diagnostic and programming device like the GAP IID or JLR SDD.
It's possible to install DAB, but not straightforward.
You have confirmed my googling, and added a couple of extras. thanks for that. Parrot type of thing is looking favourite..

I work on the basis that if it passed the test, then its good to the next one.
If there's an advisory, then, so long as its not to expensive, replace it before the next test - so the examiner knows you listen to advisories - then he's more likely to make something an advisory than a fail
If it is expensive, then wing it in the hope the last tester got it wrong and the next tester doesn't agree with him.
Oh and give the car its bi-annual (WOFs are 6 monthly on my motor) just before the test to - once again shows the tester you care for your car.
