Not a bad job. Hardest part is getting the exhaust manifolds / heat-shields off as they tend to be rusted in place. Does take a while though.
His car is a Freelander.
Why's he posting in the Rangie section?!
Don't know, but his details say he has a Freelander.
All wannbe Rangie owners. Maybe the HG failure makes him feel he is in the same reliability range.
Don't know about that, some of the reliability issues with some Freelander models seems pretty dire. Same as anything depends how they are looked after i suppose.

He's probably fed up of all the posts about hair laquer, heated roller's and the best products for high light's. I asked The Enemy for the correct terminology before you get any ideas.

Some say it comes with hairdryers on the door-cards ...

Nowt to worry about then
I got an advise last week on my anti roll bar link, all done now.
Drivers door lock getting intermittent again. Definitely the Open-Close microswitch, because all else works as it should, but getting the damn mislock indications. Sometimes closing the door gently but firmly sorts it.
- Luckily I have a refurbished lock in the garage ready to install.
- Unluckily I'm in Ferndown at the moment, and 87 miles away from my garage.

Well now that MOT is sorted, time to look at a few niggles:
Noisy front windscreen wiper motor
Slight leak from oil cooler pipes
Lower tailgate latch

Had the aircon degassed last night. I asked for them to do a vacuum test to see if I had a leak.
Only a minimal amount of gas got recovered and at one point the machine gave a message of insufficient vacuum (or something like that!). Which basically confirmed there was a leak!!!
Got the condenser out last night to find traces of leakage. Would have had the new one and the new condenser fitted last night but the condenser to drier pipe was rock solid in the condenser and I found it was also damaged at the pressure switch. New one ordered at £75 - ouch!
Oh well at least I'll have the aircon back in time for winter!!!

Was that an attempt to reduce unsprung weight?
Means my socket fit in to test the VCU without having to remove a wheel and I can torque it up with the wheel fitted.

Replaced the HEVAC bulbs and ribbon cable nice bright clear display now, sorted an air con issue by cleaning connectors on drier.
Replaced o rings on heater matrix had to drill head off the screw, reassembled with no drips.
Also cleaned out the air con drains,
