Had sticking calipers about a month ago, did check temps other day, rear wheel centres were 16 & 17 degrees and fronts were 18 &19 so brakes and bearings seem to be running fine.

182.9 Euro's is the cheapest here for diesel.
That was my thinking. Sonething like those foam hair curlers but much longer. Maybe ask in the Freelander section?
****. There was a shed load of that dumped by the side of the road and I chucked the lot about a year ago!
Exactly like that but thinner. Brilliant. I now know what to search for.

Ah OK. In my case it has always been the switch in the centre console causing the problem so it has been lazy locking to the rescue.

I've had a look. I reckon the boot probably needs something close to 15mm to fill it and the door seals closer to 10mm. 5m of 15mm backer rod is £80! A new (genuine) tailgate seal is £180. Meanwhile, for £25 I can get this:
That looks kind of tempting.

That price it’s worth a try. If it doesn’t work will come in handy for something, if it does we will have fix for next person
Mine has been leaking around the compressor spindle. Pressure was dropping slowly over several weeks, but only found the leak because I took the mag clutch off to check if that was the rattle I could hear when engaged. There were no other dye signs anywhere on the system.
