Made a little change. Can you spot the difference?



No I'm not talking about the garage door being open and closed!
New boots!!

I picked the best 4 wheels from the 10 I had and took them to have new tyres fitted, a fifth was in good condition and had a decent tyre so it is now the spare, the rest went to the scrap metal man for Filthy Lucre.

Turned out the four wheels needed a refurb so I spent a week rubbing, sanding and spraying them.
I was never 100% happy with the Nissan wheels as the spindle size was too big plus the tyres where much lower sidewall giving a firm ride. One of the things I like about Freelanders is the cushioned ride from the big side walls in the tyres.
A final bonus is the speedo is now restored to reading correctly.

Is that a typo? Was it the SRS light or ABS?

Is it one or both of the 1st/reverse sensor wires on the gearbox loose?

Opps you are correct ABS lamp not SRS. It could be that as I was working around those so I'll have a look. How do you know about that? I'd never have thought about that.

Replaced my both lower rear lights and the driver side upper light. Had small cracks on the originals and the lower lights had moisture accumulation in them. Also changed to studded winter tyres, the Wildpeaks were great even in slush & snow but they are not really designed to arctic temperatures we have here in Finland. We have had abnormally warm autumn, the snow we had couple of weeks ago has melted completely but next week it will be snowing again.
