That's a lot of work Andy. When my PDC sensors fail, I just replaced the whole system with an aftermarket kit, which cost less than 1 LR sensor. The sensors were nicer too, as they fitted flush to the bumper.

We didn't get any white stuff. Just sleety rain for us.

I so wanted to head up to Dartmoor for a day out today.

I like that.Went for a drive and filled it up on the way home.
Sometimes the easiest things in life please me!
All week I have been getting in the F2 and enjoying the smell of the leather and wafting to work, knowing that, if I dab the right peddle, I can fly to work
Today, Mrs Grumpy can have choice of cars. If she wants the F2, I can enjoy an engaging fun drive to work in the F1.
I really will enjoy either.

Rustoleum paint is pretty hard wearing, I've used this one a lot over the years.
It's available in lots of colours but from what I've seen the gloss is tougher than satin.

I think powder coating for the spare wheel carrier is a good option, but I wouldn't be overly keen for it on the subframe as its more likely to get scratched or damaged and then you can end up with unseen corrosion, and it's difficult to repair damage satisfactorily. What state was that subframe in before you got it?

Pretty good tbh
Its cleaned up well you can easily see the part number still
I am probably putting it on the next bank holiday weekend so need to paint or coat it i have poly bushes and all new arm's for the back suspension plus a recon diff well new oil seals and a fresh coat of paint on the back plate was going to buy second hand rear hubs but the ones on it are extremely clean

I shall do the rear arms too, and probably with poly bushes too. My diff and hubs will stay as is though. I polyed the diff front mount a few years ago.

I don't have a picture of the original LR wiper, as I replaced it in 2020 with the Clio one. That one had started to split, so I fitted another identical one.
Here's the Clio one I've just removed.

Had the simultaneous delight of knocking another job off the list with a replacement front caliper fitted making the world of difference, only to discover another job to add to the list. LH driveshaft inside boot split. Most annoying given that it is a GKN shaft that is less than two years old. Damn those expensive replacement parts being no better than the cheap ones!
If it's perished that's poor for genuine & only a years warranty, even ****part give two on some of their bits, not looked at FL drive shafts though.

I've found the original LR hard rubber type CV boots last much longer than the soft rubber type. However all rubber components now seem to last no time compared to the originals fitted to the vehicle. It seems rubber has changed, and not for the better.

Fitted a new throttle body and did the air flow calibration, before it went into the garage to have a replacement rear diff (from Bell Engineering) fitted.
Massive difference to how it drives now, so much smoother and lot less noise.
