    Not illuminating anymore?

    You will be able to buy the bottom lamps from any good car shop got about £1.25 each but the temp control ones are not so easy to get. They have a removable green silicone cap. I replaced mine with green LED's. Search for " T5 neo wedge" on eBay.£1.50 for two but they come from Japan.

    Disco Drivers are a nuisance.

    Don't tar us all with the same brush!!!! It was after a drive of a Freelander 2 at the Land Rover off road course at Coniston Cold, North Yorkshire that I decided I wanted one.
