I take it your kids are like mine, got their brains from their mum. :p

I hope your ashamed of yourself for this!!! 😋

Does that mean we have to call you Prof Rob from now on?

After I ordered it I noticed a disclaimer at the bottom of the ad "Note: This product can only be installed on the rear roof, not the front roof. Not applicable to all models." Any idea what that is supposed to mean? I only have one roof.

So what was the outcome?

I have done some selling on Amazon and ebay in the past and in most cases the brand is just something made up by the seller. They are selling the same item as others bought from the same factory and using the same photos supplied by the Chinese wholesaler. Often the only difference is the price...

Mmmmmmmm Working on the principle that everything on Amazon comes from the same supplier in China I looked around and found the same aerial on ebay for close to half the price https://ebay.us/szTE2W I'll order this instead and report back.

I wish I'd read this before ordering the aerial I got. I bought this one and compared to the original it's rubbish. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294924538332 I'll order the one in post 2 and try again.

But be careful not to bend or kink the seal as it has (probably rusty) steel inside and will never look right if it's bent then straightened.

to or too? Since we're being pedantic anyway. :p

Ign pos 1 or 2? I need it to work while the ignition is on pos 2.

It turns out what I should have done is lock the doors while sitting in the car then open the drivers door and lock it with the key, that way the car is locked with the ignition turned on.

Not today but yesterday I locked myself out of it and ended up smashing a window to get in! :o I still need to have the ignition switched on while it charges and as SWMBO and me were going for a walk I wanted to lock the doors. I thought I'd be smart and use the switch on the door card which in...

Used the car again for the sort of jobs I built it for. Yesterday I drove to the airport to pick up my Mrs and daughter, and today I borrowed an old horse trailer and used it to bring home two large round bails of hay. The trailer is stupidly heavy and the Mrs Ford Kuga really struggles to tow...

I'm not at all worried about either range or performance as I can always adjust the gear I use for a given speed, something OEM EV owners cannot do. Currently I never use 1st gear so maybe with bigger tyres I might, also I normally don't change into fifth gear until I'm doing at least 50mph but...

I had a big day yesterday in my Freelander EV as I drove it to a MG dealer approx 39 miles from home to see a MG5. TBH I had no intention of buying it but I wanted to have a test drive in one as I am thinking of replacing my old C Class estate and the MG5 seems to fit the bill. The problem with...

When the VCU stiffens up it puts stress on all parts of the transmission/drive train but normally it's the rear diff and/or IRD that fail.

For £85 I wouldn't bother unless you're really keen to try. It is a lot of work and you need to buy the fluid. Are you sure that is the price as it used to be a LOT more. Have you a replacement IRD as it sounds like you need one?

The VCU has a curve near the centre you need to stay away from or the hex part of the bolt/grease nipple will not seat properly. I think I drilled nearer the outside edge than the middle. The line you marked may be too close to the edge with an M16 hole but I guess it wouldn't matter if the...

The last Freelander I bought was missing 3 studs, two were missing from one wheel. I replaced them all.
