Went to replace my number plate lamp with the Optimill one with a reverse camera built in. It seems whoever owned it before had replaced the original with an LED one, which is fine but they clearly had an aversion to connectors, as they have removed them and just soldered the wires and taped...

Fantastic thanks!

Thanks. If I get a recon one, is that something that easy enough to replace? I once reconditioned the turbo for an L series Freelander with a kit I got online - but that engine is quite easy to work on.

The new Dysons are crap. Sharks are much better. (I'm told G-Tech are also good but I haven't tried one myself). If you're going for a Henry, I would suggest a George instead (the blue one). New Henrys have restricted power due to eco legislation, but Georges are exempt because they are designed...

Hi, took it for a blast today on the motorway. While going full pelt up a gentle hill the power suddenly dropped off. It still drove but was very under powered until I switched it off and on again, then it was fine. It felt like limp mode except there was no MIL lit. Hawkeye shows code P0299. I...

Fitted a quick-release steering hub, noticed that the steering column is looser than it probably should be! When it reaches full lock the whole column (including cowls and switches etc) actually twists a bit. Pretty sure it's not meant to do that. A job for the weekend then!

Replaced headlight switch - all ok now :)

John Craddock sent a wiper switch. And of course they're only answering the phone until 1pm.

No not yet, but whatever happens it would be good to have a spare. Was thinking of getting a Lucas one; very slightly more expensive but better reviews.

Are there any better quality after market ones out there? All the ones I can see look fairly cheap (for a LR part) so I'm not convinced they'll be top notch.

A mate is en route to escort me home with side lights :)

Currently stuck on Exmoor in a Defender with a broken headlight switch and no headlights. I’d say this never happened in my Freelander, but it actually has happened in my Freelander. I must have some powerful EM discharge from my fingers that breaks switches. It’s the only logical conclusion...

Took it for an MOT. It passed - after a few minor tweaks.

I'll let you correct that little issue first :P

That's fantastic! I want one!

Hi, I bought a roof-rack on Ebay that was advertised with postage, not noticing that the seller added a note to say it was collect only. It's a 4 and a half hour round trip for me so I wondered if anyone lives between me (Somerset) and Stourbridge, would they be willing to help with part of the...

Made me properly laugh, thanks!

Bought it. Will be delivered on Thursday :)

I miss that engine, in a masochistic kind of way.

When are you going into mass production? :p
