Popped her up for sale on the "For Sale" section... can't put the miles on her that are about to start... so have taken the company "van" option....

More photos

The ones I removed were, I believe, the originals, 14 yrs and 100k. No record of them being changed. The sensor itself was fine but the plastic bush/connector was wearing and degrading. The biggest challenge was getting them off as the fixings were pretty gummed-up.....

I replaced mine recently with LR stock... so nowhere near your prices... sorry!

Need to move on, as change in personal circumstances mean significant mileage about to be put on this lovely truck. Had her 12 months, and was sorting everything as plan was to have her as a daily driver (see list below). Really a "no expenses spared" approach to my ownership; So, the basics...

This.....

+ 1 on the above... would love to have let you for a spin in mine, but Greenwich is a bit far... sorry!

It’s no wonder the switching is a bit iffy given that dog’s breakfast of a controller!! @brian47 Appreciate the pictures though.

“That’s it... on no... try again.... now.... no, back out again... ffs.... how difficult is this... one more go..... great, now one is out and the other folded.....”. Repeat.....

Would the real trick be the length of the pulse? Quite often I end up with the wing mirrors flapping open and shut just using the switch!

Feel you pain.... had HG done, new rad, hoses etc, now my core plug is weeping under the manifold.....

I’ve known some just pull the feed pipes off the matrix at the bulkhead where they enter the cabin and use pipe to connect the two, as you say, bypassing. Just be careful when you pull the hose off the matrix, the matrix spigots can distort, and if you find it’s not that causing the issue, you...

Sorry... replied too late! @neilly got there first!

One thought... the air conditioning has drain tubes around there. When the air is cooled it condenses, the water then drains out. Two issues: sometimes the drain tubes can be a little blocked, so it can, I believe exit in the cabin. Also the water can find itself exiting over the XYZ...

I’ve looked myself and come to the conclusion that whilst (in my opinion) the fatter bars look better, the only cross-rails that fit are the original, and rare, LR ones. So settled for using them as a slightly pointless styling addition......

Handy for the leaking sunroofs too.....:):)

@Ademcd I'll PM you... As noted, don't really want to disclose on here / infringe rules.

Replaced a sidelight bulb on my face-lift D2... what a faff.... 1) Remove headlamp protector (dealer fit when new) 2) struggle with rivnut on wing as it is loose just spins so you can’t undo the screw retaining the protector. 3) remember you have to remove grille 4) remove other headlamp...

Used a clay bar on some of the paintwork, followed by polish and wax. Now realise that Java Black is slightly metallic.... only taken me 14 months to work this out....

Turned the climate to “Lo” and to no great surprise did not get last summer’s icy blast from the vents... so booked in for a recharge on Saturday.
