Luckily I kept my freelander so its not such an emergency to get everything on the list completed at the same time. I'm going to get the hub bearing, tyres and breaks done first, then do the other stuff as I get to it. Ant did go through everything with me before, during and after the test...

Hi Ant Thanks for that. By no means was my last post a moan at you! I knew about most of the faults when I bought the car and its within my budget to fix it (or I would have looked at something else). I had hoped that I could do the jobs that needed doing over the next few months instead of...

So I remembered my local Lr specialist was doing free vehicle safety checks for regular customers so I thought why not, getting a second opinion from a more trained eye than mine can never be a bad thing. I've just got back and I'm quite disheartened with the results. As the mechanic is a...

I read somewhere (but cant for the life of me remember where) that I can change the headlights for driving abroad using a lever in the car somewhere. Is this right and if so, how do I do this?

I kind of see where you're coming from. I also like my vehicles as original as possible, but in this case, the giant bullbars on the front entailed drilling 4 holes through the bumpers to fit. I'm not really a fan of them, and I've given myself a week to grow into them. It's just not my...

Hi GStuart - Its a DIY garage in Essex - link is http://u-spanner.co.uk/. Its in Essex, which isnt exactly local to Maidstone, but as I'm in Essex every couple of days, its local enough for me.

Well there is still the torque converter to do, which I understand is a big job, but I've booked some ramp time at a local makerspace next week so, assuming I get the part before then, that will be done soon too. Only job after that is add an android system (any recommendations?) and give the...

Perfect. I actually looked on ebay yesterday or the day before and this didnt show up in my results.

Tie rods and drumsticks ordered and will be here tomorrow. I'll fit them friday. New battery also ordered - should be here tomorrow too, but not sure - they were a bit non-committal on the phone. Seat valence trim arrived, they sent the wrong colour so was sent back this morning. Promised...

Well I've ordered a load of parts - including all the bits you mentioned - and a few other trim pieces too, so she is being fixed and looked after. No need to worry :)

Sat in it a bit. Worked out how to use the stereo and satnav (I think...). Got a warm behind from the seat warmers. Got out and stared at it a bit, then went indoors and ordered some new tie rods and a drivers seat switch valence.

Well I did have work to do tomorrow on some client software, but I think I might suffer some "unforeseen upgrade problems" meaning I have to go offline for a while so I can get these working :D I was looking at these for the freelander but never got round to buying them. Yet another bonus on...

Hang on a minute! How do I turn those logo lights on? Oh, and she's gone to a very good home - I promise I'll take proper care of her!

Already on it. Within a few minutes of getting her home last night I'd ordered a new key and a couple of interior trim pieces as they were cheap. Next will be the torque convertor (which I'll hopefully get ordered today) and once that's done I will start making my way through the list. Sorry...

Well Saint was a thoroughly nice chap but a bit upset as he no longer owns an L322. On a somewhat related note, I do! Thanks Ant, I'll enjoy her for many years to come :)

Yes I did thanks, sorry, I thought I had already replied!

Hear hear!

Oh that one... heard it all before :D

And what would that be? lol

I've arranged to go and see it tomorrow. All being well, It'll be on my driveway a few hours later :)
