This £25 charge appeared on the invoice for a service from my local friendly LR specialist. When I asked I was told "It's to reset the service reminder". £25?? Pretty sure I could do it myself in 30 seconds with my Hawkeye!

Tip: "cd e*" would do instead of "cd esp32ret_updater" as it's the only subdir beginning with e ;) (Us software geeks are lazy) Interesting in a geeky kind of way. It's a shame the fuel guage isn't controlled via the CAN bus, that would be a good one to adapt. I'm wondering what else it's...

Decided I'd better give the chassis the Lanoguard teatment before winter. Then noticed the fuel tank cradle had broken off at the front, and is just hanging from the rear mountings. It doesn't seem to be actually supporting the tank, so can it be replaced without disturbing the tank?

As MOT is due soon, I decided today is the day I tackle the issue with the handbrake warning light. Checked fluid level - looks ok, but noticed the sensor was broken! Took it out and wedged a wire in to short the connection and the light goes out as it should. It looks like there are some used...

Hi all. I appear to have all the parts for my soft roof, except I seem to remember there's a bit that stops the rear window dropping down. Unless it's stuck to another bit and I haven't noticed it yet. Does anyone know what it is and can they maybe send a pic and some rough dimensions as I'm...

Will have a look later. The garage is full of FL1 accessories I need to get rid of.

Possibly - what do they look like?

Yes, it did occur to me that it could still be a connection issue inside the alternator itself, and I could be chasing that forever unless I at least try another one first. And as you say, meanwhile I'm potentially damaging the battery. There seem to be some new OEM ones on Ebay for £120 ish, I...

Replaced it last year, no difference.

Hi, next on my list of problems to fix is the intermittent battery charging. I have a hard-wired voltmeter. This says 14.1 sometimes but other times varies around 12v which reduces over time (I assume due to not charging). Then it may suddently start working and jump to 14+ volts. Originally the...

Just to update, it was indeed the switch. One of the pins had broken, Thanks for the advice! 🥇
