Bought some roof bars for the old girl (no, the Freelander), cheap ones off eBay, as used genuine are a bit steep. Arrived a week late, box was it tatters, colour of bars was bare ally silver not black as advertised. Told courier to return them and preferably beat seller around the head with...

Father’s Day retirement planning gift from the lads. Nice! (Not eating it).

I notice Amzn have these with Sony LDAC built in (higher quality audio over bt) so I might save up pocket money for one, 35 quid!

Interesting that Pure Highway 600. I got a Belkin adaptor to plug iPhone into aux between seats, with phone sat on home made Magsafe dash mount. Not ideal with wires but it's alright.

Preventative maintenance, new tailgate struts. Oh. Reminded what NEW stands for. Never Ever Worked.

Oh. Mrs Stufer on warpath, just hung a ton of washing out as it's so hot, and some thundering blaggard has lit a garden fire upwind of ours :vb-brickwall:

Had a rented house once that had leccy meter time all messed up, econ 7 during the day! Missus said we might get lumber with leccy company, I said shhh SAY NOWT, anyway landlord wuz a right knob.

Compression test?

Finally done gearstick gaiter thing

New discs on front. Plan of a couple hours work extended to 6 by the time I'd pummled the discs off with big ammer. None of the YouTube hacks worked. Britpart XS and Delphi pads. Couldn't quite get the max 0.08mm runout on the DTI, but better than 0.2mm wobble I checked on the old discs.

Finished front light guards and roof bars. Bars were a bigger faff than existing YouTube videos make out, I should have done one really. Genuine LR kit but main parts still need to be loosly assembled off the car, then all bolt tightened up when in place. Every single plastic fir tree hole plug...

Finally grabbed a set of FL2 front light guards off feebay for 60 quid, well chuffed, I've seen some for 3 times that much. Fitted and all is good. Roof bars next!

And battery. If its a stop start system, needs an AGM battery. I'm hoping my constant Terrain Response error message it down to the muppet that fitted a non AGM battery in mine. Keeping fingers crossed a new AGM will fix that error.

Look out for musty smell inside. I thought it was old pollen filter or something like that, but wasn't. Air con drain pipe was detached behind the left foot kick panel, so water was soaking carpet under the rubber floor mat. Easy enough to fix no smell after carpet dried out.

Also asked them to do a Haldex service. Invoice just listed the oil, so I asked what about the filter?! Apparently they couldn't get the filter housing off. Seezed up, so just did oil. Disappointed with that. Is the seezed filter a thing?

FL2; Went in to local indy to have lower front suspension arms replaced. Certainly has eliminated the horrible steering shake on some road surfaces. Still get shake under braking, so that's new disc and pads to do soon.

I have more chance of finding and fitting some magical unicorn wings :(

Wait... What? You have FL2 front light guards in stock??? :eek:o_O:)

Just changed my ad in the for sale section to 'free' for 4x Michelin X Ice tyres (studs removed) to suit FL1, I need the space! Unfortunately no good for my FL2.

THIS WEEK, I ARE MOSTLY BUYIN… LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2
