What have you done to your Freelander today

Removed the rear carpet and trim etc.......and then removed 1" water from the box in the floor.

Also attempted to find the source of the leak (think its on the door seal where the door closes on the hinge side.........cheapskate that i am i tried to bulk out the door seal (which is flattened) with some airline tubing.........after finding out that a new door seal is going to set me back £130!!!!!!! Ouch.....

just drill a hole in the bottom of the fishtank - that is the usual fix .

Replaced air filters, crankcase breather, and oil filter. Tried to replace the drop links, but so far I can't remove the lower bolt, not even budging

angle grinder for the bottom bolt if it wont budge

usual fluid checks, tyre pressures etc and gave it a wash and hoover inside

Rubbed some of the good old Duckhams' Copper Grease on the Winter wheel centres and the hub spigots, to ensure they arent 'stuck' when I come to take them off next, which hopefully won't be until Springtime.

Nice one - Always a nervous day regardless of how well you have prepared.

I fitted a pair of Osram Night breaker plus H7's on the dip beams. Quite a noticeable difference.
Not sure if I will bother with the mains though?

Got fbh fixed

How difficult was that? One day I need to investigate why the key turns round and round and does nothing else on mine

Replaced the faulty? temp sensor in the top turbo hose.

Polished out a scratch in the front wing - bloody Tesco trolleys.

Painted the rear drums with Hammerite.

Filled the windscreen wash bottle with Lidl's -60 degrees C stuff.

Sprayed all the rubber door seals with rubber lubricant.

Come on Winter - do your worst!

Topped up the coolant ( minor leak from top hose into rad) refitted the propshafts and gave it a fuel and oil change.

Back breaks cleaned and lubed front pads replaced as last set squilled

Took it for a drive "Mondo" before I fit recon Vcu (from bell engineering)

Mended both rear window regulators (took them off to see what I needed to buy but managed to fix them as they were, might last a while)

Tried to repair sunroof but need parts, now ordered off ebay

looked for fbh pipe but dont seem to have one

Hi All! I'm new. Been reading for days and learned a lot thanks.

Renewing Anti-roll bar bushes today. (mushed one bold head though...going to get a nut welded on top and hope that gets it out). Hope it gets rid of an annoying clunk.

Swapping towbar from my L Series to my TD4.
