Headlight cleaning

Philgt50 said:

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to demist/clean the inside of the headlight cluster on my Freelander 1 TD4? It is the facelift front and has failed the mot on this. I am really hoping it can be done without removing the whole unit but looking at it think it can’t.
I think I have seen a post on here previously somewhere where someone did it but can’t find it. Thanks

Plenty of lens defog products available.

T Cut can also work. Cleans off easily.

I know it is another topic, but for rear brakes, loosen handbrake cable under armrest console, access through rear panel which unclipped.

Strip, clean and apply copper grease to bearing surfaces.

Reassemble. Fit drum, apply foot brake and ensure adjust works. Then adjust cable for one click to just rub shoes when turning wheel.
