Well done getting them off. I saw an "expert" on Pootube using fine grit wet and dry sandpaper on headlight lenses followed by lacquer but I've no idea how long it lasted after, he claimed years of people using product to clean them made them worse. I suspect that the lacquer would need to have...

Not sure if it will help but the wings come off pretty easily. Unbolt at the top then a couple of screws in the door shut and one or two in the wheel arch. You would be lucky to drill the bolts without melting a lot of plastic.

Don't you need to remove the bumper to take the headlight out? Maybe easier to in situ.

The link doesn't work for me as I don't use MS but maybe will be OK for others. It's for me OK cause I don't need them but was just asking in case it would be helpful for other 3 door owners.

Lovely job. :)

It didn't happen if we don't see the photos. ;) Links to the stl files would be nice too. :)

Last time I worked on a prop shaft I had to use a sledge hammer on the chisel as the gentle tapping shown in the video had zero effect. I needed a new bolt too but the most important thing is the shape of the chisel.

Over here they would fail it for a bad tyre but I've never heard of them failing a car because of a belt. I don't think it's even on their list of things to look at.

Take the top off the steering column (three screws from below) then take out the 6 screws as shown and when it's out you'll see how to take off the painted bits. I sprayed mine satin black as they were a bit scratched and the result was great.

I think GG is referring to a 2nd spare tyre which given the miles you'll be doing makes sense. As the others have said looking awesome! :D Have a great trip.

F1 Freelanders are very well proportioned beside stupid looking fat modern SUV's. Every time I park mine in a carpark I glance back with a little pride while walking away.

Yes mate, paddles might be a project when I run out of other things to do. With my levels of procrastination ever increasing I'm not sure when that will happen. 🤣

I wouldn't fuss too much about the type of bolts or corrosion. Unless your a sucker kinda guy you'll be removing at least once per year for servicing anyway.

Extra 5hp!

Nice find mate, they look like fun. My MG gives around 100kW on full regen and maybe even more with the brake but I'm trying to be sensible and start out with a bit less with this setup. However as I have the attention span of a nat, I've flip flopped back to the charging issues and have built...

A Whine from the engine or transmission? Does the sound change when revving or driving?

Point it at the sun next time it shines.

Very in Very interesting. I haven't had a chance to look at this yet but my car is controlled by Open Source hardware and software. In fact the VCU is basically just an Arduino Due with some additional components to control 12V outputs and inputs. ;)

Don't muck about with crusty old calipers on the front. These things cost less than a tank of diesel. Ebay linky https://ebay.us/lfAHAj

Older cars cost more to maintain but virtually zero on depreciation so in the end they are much cheaper to own. Sometimes (not always. ;)) it's better to stick with the car you know than to buy something totally unknown.
