Because these ones are cheap and easy. Proper spacers are made using high grade metal, are held on with nuts and have 5 new studs for the wheels but will set the wheels out 10 or 15mm.

I had 5mm spacers for the same issue but wasn't happy with them and replaced the rims. With the way tyre fitters and mechanics hammer in the wheel nuts you need every mm of thread to keep you and your family safe. The other issue with spacers is it means the centre hub is not seated correctly so...

In fairness most LR products have the oil slick as standard issue too.

Is it an ejector seat?

Well done mate, I think most of that went over his head but I enjoyed it. ☺️ And not a rainbow in sight! 🤣

Normally one of them is in the house but it somehow ended up here. :vb-confused2: Today after washing it I jumped in and felt a drip from the interior light! Turns out the roof new aerial I installed a few months back is leaking. I guess the silicone sealant I bought today for the leaky glass...

K Series are great engines but are known to eat head-gaskets. Anything over 50k miles (80k km) and you are on borrowed time but many will fail before that. How many kilometres are on the car now? If the head-gasket was replaced at 60k, what make of gasket was used? Did the head need skimmed...

I'm pretty good at loosing everything so the first thing I did after building my garage was screw this board to the wall and hang my spanners in full view. I still loose them from time to time but usually not for long.

Latest update on the charge control setup. It works! :D I've done lots of testing and so far no major issues so I figured maybe it was time for Mk2 https://store.arduino.cc/products/uno-r4-wifi When I was connecting all the wires to the Arduino Uno I soldered them to header pins that can be...

Only if it breaks and causes an accident where someone is seriously injured or killed. Many years ago I remember having tow bars fitted at some guys house. He had a cottage industry making and fitting tow bars at the weekend and I can't imagine type approval was an option.

I've never changed an exhaust in any Freelander and they were all as old as yours. They must have been well made.

Cheap aftermarket master cylinder can cause the bite point to be on the floor making it hard to push in far enough. I had this problem and sorted it by extending the rod that the pedal pushes by a few mm but it was a pain. In my case I replaced the clutch then when bleeding the master cylinder...

LOL, you on the sauce at 3:47 this morning? 🤣

Yes mate, I only noticed it after replacing the module and was looking for a cracked track. As I said I can't complain too much as I chose to go with cheap Chinese components knowing the chances of failure were there.

In fairness most of the issues in this entire process were caused by me not knowing what I needed the software to do and it took a while to figure out the hardware requirements too. I still haven't tested it at a public charger so I guess that is next.

I don't know what you do for a living but if I was writing computer programs I'd be concerned. Or anything that can be done sitting in front of a computer for that matter. It was only a few months ago I tried to get ChatGPT to write something much more simple and it sucked so bad I ended up...

You'll not be surprised to learn of another issue that only came up while testing with the battery nearly full. I set it to charge remotely while I was able to watch it and was pleased to see it working as described right up until the charge completed. Immediately the relays turned off they...

Oh Oh! I spoke too soon 😲 I've been doing lots of testing to confirm all is working correctly and discovered two separate issues so am working through them now. The first was when I tried to adjust the cut off voltage where the car stops charging. Up until now I haven't let it get to full...

Just a wee update on driving and charging. The car has been driving great since the 12V relay module was replaced. :D I've only driven around miles 60 since but it's been flawless. TBH I had always questioned the wisdom of using ultra cheap Chinese 12V relay modules in such a critical location...

Yesterday I had the wheels aligned. The nearside rear was a pig as the suspension is all original on that side but the guy used Oxy to heat the nuts and they moved easily. All the rest had been loosened before so were not too bad but the job still took almost two hours. Drives nice and straight...
