Got put into restricted performance this morning travelling in so I'm anticipating some new hoses. Haven't yet looked, lunchtime looking busy

First clean after the tailgate refit. We'll see how long it lasts now. Before that though I went looking around - I'm told the GPS antenna plugs into a box under the seat.. only the video I watched didn't have the obstacle I had which is a pretty firm plastic shield between me and it. So I...

Don't tell me things like that, this is only the first time I've replaced it! So further to this USB video thing, of the five videos I loaded only one is working - a .avi file. It doesn't seem to even register .mp4 or .mkv

You might not be yet, but are you noticing an oil patch forming beneath your car wherever it's parked?

A while back I drew up a matrix of all of the different USB combinations I tried to get a regular stick to be read by the Freelander 2 so I could watch whatever I wanted. Whatever I tried wouldn't work, and today I found out it wasn't any of the flash settings. It's because you can't just drop...

Few bits of fun today. First was changing out the washer fluid cap for the Volvo(?) funnel. Love it already. Then replacing the fuel cap retainer. Nice to not have to find somewhere to put it now. Lastly the whole tailgate housing came off, and I replaced the wiring loom. New switch that...

They look mean

Here we go

Took it to the alignment garage and noticed the GPS is no longer working :confused:

Booked it in for alignment and bought a fresh pair of front driveshafts for it, because it's my car and if everyone else gets to be wrong about what's up with it (including JLR) then I do too

Presumably you can burn the data to Disk or USB, whichever you have available. I went for USB. Like me, you can do it yourself or for slightly more in cost, you can have them send it to you. Here's where I got it...

Picked it back up today. It's been gone a week, along with a salvaged gearbox. They ended up keeping my original 4x4 unit and transferring it to the new box. Replaced the oil in it, along with a clean out, restoration and new oil for the haldex Gotten rid of about 60% of the wobble, but it's...

In the latest of the saga of my car trying to kill itself and possibly me with it, the driver's side washer turret decided it was too good to push fluid to the windscreen this morning. Took some convincing with a needle and a bit of pressure to get the nozzles to open up again. Reattached, job...

Parked(?) it

Happy new year

LR is just a wind up brand isn't it There's no way they actually sell loads of these things

Off to collect it from the gearbox place We originally ventured it might be a driveshaft or the bearing where the driveshaft meets the differential. Having bought another shaft and checked the bearing, it appears to be neither. So my hopes of a cheaper end repair have been dashed. There's...

I thought maybe one of those until I measured voltage at those thin strip contacts that actually connect to the glass. If I'm getting a reading there, then it can't be either of those? Or is there something else going on

The vehicle has both, but the rear one works and works well. All clear across the elements in about 2 minutes. It's the front one that's not kicking in. If I switch it and the rear on at the same time, the rear clears while the front doesn't. The front will turn off long before the rear does...

Put it all back together just now and it's reading correctly, 484 miles to empty. What
