Too cold today, so just a quick wash and dry.... heated seats are amazing ☺️

I spy another FL2 in the background, far too common !!

your HST does look very very nice in clean shiny black though

Hahahaha RogB you are correct. That’s my Dad’s.... I moved it off the drive as the hosepipe won’t stretch that far. I was looking at the Evoque wheels he’s put on 🤔

Thank you, I do prefer a darker shade on cars although they are a nightmare to keep clean.... it’s a lot quicker than cleaning an old black Q7.... I’ve seen smaller conservatory’s 😂

Thinking of wheels, what would be a fair price to ask for 4x original wheels in clean condition, two tyres are okay and two on the limits, he was on about selling them as they are taking up room in his garage or have I found the perfect winter wheel for mine, obviously with new winter tyres 🤔

are they 16'' ? thought the smallest fitted to the FL2 were 17'' but I could be wrong.

if they fit your FL2 then you have a winter set if you storage room,

if not post them in the for sale section on here, hard to say what people pay but maybe £150 -£200

16” wheels were definitely available on the FL2 . They are also the best size for off-road or winter IMHO . Tyres are cheaper , and you get a nice big sidewall . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Definitely 16” with 215/75/R16 tyres on them. He wanted something to update the look on his and opted for an Evoque set of wheels. They were advertised at £200 but no interest, I’ll mention it’s Christmas soon and I’m looking at some winter wheels 😉

Thanks MartynB and RogB for your advice 👍

What a pleasure.... offered to take the wife to work as it’s her Christmas party later, sat in the car this morning with the heated seat on its lowest setting as the quick clear button worked its magic. Felt a bit smug watching the neighbour abuse her matalan card scraping away at the windows.

Another added bonus.... clearing dog muck up when it’s frosty is so much easier 👍

Added a big dose of concentrated screen wash to the container. I had filled it with the recommended concentration for down to -10C and although the temperature was only -2C the screenwash froze when it hit the screen.

Went to the shops.

The weather was cold and miserable.

Coming home, I was cold and miserable.

Opened my FL2, started the engine, switched on the heated steering wheel.

Time for a Bovril as snow in Brecon heading this way  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Drove through storm Deirdre and was glad to have for wheel drive and all weather tyres - just in case.
Always appreciate Landie in the winter, it will get you there.

Was raining all day so got the soldering iron out and replaced the near 10 year old rechargeable batteries, hey presto like new.

Took out the dog cage then drove up the fields to the woods. Managed to fill the boot with logs. Good job I bought the wife a new chain for her chainsaw for Christmas.  11 GS Bali Blue

I let my wife drive today so I could sample a Christmas Eve pint or two..... I didn’t criticise the parking as it’s a long walk from Chester 😂
