Made me chuckle, especially as I will be changing oil and filter today and will have to resort to my specially purchased flex head ratchet spanner! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I don't know how you could change the filter without the 27mm flex head ratchet.

Popped over to take a pic of Aysgarth Falls onFriday.
Went via Kettlewell and Gammersgill to see if it was still snowy.
Very pretty.

wrong post

Driven it to evesham and back test driving after doing some work on it

Treated it to a nice new set of Bridgestone Weather Control A005's
It's amazing how quiet the new tyres are after changing from the part worn Nokian weather proof's
once they're scrubbed in I'll put some dynamics into my driving and see how they do,
one thing I'll be keeping a close eye out for any cracking or splits this summer.

I went to church in the tonking rain and discovered that water gets in through the tailgate seal near the high level brake light. I had a dash cam professionally fitted and the rear cam is in that location so when it stops raining i will have a look to see if the rear cam wiring is the cause.

Jim, you didn't need to go to church to learn that ............. the problem has been discussed on this forum.

A little sojourn down to Stow-on-the-Wold for some lunch.....saw a fair few Freelanders both on the way down and back up the Fosse Way again....not to mention parking next to a rather nice 64 plate Metropolis in Orkney Grey in the town centre.

Home just in time for some Six Nations action

Took mine to Duckworth for a simple A service yesterday. Chose to wait for it and get hyper on their coffee. Error! Waited over 2 hours before it was ready. Once started I noticed the PDC did not ‘beep’ when reversing out. They took it back in the workshop to read the codes. “Front parking sensor failed, we have to remove the bumper, do you want to take it, or have a loaner” I guess the wash was a tad vigorous! I chose the loaner. - a new D5 with less than 500 miles on it! Ell, someone has to do it! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Hi
I have just removed my roof bars as there not needed and now it looks better.

Two new front tyres, pads and discs

Over the Severn Bridge (now free) to Abergavenny, for the Tuesday Market. Fantastic real market town with a great high street.

Then on to Brecon, and then down my favourite road the A470 towards Cardiff. This road passes up through the Brecon Beacons and winds its way down past spectacular views to the M4.

A great trip for a day out. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

I washed mine again so I could see my Freel2 sticker

Mine had a good clean inside and out after having a guide dog in the boot.
