Fog light switch. Illuminated when on, you can see glow from switch but not actually in your sight from behind the wheel, it's quite bright.

Well finally got the Freelander mot'd. Owned it for 4 years and only 2nd mot with the chaotic system at present. HID lights not even mentioned 😁 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Good news indeed - best mod ever and improves road safety when night driving. The pathetic OE hb3 bulbs are a joke and any upgrade risks blowing the bulbs which happened to me meaning driving 15 miles on country roads using just fog lights. Nightmare. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Thinking of fitting a set of these as additional reverse lights, having to occasionally reverse on a single track lane and minor road where passing places are limited. Which circuit in boot fuse box is best to lift an ignition live from to power a relay?

I appreciate your problem Bob.
I fitted these from Ali Express (1PCS 1156 P21W LED Canbus BA15S PY21W BAU15S Bulb 12V 4014 105SMD T20 7440 w21w LED For Reverse Turn Signal Light No Hyperflash)
They make huge difference, especially with the tinted windows.
A lot cheaper and easier to fit.

I can’t take credit for finding them. That’s down to Grue , I think it was.

My car has never been so filthy. Had a different place of work to commute to these last few weeks, a lovely scenic drive around forestry access roads, completely clarried in muck. Looking forward to getting the pressure washer out.

Man, trying to get that 'muck' out from behind the wheel well liners is a total PIA.
However, yours is really not that bad in the larger spectrum.

Well today I swapped back to my summer wheels and took the General Grabber AT3s on the 17"s off for the last time.
These have done 48000 miles and been on the car since October 2018 (apart from 6 months last summer). Still around 3mm tread on them.
Really pleased with them but I have always found Grabbers to be excellent in all their permutations of tread pattern.
I 'think' I will go for a set of Snow Grabbers next time for my winters, if I don't end up putting a set of all season tyres on my 18"s. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Gave it a wash and several coats of wax. Not looking too bad for an 8 year old.
