I’m lucky enough to have seen 4 adders and 3 grass snakes while out and about. On one occasion an adder and a grass snake within 100m. They are really impressive creatures and you really have to be unlucky to get bitten by an adder. I’m glad you’re feeling better and hope that the Freely gets sorted soon. |

I've seen slow worms (saw one on Friday) and adders at work, but they are never far from the hedgerow.

Slowworms are not snakes but, harmless to humans, legless lizards. If you have them in your area then I’m really jealous. The only things they’ll hurt are bad for your garden. |

Quite correct, slow worms are legless lizards. We have lots of them in the banks surrounding the sports field.

An update on the propshaft saga, today was the actual first time i had to remove the prop from the Freelander, after checking about to make sure Hissing Sid's mates were not aroind lol, i got under the vehicle and started the job, firstly removed 6 front torx bolts holding front prop flange to ptu, they came out no problem, then proceed to make my way from front to back and removing both carriers and also the heat shields, then i got to the rear of the prop, and removed the 6 torx bolts. this is where it went pete tong, i cannot for the life of me remove the rear prop flange from the haldex coupling, it seems to be seized in there, any ideas, tried everything at the moment, after 4 hours i gave up, soaked it in penetrating oil and have left it for over night,,,,,any ideas help appreciated --------------------------------------------------------

There is a hole on the Haldex side of the flange, where you can put a punch to tap out the propshaft joint. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

If you gone to all the trouble of removing the prop then I'd change the haldex oil/filters and rear diff oil and probably do the PTU too. Jules |
