Replaced tailgate release handle decided not to just crimp the wires from the handle. Also put some sealer in to hopefully prevent a repeat. One release bolt had to be drilled out.

No photo, but replaced the rear pads & discs successfully.
Took longer than expected but hopefully future swaps will be quicker now I've done it once.
EPB not to be scared of, all straight forwards, now just to bed the EPB in.

Fitted remote kit for FBH and enabled with IID BT tool.
Replaced the propshaft on Friday with one of the GKN ones from Advanced Factors. Despite my driveway being an utter nightmare for using axle stands, I managed to get it done, but it did take longer than the 90mins I was hoping!!!
Not sure if it's just me either, but the GKN felt lighter that the original LR propshaft.Front Runner Rack, OEM Ladder & RAI, Tuff-Trek Foxwing, B'rakhah Ingonyama Expedition Trailer, RLD's Spare Wheel Protector, Bodsy's Bars, Empty Pockets! Member of Gloucestershire & Worcestershire 4x4 Response.

Replaced both rear anti roll bar links as the N/S was a little loose at service with Meyle ones from AF. 18mm offset spanner and an 8mm hex socket. Plenty wire brush thread cleaning plus WD40 saved the angle grinder coming out.

Fixed the cubby fridge thanks to information on the Forum. Replaced the heat plate as the fridge was not cooling.

Five glow plugs replaced by Mikey in Dundee in jig time. So in cold weather no more struggling to start or over fueling resulting in blue/grey smoke on start up.Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.

It was -2 during the night.
Pre-washed, applied dragon’s breath on the wheels and the sides, foamed, washed, applied wax, polished the vehicle by hand.
Washed the floor mats, vacuumed the floors, cleaned all windows from the inside.
Put silicone on the rubbery parts in the doors.
Almost ready for the winter, next wash will be in the spring.

Not today, but this week.
Had cam belt and injector belt changed and oil/filters etc. Only done 51,000 miles but its a 2009 so due in terms of age and not worth being silly about!
Might give it a pre winter deep clean and wax this weekend if I get time.Disco 3: Lotus Elise S1: Ferguson T20: Audi A2
