Fitted a tube for the condensation in the headlight , thought I would put it near the top , drilled a 6mm hole , fitted a small bit of conduit so the P clip could hold onto the rubber tube

Another 10k km came up, changed oil and oil filter. Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W-30 oil and Mann filter as usual.
Need to replace engine and cabin air filters, too, but seem to have misplaced the boxes somewhere..

Mine were stiff yesterday. Smeared some grease on them with a rag so hoping they'll be ok for a while.

Hi
Must admit , Tried that but think they were too far gone, build up of surface rust making them a nightmare to get out
Got to do the last one but has made a lot of difference , just drove me nuts struggling and was always worried of damaging the headlights trying to get them out

Replaced rear brake discs and pads and also the handbrake shoes
Followed the excellent write ups on here and then also unwound the handbrake module, what a nightmare of a job lying on your back but a great sense of satisfaction when complete.
All back together and onto the bedding in procedure which wasn't as much of a faff as I thought it would be.
Happy to say I've not got a nice fully functioning EPB with no squeaks rubbing grinding..............
For now

New nuts
Having read a few threads on swollen wheel nuts I decided to order a set of the (cheaper) Bearmachs from Advanced Factors and replaced my lockers and the original LR nuts this morning. I am at around 83k miles on an 06 plate Disco 3, and I have to say that the old nuts didn't look too bad to me. Still, I've got plenty of spares now!
