I have bought another Land Rover Discovery for Mrs.Loo-knee which I had to change all the door locking mechanism springs. The rear doors are easy but the fronts are such a pain in the rear, the window frame has to be lifted almost out to enable you  to remove the mechanism. It then takes 3 minutes to replace the spring then its refit time  :D

Had to order a track rod end so thats for tomorrow :y

Took the car to a garage for its pre MOT check and found out that I need to replace the brake hoses with braided as the brackets on the coil overs are to sharp for rubber  >:( >:( :-X

Sewed up the loose threads on my steering wheel, which have been annoying me since I got the car.

Not the world's neatest job, as I seem to have mixed about 3 different stitches, but at least I don't have the bare leather edges rubbing against my thumb any longer.

Dismantled  drivers side HID headlight, rebuilt it with an alloy adjuster.All hunky dory now.
It seems a shame to hide those alloy adjusters away inside a light unit.They are like little works of art. :)
