No snow here. I visited a local car trimmer for them to have a look at the Series 3 dashboard top and it's an injection moulding, not a cover. Then for a chilly but sunny dog walk.
Amazing how dirty clean windows are when driving into a low sun.
No need for any deicing. My drive faces south and I always reverse in. Nature's deicer did the job for me.

Went to use my car this morning for a Doctor's appointment and the snow on it had melted slightly & frozen the doors shut overnight . Fortunately the Discovery 3 was OK and started and de-iced itself after about 10 mins running . Minor roads treacherous in places, proper skid pan stuff.  Most drivers  were sensible, but having a  huge 4WD tractor coming towards you half sideways was a bit unnerving  . Derek

Saw a few flakes down here in Surry / West Sussex yesterday but nothing to speak off really.

As much as I hate the cold, get numb fingers and toes in anything less than 10°c and everything gets really painful to move, we could do with a cold winter to kill of some of the unwanted creatures and bugs around the place.

Snowed yesterday, pitched for a while, soon gone here in the south west.

Unusual to see snow here, one year we didn't see any, but on a visit to Manchester some some there!

Quote from: Exile on Yesterday at 10:46 AMStrangely, when they "restore" other cars, they often get owners and experts from the relevant car Club to come and have a look at their work.

For some reason they didn't seem to want to do that, with the Land Rover.

Can't imagine why not.
I feel a lot of people are willing to overestimate their expertise on old land rovers so would be less likely to go looking for further opinion.

It's snowing here in Norwich.

Wet sleety snow, so probably won't be sticking on the ground, too warm.

What I do when replacing hydraulics where high quality parts are unavailable, is buy the Britpart aftermarket master and slave cylinders and replace all of the seals with TRW branded repair kits. Then,  at least the important components are reliable.
The kits are be found online.

My Stage One came with new polybushes. I "just" had to take the old ones out and put the new ones in. I remember making something like the Bushwaka tool out of an old scissor jack. I found the idea somewhere on the internet. Something like this on LRUK. (I sold the Stage One as a project before trying it out...)
