Does anyone still eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday (tonight)?
I don't. I can't be bothered to make them and bought ones aren't good. We could go to a pancake house but having eaten out on Saturday I don't want to go out again.

I really don`t give a t*ss these days - flipping crepe = I always feel flat afterward - when you`ve been battered as often as I have you will understand.......................................

Just had a call from garage - Freda does not need a new boot but she does need new back brake pads However that's likely to be less than a new tyre [ I think/ hope ]
Once the pads are on she'll be shampooed and then MOTd and come back to her nice warm house .
Hope HGs day is better down there - here we have a bit of wind and it's definitely chilly and grey
Tyre replacement on a Freelander sounds something of a nightmare. You either have to replace all four or swap them around (not sure what the correct rotation is, it's in the manual) if you only need to replace one tyre, as otherwise the 4wd system tries to lock up on the road and eventually destroys itself. It works by detecting the relative speed of the two propshafts, if one is turning much faster then it will lock 4wd assuming that you're on slippy surfaces. Problem is, replacing the tyres other than as the manual instructs can cause that speed imbalance on tarmac.

Disco is much simpler - it has a centre differential so providing you fit the same size tyres all round it doesn't really matter! Apparently LR tried fitting them to Freelander prototypes but kept getting unwanted shunting from the drivetrain, so the IRD gubbins was fitted instead.

man, I'm glad I only have a 2WD wee Audi
Found its potential brother, too; same colour, similar spec but a TDI and with another 50'km on the clock. €6k for an eight year old car...which means mine's worth around €7k or so, which is pretty stunning for a car which hits ten years old next January.
Let's see if we need it.

If it's a main dealer it'll be fine, they know what to do. Problems come if you visit the likes of ATS who don't necessarily understand Freelanders.

Nice day today.
No camera with me, I forgot to take it, but had a good pub lunch, delivered pizza for tea and several beers.
Tomorrow we're off for a couple of nights in North Yorks.
Some friends are meeting us and the drinking will start around 6pm.

Nice one Stefan.
It's good to know that it's not the idiot on this side of the keyboard that makes all the mistakes on computers.
And yes I did forget, the bag was on the compute chair in the office while I was in the car heading for Skipton!
