Winter tires on. It’s that time of the year. Plenty of surface and a lot of studs left, too.
No washing until it’s well above freezing.

Added a 4x4 overlander (leeds on this forum) dual height boot basket to the D3.
Seems well thought out and constructed. The basket doesn’t move after install. Good packaging. Extremely fast delivery to here in the periphery.

Replaced the 2nd row center seat strap’s screw with a new one. Noticed on Tuesday that the screw was missing and the plastic part was dangling.

Rotated the tyres. And that was no mean feat! Discovered to my annoyance that the axle stands I got for her don't extend high enough to remove 255/60 tyres... So god knows what it's going to be like when I finish up replacing them with 265/60's.
In order to get here, I've had a nightmare removing the rusted up nuts from both front and rear, but that's now all done.
Finally, went under and looked at my EPB. It's knackered and the bolts holding the module in place are rusted up - so it looks like I'll need to force them off to get the module out and see if I can fix it. That's going to be a fun weekend.
