update,
Shocked HUGE spider lurking behind the rhs headlight,,,

HUGE spider lurking behind the LHS fog light..

bumper is off, headlights off, wash disconnected,, just hoovering the wildlife away along with half a pine tree and a dead bird,

amazed how much junk is collected behind the wheel arches,, reckon if i wasnt adding the weight of a winch i'd get 1mpg more with the weight loss,, Very Happy

hmm question,,

have been through discoreapers videos ( Thumbs Up ) for getting the bumper et all off,, that's done,

am now back on the LR instructions,,, it's telling me to re route what i imagine to be the airbag sensor located behind the steel bumper,,

on the picture it shows an eye and a book (which i dont have) so when i undo this it goes "pssssssssssssss" alot,,,,

any tips?

Is this the box with the green pipes connected to? Had that myself when I took a winch off - its the air suspension pipes going into a mudule type box - just undo it and it will release the pressure at that end of the system for a few seconds then stops. When I re-connected it up again and ran the engine it all pumped itself up again.
