Found and fixed a rainwater leak.
It should have been obvious to me, but it wasn’t, that the driver-side A-pillar cover was improperly installed and had been since I acquired the truck in 2012. As a consequence of that problem, and my oversight, rain hitting the windscreen at any speed would migrate through the gap in the cover, up the pillar, into the headliner, and, eventually, into my lap whenever I applied the brakes.
Purchased a new cover, complete with required installation clips, and solved the problem. The installation wasn’t quite as simple as the YouTube videos made it look, but after a couple of hours of work and lots of vocabulary exercise, I got it done.
No more suspicious wet spots on my pants.

Heard a squeak that was going faster as I accelerated and would stop if I let go of the accelerator.
I could not reproduce while idling with the hood open.
I kept driving...
It got worse and worse over the past 2 weeks.
I got curious.
I crawled under the car. Happy I did....
Today I pulled the front drive shaft out. Will take it to a shop to get reworked. (The local Land Rover mechanic quoted me $800 for a new shaft + labor. LA labor rate that

2. Labor rates here are 150-200
I soak mine all the time. But my keyless entry hasn’t worked in years anyway
