LOL, does this picture help?
Landy 1.jpg
 
Does anyone have an idea of what colour this is? (1999 Defender '90).

I originally thought it was Bonatti Grey (Land Rover colour code LRC.659) - the same as the Tomb Raider (which is also what the local mechanic thought).

I've then seen some photos of trucks in Niagara Grey - which is causing me to doubt whether it's Bonatti.

Any value in creating a couple of stickys to help answer recurring questions?

1) Part Numbers

I have found Retroanaconda to be really useful in finding the parts I need, allowing me to search Google by part number rather than name.

Links are:

90s
Index of /landrover/parts_books/90

110s
Index of /landrover/parts_books/110


2) Paint Colours

Stephen Hull's site has helped many, with colour codes, years and colour charts:

Sure loads will still ask rather than Google for themselves, but you never know...
My son and I are currently reassembling a 1983 Land rover 110 County and are just after part number manuals, can someone tell me if the Retroanaconda parts books that are for 1987 and onwards are still applicable for the earlier 1983 110's or is there another book somewhere that we should be using, thanks

The best place for part numbers and component/assembly diagrams is LR Workshop. It's also highly useful for component pricing reference. https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams

Thanks... appreciate the reply. Even there it seems so many diagrams start at 1987- I'm guessing most part are still common to the 1983 and on. Looking forward to reassembly now that we have chassis back from being blasted and painted, you guys over there are so lucky to have access to so many parts! thanks again

Hello fellow members,
i have a simple question which may have a simple answer but Google has not been my friend. What color primer was used @Solihull?
Had it varied over the years and are different parts getting different primers?

I have a '91 d90 and certain parts of the tub or under the headliner have paint worn down with a sort of drab green color underneath. I'm trying to figure out if this was the primer or perhaps an earlier paint color.

Hi all,

Not sure what part I need, might be overthinking it. The doors on my landy have never really fit correctly on aftermarket door seals- so I'm going to try OEM. trouble is- I have changed the doors from the old split doors to the more modern one piece.

Which one should part should I be looking at, before I make another mistake!

Drab green is usually Army
