No it was Dingocroft. Maybe it is different for the V8? More likely they were sh!tpart specials.

Sorry, just saw the DMF question. LUK, one. With the discount code it came to about £550 from Eurocarparts. You need the part number as strangely it doesn't like it when you search using make and model.

Spent the day extending the rear bumper on my classic, for some reason a PO had chopped the bumper off in line with the tailgate,or is it meant to be like that. Anyway not wanting to spend good money on bad plastic add on end caps thought I'd just extend it so it would protect the rear quarters, just about inside the bodyline. The extentions took each side out an extra 7inch.
As luck would have it I had a 1/4 sheet of 3mm kicking about so used that, biggest problem was bending the steel to the right shape without a bender, managed eventually with my 6inch vice and a couple of big adjustable spanners. Already did the front last week, quite pleased with results, just trust I can get a similar finish on the rear.

Cracked indicator lens, suspension and track rod end bushes, fuel seal of some sort split, rear subframe needs welding, headlight washer jet not working I think we're the failures.
Advisory rust around tow bar mount, nearside subframe bushes worn, parking brake at limit of being useful, front brake pads close to minimum level, another area corroded but not excessive on subframe , slight corrosion on front brake line even though these were allegedly replaced 6months ago and something else I think.
So a pretty epic fail lol! I knew it needed work as I picked it up fairly cheap but bought it unseen off the full fat forum and the seller was a little economical with the truth. Anyway garage giving me an estimate for the failure work then I'll decide whether to scrap it or shell out and fix. It's an 02 V8 so worth feck all anyway
L322?
Yup V8 with LPG
Rotten subframe? Cripes. Back to original principles.
I was suprised that it needs welding. I knew it needed other work - should have stuck with my Defender lol

I thought he had a Mini
Sounds like Saint switched back just in time.
I thought he had a Mini
It is. A mini disaster.
So initial thoughts were not expensive to repair....but they've investigated the subframe mounting points further and ....
Sorry Sir we estimate £2500+VAT.
Erm no thanks - soon to be on eBay as spares! Land Rover?? Think I'll opt for another brand that has chassis that can last 16+ years and more than 134k miles! I'm amazed that a car costing £60k+ is scrap in under 20 years. Unless of course the previous owners parked it in the sea every night?

Don't know if the later ones are the same but there's this one on the bay

It's where the subframe mounts onto the chassis not the actual subframe itself apparently
