i changed the oil in the rear diff, and their was a lot of filings on the nut and the oil was thick and
sludgy,probably hasn`t been changed for years.

Bought new seals, sunroof drain connectors, and some sealant, so I can remove the front sunroof, and finally fix the leaking.... Might as well recover the rooflining whilst Im at it....
Any recommendations for some 4 way strech fabric. I know all fabrics are not equal

Some say, that Martrim is good.
Their service etc sure is, but the fabric.. mm.. Not a good enough 4 way stretch for the "map pockets" section on the headliner. It won't stretch enough to attach to the corners as theres a lot going on around there.

This is what us saffa's do to fix the roof lining once and forever

The black contrast's very nicely with the beige roof fittings

That's
Are those drip trays more durable than the originals do you know? When I did mine luckily the drip trays were fine (mine leaked between the roof & sunroof on which I used Sikaflex & touch wood it's been fine for the last three years) I ran a bead of Sikaflex round the inside of the drip trays & once the drain tubes were pushed on put some on where the serrated plastic tube meets the drip tray.
Been to Newbury LR spares today & managed to pick this little lot up for £40 !
ATC, 'wood effect' unit to match the outer dash air vents I got from Billing & the genuine new old stock p/s pump £22, as mines leaking, again
& all the assorted nuts/bolts/washers(some are packs of 5/10/20. So worth the 200 mile round trip, just, in a TD5 auto

Well, there was a choice of two options..... Printed connectors, or injection moulded ones.... Went for the injection moulded ones from Emberton... I'll let you know how durable they are....

Im tempted by the black...... Would contrast the dull beige trim......
I also painted all the interior trims to black, and I'm trying to hunt down some BMW grab handles in black, but they are no longer made, so....
I actually bought 15 meters of the fabric to have enough for several cars (I have 4 discos now) or for other peoples discos as that wide enough is hard to find around here.
EDIT:
Haven't installed it yet, I need to source ALL the clips holding the headliner and trunk interior pieces as the previous owner who took it all out, didn't keep them or something....
So after picking up my 'wood' effect ATC unit & swapping the temp. switch bulbs with the ones off my old unit last night I noticed today that two lugs on one side were broken. So I pilot drilled holes, cut 3/4 of the way through the screws (no 6x3/4) then when they were at the correct depth I held the threaded bit with thin nosed pliers & twisted the heads off I then robbed two top hat rubbers of my old unit stuffed a tiny bit of blue tac in them & job done.

Usually it's either the seal around the rim or the valve, both should cost a few quid to fix and it's good for years.
