Just finished fixing the door locks and handles on me defender, had bouts of randomly locking me in/out of it. Watching my mum climb out over the bulkhead and though the back door was funny but thought it was time to sort it out :D:eek::D.
All fixed now but I don't see how they are so easy to steal took me an age to get the doors open :doh:
 
Finished off my drawer and cuboard - cooker is now housed in the drawer. Check my gallery for pics.

Fitted the leisure battery - although we discovered some surface rust in the battery box; sorted with 2 coats of hammerite.

Summer is on the way.........

If it's the rear door lock ye're on about mate, then ye need to remove the assembly. Once out, ye'll see a wee pin. Stick yer key in the barrel and remove the pin to take it out.
Here's a couple o' photies tae show what it looks like....

Went out for my first greenlane in the disco :) went on my own with only A/T Tyres, so kept it easy :) was a dream, however an annoying rattle has occurred at 1500rpm. Sounds like exhaust or something underneath... Hmm, guess that's tomorrows job!

The rear door was the only one working it was the fronts giving me grief, just de mudded them and squirted with de block oil then some chain lube lots of wiggling more spray and wiggling and they seem to be fine now.
