The next thing on my never ending list of things to mend on the defender is the door hinges. Both the pins in the lower hinges have broken and the bolts have rusted and rounded. So I'm going to replace all four hinges complete with bolts and nuts.

Apart from buying from the dealer can anyone recommend somewhere to get a kit from for the td5?

What ever you do, don't buy britpart versions. They are so badly made that genuine bolts don't fit into the countersunk holes and the play in them is appalling.

Sadly I had already sprayed mine so couldn't send them back

After a few phone calls today I'm not closer to getting any new hinges. Spoke to someone at land rover, 27+vat for each hinges and 33+vat for the bolts. Ouch. He then said I'd be better buying bearmach ones as they're better quality. Phoned bearmach and they haven't got any and they've been on back order for over 6 months. Phoned every parts supplier I could and they only have brit part or genuine. So looks like it's going to be a set of genuine ones.
