God no - that looks like some dodgy eastern european/chinese made mash up of a hummer with a warrior back end! Just to finish it off someones stuck a horrible 60's morris front end and then thrown a Land Rover badge at it!!!

Its a landy so doubt anythings changed since the defender 'proper' started. I went the other way and binned my middle seat for a cubby and that was a bugger to fit too - think the old seats spreading out as theyve sagged filled in the central space.

They used to sell the moulded rubber before too, last year. When I was having airlock issues I got new hoses from a local indy hoping for decent aftermarket or even oem parts (I'd have paid for the quality) but groaned when I spotted the packaging, tbf theyve lasted 8 months so far but the joins...

Damn thats a nightmare but good luck mate & heres hoping you get it sorted soon!

Bloody hell people drive you mental when your selling cars! 4 people have been after it so far. First one phoned before 8 in the morning asking all kinds of stupid questions & then was so keen he demanded to see it that night, before cancelling 5minutes before he was meant to be there...

I know there was a company called "defen door" or something like that that used to have ads in the back pages of the monthly mags (& I'm sure the guy behind it posted on here too at one point) - They did a molded unit that filled the space behind the light units on defenders for fitting forward...

If your just wanting the standard grey ones mud stuff and a few other parts shops stock replacements for not that much. Damn site easier than trying to get a decent finish with glue and stretched fabric imho!

This car is now sold. Thanks for looking.

Cheers man - thats what I was thinking. Even at that little I'd prob take it myself and keep it as spares for the engine & boxes in case mine ever gives up. Just did my cylinder head last year though and mine doesnt look like giving up anytime soon (touch wood)

No idea mate - I did offer at the time, altho weldings really not something I'm too confident with, I couldve easily sorted the rest and got the gf's dad to weld it up for the price of a crate of beer and a winning smile. I'm not really sure what was the deciding factor for her. I think she...

Yeah I thought that was a bit high, hence I posted my question in the first place. As she put it she "left room for negotiation" tho so I'm sure she'd take offers. & Shes already had a few folks interested too with a guy up the road from her looking at it tonight as she was out turning it over...

Heres the bumpf from her Gumtree ad too "Light metallic green Landrover Discovery 2.5L 300 TDI. 1996 (P Reg), 5 doors, manual, 98945 miles. Bodywork is in good condition for age, some light scrapes to front wings and wheel arches have some rust aswell. Interior is clean and free from any...

Lol - the leak was why when I got round to recovering my seats I put vinyl back in coz the county spec fabric was horrible and soggy

Hopefully its something simple like mine was - drives you mental finding it but the relief when its not something catastrophic is great!!! Fixed mine with some pre-drilled flexible metal that we had left over from screwing our boiler flu onto the beams in the roof :D

I'm having issues posting them myself but I was able to get them uploaded into a Gallery on my profile if anyone wants a look

I'll see what I can upload but like I said I'm trying not to be a spammer! Its on gumtree at the moment altho she was having probs uploading pics but at least youd get the full details.

Tbh it sounds like it but if not you might want to check the air cleaner fixings too. I was getting driven mental by a random rattle that seemed to come from drivers side and only when moving. Turned out some of the fixings had rusted away underneath giving it just enough play to rattle at any...

Cool cheers again, always thought it looked like it could come out but never tried to force it just in case! Good to know how to get it out and sorted too :D

Mines a twisty knob.... ;)

Hmmm - good tip Tim, might give that a go myself! I'd thought about tiger seal but didnt want to make anything worse by fiddling with it. Obviously with the lovely weather were having theres no rush but maybe before those spring showers....
