    you'll get sick of low-3rd gear on Rutland rig. Yeah it's nice & long, but god it gets boring! the only good bit is the rock challenge at the north end.

    The bulkhead I started this morning & hope to have it all done and dusted tomorrow. The Defender I started at the beginning of April & hope to have it all done within the next 2/3 month.

    Defender door seals

    Yep definitely the seal. I even checked to see if the roof was lined up correctly, with it being off a 2008 puma.

    Defender door seals

    Right, I've tried on on another defender & there's still a gap! (not as wide, but still not good enough) It's definitely a bad seal. I forgot to snap a picture before I started a bulkhead change today :doh:

    Defender door seals

    No, the seal fits around the door spot on. The two side are a good seal, it's just the top. The picture is of the door shut too. I don't want to be bending or altering my door as the lines will all be out & It'll look odd & bodged. I thought the door may have been bent in the past, but when i...

    the gap!

    Defender door seals

    I'll try & rub some Vaseline on. its a big gap, i hope it swells up enough. How the hell this hasn't been sorted out by the manufacturer is a joke, they're worse than my old worn seals!!

    Defender door seals

    Iv'e just fitted two new front rubber door seals & now have about an inch gap at the top of the doors!! Iv'e checked my door alignment and it's all perfect as it should be. The gap is so large, no matter what I do or adjustments I make, it'll never be right. I was just wondering if anybody else...
