Yeah perhaps a nice shade of ss grey would make them happier

Tried to get my Defender registered Austrian last week. All was fine exept the suspention lift, the snorkle, the front bumper, the light bar, the a-bar and spots, the head lights, the tyres, the wheels, the steering modificatons and oh, not forgeting the rear seats. they said it was a nice...

oh, so its possible to fit a roof tent to a roll cage then? that would save a few bob

Whilst I got a thread going, I might as well change the line of question. is it better to fit a roof rack directly to a roll cage; or to the roof as normal?

ahh well I'll scrub those off the shopping list then.

going to drive down to morocco next year and I wondered if the portals would add a little somethinsomethin to my defender

well I guess that sews that one up then.thanks for the sound advice Perhaps just some bigger wheels then

tried serching through the forum for threads on portal axles but no joy. question is; are they worth bothering with? do they effect motorway driving? and are they easy to fit?. hmmm should have said "questions are"

Ok we a day of sealing again then. Bloody Land Rovers! why oh why did I get into these? Thanks for the help as usual. Beer on its way

I will have to strip out the dash again then and run some sealand on the inside as well as redoing the out side. theres no way I can lift the roof off

Sticky side down I think; at least thats how mine was when I scraped it out and refilled it with silicone

I even sealed the vent flaps shut as water was ****ing in through there!

I will have to do it again

I resealed it with silicone about 6 months ago. i picked all the foam seal out and filled it with silicone

it pours rather than drips

its coming in throu the gap of the windscreen frame and bulkhead

could it be coming in via the washer jet hole?

its enough to drive you mad but the worst thing is it flows down through all the wiring and through my speakers

Its coming in through that gap above the vent grill where you see the lip of metal. but its not the seal as thats been siliconed
