Yeah it seems. Panel beaters I've used here for other bits tend to charge a LOT. This combined with lack of time and the fact I wanted to get it on over the holidays...I think I will buy another Ive been offered that I know is mint for sure and think I will sell this one off cheaply to somebody...

Ooooh that sounds like it more involved than I wanted! Any idea how it would have stretched when its not dented?

Yeah was wondering if touch of heat would help or am I talking nonsense? Thing is...its not dented as such - just a bit popped/sagging inwards and when you pop it back out bit beside it pops/sags inwards. Yeah Mick - thats an idea but would like to see if its possible to shrink first - so many...

Chaps heres one for you guys that know a bit about metal... Defender pick up roof in great nick but a bit has 'popped inwards'. When I try to pop it back out a bit beside it pops inwards and vice versa. Anybody had this issue with their roof and if so is there a way to fix it? Does this...

Thank you for taking the time to advise on that. Its a great help and much appreciated. Surely Britpart cant get gaskets wrong can they??? If they are that bad then how on earth do they still remain as a household name in Landrover parts? Every Land Rover supplier I have spotted online or...

Sorry mate, I didnt spot this reply. Its a 110 tub Im looking for - good straight one with good straight floor.

I assume the kits come with all the gaskets needed? Or is this a no? Is it handy enough job? I've previously stripped down to the ball to replace cv but not the housing.

Right - time has come to replace the swivel housings and bits at the front. The swivel rebuild kits I see online all contain 1 swivel pin. But am I right in saying each side has an upper and lower pin. Is there a reason only 1 is supplied with the kits? Just wondering before I start as...

Nice ad. Almost tempted to buy that toilet seat kit;)

200tdi - thats what I have and if I even began thinking one of the others was better then I would end up spending more money I don't have!!! So I'm sticking with 200tdi. Oh and I like the fact its running sweet on 80% straight veg oil and starting perfect in this cold weather!!! Frequent oil...

Door tops arrived - Yes they are very very slick. I actually think there is something 'modern' about them. Can't place my finger on it but its a positive. Nice green tinted glass and anodised frame. I wont be painting these...too cool looking as they are. If I'm honest I still think they...

YES!!! Nail on the head sir!!! Good job considering I barely understood my own explanation. The tyres dont actually catch on the metal - they were catching on the old arches. I just was looking at them after fitting and wondering if all that metal arches underneath should be cut away or...

Dont get me wrong they look the part...but when you look underneath them, your staring at all the metal wing arch and also the screws. If thats the way its done then so be it, but if not - please tell me. Instructions say little at all about anything.

Guys these Terrafirma style extended arches... Whe placed on wing there looks to be an awful lot of metal underneath...instructions just say line em up and screw em on...but is this really the way you stick them on? Or is all that metal underneath usually cut out to shape?

Ha!!!My Landy looks like a barn find compared to yours...although to be fair its an everyday working vehicle! Yeah they look good - ordered the bottoms and other bits from splandrovers myself. Well priced and only a tenner postage to N Ireland.

Defo will do. Ordered yesterday...due tomorrow. Have ordered lower doors etc from splandrovers. Once all here will take some photos.

Thats that then...seems everyone is happy with them - buying tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the photos they look a bit more chunky and modern than the standard series ones which I quite like for my Defender - going to order them up tonight then for sure! Just cant get my head around the cost!!! Going to eat up a large slice of my budget!!!

Are they actually stiffer hence close properly as per advertised? That interests me.

Hi mate - I will get the replacements on first then if your seriously interested I will email you a few photos - they need repaired. I just haven't got time to mess about with them- its my work vehicle as well as my everyday vehicle.
