I'll need to get the camera or phone and be back in a while

Hello Nathan and welcome to the land of Loonyzone and, good luck with your question and answer session

Welcome to the land of Loonyzone Gareth. I'm a little concerned that your father painted his 88" in camp colours:eek: that's more of a Freelander colour:rolleyes: Good to have you on board:D

Thanks to you all for your response to my questions. Did the job and the paint reacted with either the primer or, the original gellcoat:mad: what a feckin mess. :eek: The finish is okay in some places and like a miniature map of the Hymalian mountains :eek: May be I'll just take it to a...

Can someone explain to me, what the air, which is taken into the engine from the air inlet in the drivers side wing vent or, the snorkel, does? I believe that it is used in the fuel system, and not for cooling. Am I correct? And secondly, does the air that comes through this part of the system...

Nothing. Out with my youngest with Zara Tindle

Okay. If you say so, that's the way it's going to be :D. Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated:p

Thank you Mr Magicgrotto. When I use the panel wipe (which I think is a special cloth that will not leave any bits of fluff ?) can I use it with a chemical cleaner? The bonnet is LR Jarva Black and has become very dusty from the over spray. I purposely did not mask of the area to ensure that I...

Thank you Mr Mad Hat Man

This is my ongoing saga. I have had to repaint the front third of my Defender bonnet where the paint was damaged by heat. I have removed and rubbed down with very fine wet paper, under coated the area and left to dry. Before I paint the colour over the under coat, should I use the wet paper...

Removed the new bonnet, for the God knows how many times, sprayed the front third with primer. Had a cold cup of tea.

Thank you for that information BB. I would think that a meeting with the Ombudsman would prove very interesting. This sort of fraudulent behaviour needs to be stopped. I know, when we were all younger, it felt great when you could have a chat with the tester and hope for an easy ride. But, as...

I have no idea who, or what vosa is, but assume that it's some form of legal organisation. If that is what James is advocating, then I think the he is absolutely correct. Providing an MOT on a vehicle which is, beyond any doubt, a potential death trap, should be a criminal offence and rightly...

Welcome to the land of Loonyzone ~ you are clearly the right type of young nutter that the zone thrives on :D It's difficult to disagree with anything the members have said in their responses, but it's your live, your dream, so live it here in the Zone:p. The only strict rule, is that you...

I'm not sure that this link has copied correctly, but have a look. It's one sure way to keep those scumbags at bay! We just need someone like James to modify the system!:cool:

Did you need to use a plastic primer on the light surrounds before spraying with the two pack paint? I don't really understand the new two part/pack paint system.

Sounds very good to me Clifford. Go for it.

That's my own tactic. There are only a few Defenders here in Ireland, and they are not generally appreciated by the Man on the street. Mechanics at my own test centre have an appreciation of the Defender and always gather around to discuss the car. I give it a very good under body clean, fit a...

Taking it out for a long run before the weekend, just to make sure that she is running well after the past few months in the sickbay.

Congratulations Mr Brown.
