I'm just replacing my own front bumper and, although there is some flaking rust, I don't think that I need to do anything about it. I cleaner all the loose rust, have painted it with a rust treatment and left it as it is. You might just need to get a plate welded onto the front after cleaning...

You don't mess around, do you! :eek: And, I agree that the dashboard does let the car down. How do you activate the drivers side air vent? :D

Hi Justin. My 2000 Td5 90 roof lining is fixed with the "fur tree" type pins which go through the lining from the head side into corespondent holes in the roof braces. The rear section fits into a "gutter" which is the junction point between roof and side panels. :D I hope that this might...

Even here in the Republic of Ireland the heater is a big priority. I ordered my own heather matrix this morning for my Td5 Defender. The heater has been working when it feels like it, so I am hoping that a refurbishment will answer all of my cold drives back from horse riding :eek:. When you...

Yeh, but you had one too many when you painted it :eek:

Don't be silly, it's a Defender not a Freelander :D

Enjoy Johnnybgood, it looks good

I'm yellow all over, apart from the black wheel arches. I have a new (second hand) rear door which is LR Jarva Black. I consider painting it yellow to match the rest of the car, but liked the contrast. So, today I am due to fit a Jarva black Puma style bonnet and, once that's done, one of my...

Good advice from the members. I have an ex ESB defender 90 which was originally supplied in white. It was then painted by the ESB in their standard Yellow. At some point in time it had a good bit of damage to the body and was subsequently repaired and patch sprayed. When I got it the driver door...

Fuel system? Just a pet hate with my Td5 which has just come back from the local mechanic. If you can, take it to someone with the appropriate diagnostic equipment whilst it's still driving and get them to check it out. It could well save you a fortune :D. Good luck and please keep us fellow Td5...

Good evening Sakara and welcome to Landyzone. I think the seats might need more than a re-trim. The beauty of the LR Defender range is that you can quite happily do the refurbishment "on the go", especially if you have an alternative form of transport to fall back on.:p When something falls...

I had the same problem with mt Td5 and the boost alloy on the rear door. I found some large washers which overcame the problem until I fitted a swing away carrier

Hello Lightening. What was the penalty from the fuel consumption view?

Thank you for the information Mr Guineafowl :p

Very pretty :D. Welcome to the the land of Loonyrovers

That's well worth remembering. Where do you get your Mahle filters from? I'm always looking for a good buy, but often the lower price is directly related to the quality o_O

Congratulations. The chassis looks great and the workshop looks almost perfect. Are you going to paint the new chassis black before you start the rebuild? When the local thieves see your nice new chassis it's going to attract them like bees to honey :eek:. A coating of something black might...

I'm so sorry to learn of your news. This is not the first, and certainly not the last posting to report a stolen Land Rover. I'm certain that members will do whatever they can to help.

Hello John and, as John S has already said, welcome to the land of Looneyzone :p. You will have gathered by now that we all love pictures here on the Zone and any that you may have will be very well received :D. Don't wait to finish the project, just post the pictures so that we can steal all...

Hello and good afternoon Stuart Graham. Welcome to the land of Looneyzone. :cool: We already have a splendid fellow from Canada, you probably know him? :rolleyes: Trust I trust that you will enjoy your life in "The Zone". :D
