Unfortunately haven't been around on here for the past month. But I have kept progress up with the Landy, albeit not as much as I would like. We are very busy at work so I've been cramming in the overtime :cool:. So I've managed to get the roof painted, flatted down and polished and then fit...

£250 a panel :eek: my place charges £150 and I charge £100 In my own time, its a shame you are so far away. +1 for doing the back door black, it should look good against the green. As for an 'eggshell' finish, you could use a satin lacquer over Epsom green, which would give you the metallic...

Thanks for all the replies. Ill pass on the info to him.

That's the video (if it works)

I'll put it to him. I'd like to think he's done this before he's got me to ask on here. It's being used on a day to day basis and the battery isn't showing any signs of giving up

Hi, asking for a bit of advice on behalf of a friend. The motor in question is a disco 1 300tdi. The problem is the rev counter is jumping from 0 to idle whilst the battery light flickers? And if you stand outside of the vehicle you can hear a slight change in the engine noise, like a slight...

Thanks for the replies! Tonight's saw a little more progress. It didn't have one of them switches in when I bought it but I bought a new bulkhead which came with one. But I have no wiring/plug for one so I won't be wiring that in. I can't understand why I don't have a red/white behind the clocks...

I've just found on a wiring diagram online a panel illumination switch? What's this? Because I'm sure I don't have one

My wires from the sender are fine. It's where they plug into the wiring loom which is the issue. I've nearly thrown the multimeter through the window! Reverse light switch works and so does diff lock

I'm in the process of wiring the 90 back together (1987). When I bought it no gauges or lights worked. I've managed to get most of the lights working along with things like interior clock and 12v cigarette lighter. I've just got a few small issues left to sort which I'm stuck with. Firstly the...

People often think it's just painting some panels and forget about the amount of prep work, stripping and fitting and polishing. Would easily see 40+ hours of work plus paint and materials. With myself and 2 others we have managed to change the colour of an insignia in a weekend which worked out...

A respray would involve door shuts and the inside of doors, under the bonnet itself etc etc. You'd be around the 2 grand mark. A wrap would probably be towards a thousand for a good job. The log book has to be changed on a wrap despite what people may say.

1.3 with lacquer was too much with the new guns we got. 1.2 does base, clear and wet on wet perfectly in our two guns. High build has a separate gun with bigger tip. Edit: completely down to personal preference and the product being used. But we've found two good all round guns with GTIs I...

Look for a second hand devilbiss/sata/iwata. Or if your budget can stretch to a new one then even better. You usually get a couple of fluid tip sizes with a newer one. A 1.2 and 1.3 should see you right for any paint/primer/lacquer. A lad at work has had his devilbiss gti for around 15 years or...

Thanks for the positive comments! Will keep it updated as much as possible :cool:

So this week has seen me paint the side panels and my front (larger) radiator surround I've sat the side panels on with new L shape brackets at the rear and they seem to sit very high. So much so that i fit the seal to the inside of the panel with the top of the seal stuck to the...

No worries! Not a bad idea getting them powdercoated. Will make them look brand new again. I've just prepped and painted mine black and the prep work was so tedious o_O But I've saved myself some money I guess. At a guess they may have been replaced or painted before, if it hasn't gone back...

I'm on the hunt for the part of the gearbox tunnel that bolts to the bulkhead in the cab if anyone knows of one. I think £50ish on eBay for one that needs attention is steep.

Thanks for the the replies chaps. Neilly, that's where I have been going wrong then. No wonder I couldn't make head nor tail of the part numbers. Number 21 on that link you've sent me is right, but not sure on the length. I see, I'll see if there's a difference in the hole depth and take it...

I had a feeling this was going to happen, me being thick. I must be looking at the wrong Part of the website or something? This is all I could find for 15,16,17 I'll follow the link you've posted and google them part numbers. Thanks
