Hi, 90. I'm almost sure this is the problem I've got too. This might help. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/bonnet-hinges.286233/

Great thread Peter. Love to see this kind of work being thought out and carried through. Hope your health picks up; my dad is looking to have his 3rd cardioversion done in the New Year.

Great work, Steve.

I bought the 'sports' exhaust with flexi downpipe for around £80 last month. By God it's loud. No need to spend mega-bucks. Linky thing here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141609403407?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Had actually thought about it then went "Nah it'll look dodgy". In saying that it would be a damn site easier than fitting glass. Been there done that.

Owing to some scrote breaking into my Disco 300tdi I'm now looking for offside rear passenger quarter light window. Guessing it will need posting as I'm in North Ayrshire, near Glasgow. Many thanks.

Looks great. Now you've got one that will run for a few years more.

Thanks, Chris. That's more or less what I'm looking at. I'll need someone to weld it but I'll be able to prepare it beforehand.

Sorry about that. Don't post after taking meds.. The bulkhead is the problem not the hinges. It's getting access to it that puzzles me.

Bonnet hinges have been eaten by tin worms. Is it a really big job to rectify? What's easiest/ best way to tackle it?

Congrats on your purchase which will turn into an obsession! Enjoy the madhouse and look into the Range Rover section for lots of support and answers.

Cheers matey :)

At the probable case that I'm wrong, is this the same for D1??

Your actual alloys look minted, never mind the tyres

Well done mate. Great pics & descriptions. Keep it up.

Mine failed on the seat belt anchor points too. I'd started cleaning up a bubble and ended up with much bigger hole than you had. Once started and looking for good metal it's surprising how much I ended up cutting back. Funnily enough my n/s wheel bearing needs tightening too. Is it an easy job?

Looking forward to this. Have you upped the alternator?

Fan belt?

Aldi/Lidl do some good stuff. Baufix it's called; does stone chip and others. £2.99 can.

Only thing that should make that much difference would be wheel/tyre size.
