Many thanks James - will just clean up face and leave coating on rest for protection Hope all good with you - haven’t done much for the Landy lately other than change fuel tank. Just replacing all discs etc and found tear stubs very pitted (not leaking) so thought should swap out whilst at it

Time for a daft question which I can’t find an answer for Am replacing rear stub axles on 1994 Defender 90 The replacements have arrived heavily coated in white grease - presumably to protect in storage Should this be removed with say, brake cleaner before fitting? Many thanks

Many thanks for checking Defo M8 but no way 40mm - about 10mm too long I'll try SH108251L and see how I get on ;-)

Hi - apologies have not been around for a while - long story Anyway, back with Defender in ongoing restoration mode and replacing fuel tank Had to hack off all bolts Fiche says 3 bolts to fix fuel tank support bracket to chassis are SH108401L Far too long at 40mm Suspect need to be high...

Dinitrol 6030 Metalised Body Filler is good stuff imho

It's good to give a bit of time to others - it's what makes you a decent guy Honestly believe what goes around comes around Good on you, and yes, I join those who think you should go for it!

Can't think of a reason not to use PTFE

Love my Fender, but no way I'd drive it 960 miles to Devon and back Horses for courses and all that

Not sure if this is of any help Anyone fitted a Nudge Bar / Protection Bar A-Frame to their Disco II?

Por15 is really a 3 part system including a degreaser, etch and then the black paint I can vouch the black paint takes days to come off your face!

Synthetic dries in an hour or so (slow drying time allows brush marks to merge) but can take weeks to fully harden

looks oddly chamfered was it oem or..... Sorry - just re-read your post saying OEM quality I'd return if time is on your side - you don't want to fit twice Paddocks are pretty good - why not phone them and arrange to email the piccy for their comment?
