    Anyone been able to find a suitable replacement for the roof netting? I’m waiting for the elastic as it did it’s last stretch along time ago but the netting will still be sagging. Cheers, M.

    Well it’s been torrential rain here (N. Yorkshire) all day so I got the gluing of headliner done. Not perfect but not bad for a first attempt. Kitchen implements used as weights for the magazine net shape. Not 100% successful…..

    Atomician, The pic you were asking for. As Alibro said there’s loads of space. 😊

    Consider it done. Will take some pix tomorrow. I managed to get my dash cam cables up and across with not much trouble. 👍🏻

    A result for you there. Unfortunately for me I got sick of the dust all over the dash and steering wheel, it rubbing on my head and starting to block the rear view mirror. If it all goes pear shaped I could easily get used to no headliner thought. For future reference, does anyone know what the...

    I noticed the insulating effect today after I’d got it out and was putting the various fasteners back in their places. It was very hot without it in. I’ve got a few bitumen deadening panels left from my MG project, would you put them on the roof or do you think they or their glue would melt and...

    Thanks Andy. Never thought of that. Glue that was supplied is supposedly good for 110°C. 👍🏻

    Sorry Andy, didn’t mean anything untoward. The some remnant of my home ahem ’gym’ days when I did do that kind of thing. Now used as a weight to stop the ramps moving. The other ramp has a 120A 12V battery as a weight. 👍🏻

    Thanks Dar ran, Might just do it and see how it goes for the September MOT. Just been prepping the rear end for underseal/paint. Note my MK2 fuel cradle support bar with the ventilation intake. Also note the back box air dam innovation.

    Thanks. But doesn’t it come under the same category as deleting the cat. Ok until MOT time when it fails on emissions as my 03 MG TF just has. Although that was the U/S cat not that I’d removed it.

    Did the obligatory service - oil, oil , air, turbo breather, and that other one at the back near the air filter( technical term) with the two seals that some delete. Cleaned the EGR. Went the boot cubby to get the new sump bolt and washer and oh NO! A Fishtank!!! So that takes the ‘to do’ list...

    Hi All, Having read this: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fuel-tank-cradle-an-alternative.361384/ My cradle is suffering from an almost completely rusted through bar. The plates are ok with only what looks like surface rust. I’ve got the bars that Andyfreelandy linked to. Can anyone...

    Replaced El Cheapo front drop links with APs heavy duty jobbies. Completely shut up the thud, thud that was getting worse. However….. front near side tyre is down to 2.6mm. 🤦🏻‍♂️
