    Breaker yards/spares in Edinburgh?

    Am looking more for rows of wrecked landies in yard or something like that which I can pick off rather than a big scrap yard because I need to be able to bring it back in luggage! Thank you for the help :)

    Breaker yards/spares in Edinburgh?

    Am from Cape Town, SA and am in Edinburgh/Kelso for a 5 days and was wondering if there are any spares/breaker yards I could visit? Don't know the area at all and google didn't seem to know either. Such a limited supply in as compared to UK so want to make most of the opportunity! Thanks

    90 build up, creating a soft top!

    One of the issues with the hood is that it is designed to fit and SVX, which has aluminium profiles on the side to hook into. this keeps the horizontal tension and stops all that irritating flapping. we took it upon ourselves to create our own profiles, so we bought a few metres of 3mm aluminium...

    90 build up, creating a soft top!

    So the Svx hood we got has a little snag in it. it has no front part....the rear, with roof, windows and tailgate flap are all there but the front has been cut off. this is a bit of a mixed blessing. We had to go to a trimmmer to get the mohair material and for him to make something that will...

    my dad became besties with a guy he met who was driving around in an SVX while he was on his bike. My dad asked him a bit about his car and it just happens that he has a spare SVX roll cage plus and spare SVX tailgate all just lying around in his house (what are the chances, considering there...

    Now that we'd stripped the interior, we set about unscrewing everything holding the roof in place. This was actually relatively easy. We took off the top and the sides off together instead of doing it individually. We tried lifting it off after unfastening everything and it all came free except...

    90 build up, creating a soft top!

    Before we started taking the roof off we had to take out the roof lights and interior. The lights were easy, all you needed is a set of screwdrivers. the panels were all relatively easily as well with most popping off nicely. for the trickier areas which wouldnt pop off, we just wedged and...

    90 build up, creating a soft top!

    Before we started tackling the roof, we knew we were going to be taking the seats out anyway so we figured it would be more practical to take them out to give ourselves more area to work with. Removing the lower half was tricky with many of the bolts stuck because of the rust. It would be...

    90 build up, creating a soft top!

    So stage 1 for us was to remove the rear door. i've never worked on cars properly before but its great how simple the design of the defender is. we were able to take the door off with relative ease but it is one job for a pair of ametuers. Disconnecting the wiring leading into the door was...
