I’ve just bought the car so not sure about the history however It has had a service at a main dealer a thousand miles ago so I would have expected them to pick this up - I think I’ll take it back to them to take a look

Thanks Seadog, I’ll take that as a yes!

Hi guys, I’ve noticed a small leak around one of my 2.2 injector seals...it doesn’t look that fresh but don’t want to leave it if likely to become a bigger issue...would appreciate your views. Thanks R

Ok, thanks AI, you’re a gentleman, that’s been a great help...R

Yep, I’d say double fracture...two cracks in line with top and bottom of the plugs....where the bolts would have been flexing...

It was the bottom of a TV aerial, Patriot roof rack was used for camera work... It has fractured the panel which is annoying but could be liveable with...

OK thanks AI, great - Seal = Foam right!!

Also one other issue... something was bolted to the upper rear quarter panel at the back. The holes have been blanked and the panel is a bit damaged/weak. Are the rear window framing panels available or would that be a, 'weld a plate in job' to sort it out? Appreciate the help guys... Rob

so - Windscreen out. Save the frame if not too bad, replace it if it's ugly. New brackets and bolts. Paint up. Am I missing anything? r

Ok, even better...

ok. seller is going to pay for it so definitely a thorough job - stop the rot... So - windscreen out, want a proper job. The frame is spot welded to the roof though, yes? R

It's been living under a tree and the gutter under the windscreen looks to have been permanently blocked so the gutter has been a reservoir! Everything else seems bang on. r

Thanks Mick, that's helpful, should be fairly straightforward paint job then... R

Hi, its 2013, everything else looks solid...seems restricted to just the frame and windscreen brackets.. I just was't sure whether there was any steel behind the aluminium which could have been causing the issue... Thanks, R

great, thanks doriz

Hi guys, new to the forum...hello! Looking at buying a defender, solid underneath and good interior, some corrosion in all the right places... I'm in need of some advice on corrosion and paintwork on the panel around the windscreen... we have flaking paint and corrosion on the panel...paint...
