Yes mine was a richards but had a britpart label on it. Got it within a week delivered to a local landrover garage (north east scotland).

Right folks, time for an over due update! So its still off the road in bits but since the last time i updated the thread i have completed an introduction into automotive bodywork at college :) As a project i took my roof up to repair and spray in the booth.... Anyway i've a heap of photos to...

I have a soft spot for mini's

Think a pedal box is a good investment. Just bought a x engineering one :)

Oh it's been a while since I've updated this. Here goes, I decided to source another tub to put my new wings and rear panels onto.

Nice one

Was someone breaking a 110 on gumtree Inverurie way

No spare lamps I'm afraid. Maybe the sealed ones are tired... My wheel nuts are the same. Every defender I've seen with steel wheels have been the same

Not that bad then. My foglight switch was temperamental. You can strip them. Think I cleaned the contacts and tweaked the spring in mine to take out the slop

Looking good

So spacers or upgrade axle to 300tdi type it is then. Hmm....... I read someone put 6mm spacers and and longer studs

Good morning folks. I had a look on various forums and apparently freestyle alloys dont fit defender 90 200tdi's or rear drum braked models. I've upgraded to disk axle on the rear but still on the original on the front. Does it clash on the front too as it only mentions the rear? Cheers Russ

Cheers aarron. It was the jawel paints I was looking at. It seamed alright priced compared to buying etch and high build primer

Hey guys, i've got a selection of bare aluminium tub panels, a roof and zinc steel door skins to be sprayed. Am i right to assume epoxy primer can be used on them instead of buying etch and high build primer?? Ive also got some abs plastic wings, could these be epoxy primed or am i better...

Sounds odd that your steering is tight and your throttle is sticking?! Coincidence?

I tried putting my 285 on the bonnet and immediately took it off. The visibility was shocking!

Aye, no more scrapping the windscreen!

How much did your screen set you back if you don't mind me asking?
