Keep the faith, half of the tyre is still inflated 🤪👍

Thank you, I'll have a good look 👍

Yes, but the bit I need is not on that page and I don't know the actual part number of the bit I need 🤯 It's this bit

Good point. Id forgotten about that 🙄 Steel it is.

Morning campers 😀 Looks like Noel's lower dashboard is pretty much rotted out (no surprise there) First I thought about fiberglass repair, as I am au fait with the materials. My next thought, as a non welder, I was thinking about getting some .5mm mild steel sheet, cutting and making the...

I'm sure it will all be fixable and you will have fun with your land rover. I wouldn't feel stupid. Your landy works and drives. Some of us (the real stupid ones 🙄) buy total rust buckets and then spend £££££ and still don't have them in a drivable condition after 3 years 🤣

I'm hoping to use the old foam, it seems in fairly good condition 😁 Boss lady saw the dash last night and said, don't bother repairing, buy the new one, stop being tight, it's only £600! Still undecided, I'd quite like to have a go at a repair 🤪

Very interesting. Way beyond my talent level. As a non welder, I wonder if rivets would work? I didn't think the lower dashboard was too rusty, not compared to the chassis, bulkhead and door frames.🤣

Hope you are on the mend 👍

Yes, I saw that and was tempted. I do a fair bit of grp roofing, so as I have the materials on hand, I thought, what's the worst that can happen 🤣

I'll take that as "it's beyond salvage" then? Just wondering if I can fabricate something from fiberglass? At least it won't rust!!

Oh dear. It's worse than I remember 😭 I think this might be beyond salvage 😭

Seem to remember it was something like a phosphor - bronze bush that was causing the rattle. Mind you, this was 15 years ago!

Same with mine after replacing the clutch. Seem to remember that I did it on the cheap and didn't replace a bearing. But you say that you have done the bearing?

Must be engine related as they do not appear rusty. I knew all that leaking oil was for a purpose 🤣
