Hi all, if anyone is interested the source of the leak was found. It was running from the top of the passenger side windscreen due to missing sealant and the little plastic moulding not fitting correctly. Now just need to deal with a very wet motor blower leaking onto the footwell. Cheers

to be fair, there are some things I will do and increasingly so. Part of the issue is time, but mostly its because I have no idea what I am doing. I did the thermostat not long ago. Took me ages but managed to follow the Haynes and got it done. Replaced the receiver in the roof which was easy...

And no mate I don’t hate you. I don’t know you but was a bit surprised by your initial comment. But as I said maybe iI have misunderstood what you should/shouldn't post on here 👍

thanks for your reply. Already got an agreed value with Adrian Flux which curiously was cheaper than the standard market value provided by esure, which did surprise me! And yes it is a hobby and I bought it with a view to never selling it, so happy to keep bank rolling the project.

its looking that way

some pictures...

Hi Kev, I should have said the 7-8k is the premium Maer chassis + fitting. So thats all in subject to anything else needing doing on top. And I wont be getting a welder based on my soldering skills at school :-) which is why everything on my D2 is so expensive as I have to pay to have it done...

sorry I should clarify that the 7-8k includes labour and the chassis (Maer Premium)

no idea what you mean or if this is a joke

haha I can't disagree. It is only a matter of time before the next problem surfaces. However I have a rather misguided loyalty to it and keep spending to keep it going. Mine gets used off road but absolutely not abused. Thanks for your message

perfect - thanks for your reply. I had no idea if it made it more desirable. It has practically been rebuilt and the new galv chassis is pretty much the final piece of the puzzle. I have seen some crazy numbers associated to pristine examples (which could easily suffer from faults I have had to...

2" terrafirma lift, 51 plate (2001), auto (new box from Bristol Transmissions). Not looking to get my money back. Just interested what they are worth as there are so few that I see around in this condition with all the gotchas sorted. They say D2's are rising so was just hoping to ignite a...

perhaps I have misunderstood the essence of the forum. I thought that people with limited knowledge (me) could reach out to people with more knowledge (you), to spark a conversation and ask questions to get insight. Sorry you find this pointless but I thought sharing my thoughts and getting...
