If you bring it to a garage they lift the body off, roll out the rolling chassis then swap all the rolling chassis parts across onto the new chassis. They then lower the body back down and bolt it all up. One or two things about that, if the rest of the vehicls has issues they probably wont be...

Doesn't the sender work through earth?

Rewired all my accessories, fitted a rear seat, getting on with interior comfort stuff.

What did you use?

Does it have trailer electrics? Or has it ever had the harness chopped or modded? A voltage drop on a single run of cable is unlikley.

Also, bypass the switch, see if the voltage climbs.

Check voltage at other lamps too, check vontage at whatever you can so long as its on a different circuit, you might find its the battery, battery earth, or something else. Does it turn over fast?

Any ideas guys? Any cheap options that work?

Its not all the same colour! its about 4 different shades.

We buy anycar has no idea what my Ninety is.

Notice the electro corrosion where the steel door frame meets the aluminium skin?

I cant find any recent pics, this was about 4 years ago, its way way worse now, but from a glossy (Tekaloid is very, very glossy) to this and no way to correct it, I guess it isnt bad, but you need to do it properly from the get go, back to alimuniom, etch primer, high build, paint, then clear...

I dont know about Raptor, never seen one up close, but it depends on what you want to do with it. If you are going to buy new boots and hat and show it off you may as well give it a nice new coat, if you are going to drive it through fields of scratchy scratches enamel it, if you are going to...

I think, cos I cant see the photo you quoted, thats the tub to chassis mount and where the seatbelts attach. Basically, aluminium on metal will corrode, the aluminium becomes sacraficial and will corrode but the metal wont, so the tub will be full of corrosion where it mounts to the chassis, I...

That was 16 years ago! I used a brush, I would be careful, coach painting is a very skilled trade, it takes a huge amount of skill and knowledge, the paintman will sell you paint and show you how to paint akin to painting a shed but you wont get the mirror finish that a skilled coach painter...

As for bodywork, thats a massive can of worms on a vehicle your age, it will need doing, but its a lot more than a rusty door.

I used Tekaloid on mine, tought myself to coach paint. When it was done it looked pretty good, great in fact, but enamel doesnt sit well with time, it oxidised after around 6 or 7 years then just started to look very bad and the problem is you cant polish enamel paint. I wouldnt do it again...

I bought mine 15 years ago as a basket case, chassis was so bad you could pull it apart with your fingers, so apart it came and back together it went. All the original bodywork is still on it apart from the doors, my bonnet has totally had it too! But I can safely say, Defenders were not built...

Workshop manuals arnt the same as parts catalogues, I may have one here if you want it for what I paid for it, think it was a tenner or there abouts, I will check in the shed. I used to be one of Pauls techs a while back, he really does know his stuff, and if he doesnt know (which isnt very...
