Thank you both. Blimey, involved then! Trouble is I cannot see a way of sorting the rust without removing the sides to get at it properly. Thanks again. Needs some thought.......

Can someone tell me what is involved in removing the upper side panels and roof as one unit of a 2008 Defender XS90 station wagon please. We have rust appearing halfway along the seam between the upper side panels and the ‘hips’ and need them separated to repair and spray. Thanks

My son is moving to the Isle of Man next year and taking his Puma Defender. Anyone know of any LR specialists on the island please? Apart from the main dealer!

Thank you very much. Perfect!

The lights master switch has started being temperamental so I have ordered a replacement switch. I hope someone here has done this before - I am pretty sure I need to remove ther steering wheel and the shrouding. But do I need to remove the complete switch assembly for indicators, wipers, full...

I have to replace my very old Goodyear 7.50x16s on my Series 3 88. They are cracking up on the sidewalls and I’ve had the car over ten years and they came with it! I Mainly drive on roads and want tyres that aren’t slippy in the wet. I have heard that Avon Rangemasters are slippy......does...

My lad’s 2008 Defender swb station wagon has rust coming through at the seam joint on both sides as shown below. The seam join is just below the cab back at the front end of the side window (hope that makes sense!). Does anyone have experience of this? How best to repair please? Taking the cab...

Anyone know the external exit location of the aircon drain pipe on an XS90 please?

Hi Guys I have a 2008 XS90 with leaking water into the passenger footwell! Surprise surprise. Can someone please explain where the aircon drain pipe is beneath the car as I want to clear it out (if only i knew where it was!). Help please. Thanks

I have a 2011 L322. When I retract the sunroof, the sunshade goes back with it. The sunshade retracts into the roof but when I close the sunroof the sunshade is still retracted inside the roof and I can only just reach it with my fingertips to pull it back out. I know this isn't right! The...

Thanks Guys - makes sense. :)

I have just bought a very tidy Defender 90 XS but the previous owner fitted a rear light guard and then removed it becasue the spare wheel hit it. The guard was fitted by screwing into previous rivet holes. Those holes are now empty and I want to fit rivets in the holes but they need to be the...

I have a series 3 with the military-style bonnet mount for the spare wheel. I want to put the wheel onto the roof rack and remove the mount. I know nothing of the dark art that is body repairing so can someone please tell me when I remove the mount and drill out the rivets etc (I think it is...

Hi Pete. Thanks for the reply. Are they quieter than what I have on at the moment? Roughly how much are they to buy?

I am currently running Goodyear Xtra-Grip Hi-Milers 7.50 - 16C. They look great on my Series 3 but are so noisy and a bit slippy on the road in the wet. Can anyone please suggest suitable replacements that have a similar look but are a bit more up todate, safer and quieter please? I don't often...

I also have a BRC system on my 4.4 HSE. Converted it when I bought the car in 2007. I agree that there will be insufficient fuel feed for the supercharged version as I do find that once I have only a third of a tank left, if I put my foot down hard, it struggles and seems to hold back. Flick to...

Thanks guys - some interesting ideas.

Just sorting out inside the cab of my series 3 - ripped out all the damp storage (felt sound deadening), scraped off the glue, wire brished, sanded and wire wooled everywhere...... I now need help please...... What do I use as a sealant around the edges of the floor panels? Do I use etching...

I have a series 3 88" hardtop. As most of you will know there is an issue with vehicle weights declared on V5s. Mine says (like everyone else's) 3499kg....which it is clearly not! I spoke to the DVLA and they said send a rubbing or photo of the VIN plate and they will change the V5 accordingly...

I have a series 3 1983 - changing up from 1st to 2nd to 3rd is fine. Changing down from 3rd to 2nd, it 'grates' into 2nd gear. Any ideas why please and what I need to do to sort it?
