I'm thinking maybe those open ends should be glued together? Al.

Ah, goes across at about 45 degrees to stop the rear edge of the wheelarch from flexing?

Putting my front wings back on again. I'm usually very good at making notes and taking photos but I don't have a record of where these bits came from. I think this foam piece may go between the heater fan and the inlet on the lhs front wing? But I can't see this part on relevant diagrams...

Like it! :) I believe Paddocks sell a sort of straight jacket that 'trains' your elbows to stay glued to your rib cage in all circumstances...but one reviewer has complained that he can't reach the touch screen controls on his dashboard. A modern Defender driver I suspect... I will buy the...

Anyone tried these? Might look a bit modern in a '75? https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/half-door-trim Al.

Hey all, I have had my SIII for a while now and the intention is to do a full body off restoration but I have a couple of other projects to finish up first so I'm going to put it back on the road. To make my drive a little more pleasant I'm going to do a cleanup of my interior. I have deluxe...

It would seem so. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of painting of the box of stainless fixings I bought to put mine together again...

Waxoyl is now rather old tech. Bilt Hamber Dynax is better. A few of the car mags have done trials. All about creep. Dinitrol does also get good reviews, as does the stuff from Rust.co.uk. I like Bilt Hamber because you can speak to the boffin there, Pete Hamber.

Sounds good. What supplier? A. Hold that question...you can buy it on Amazon!!

Great progress. The paint looks like it went on well. What paint did you use? Keep up the photos, I'm about to start on a Marine Blue '75. Al.

OK, thanks will do. Seems the Defender tailgate will also fit? Seems to be more of them available. A.

Ah, great idea, hadn't thought of that. I'll keep a lookout. A.

Did for daily drivers but the Landy didn't have a current MOT so no chance there.

So, since I plan to replace hard roof with canvas I need a half door at the rear. I think a half door that hinges the same way as the full door will make rear access easier. The drop down is presumably more for pickup style? So anyone done this and has a recommendation for which door to buy...

I like the notion of driving a vehicle that has passed an MOT but would prefer not to have to do it every year. Unfortunately here in N.Ireland they haven't brought the 40 year exemption in so I am stuck now with no MOT and no way of booking one...

Hi there. You posted in a thread about power steering in 2015 which I was reading. Not interested in power steering but you listed the many things to check to improve steering generally. What is TRE that you referred to? Cheers, Al.

Thanks Bob. I'll probably err towards originality. This is one of the diagrams that had me thinking that there were seals on the doors... Al.

Indeed you are. My moniker derives from a wholly unpatriotic interest in Stuttgart's finest export. I use the same handle on all car sites even though it makes no sense on most of them...

Thanks all, Just to clarify, are there seals attached to the door or are there only seals on the body. I can find no photos of series III doors with seals on their outer edge. But the parts diagram shows three seals on the door? Cheers, Al.

Hi, Yes, it's a '75 series III as per photo. There are no seals on my door tops at the moment and no holes where they might have been! Any photos anyone? Cheers, Al.
