    Thanks guys. Yeah. I think I mean the waist seals too. Dopey, can you tell me which item/part I need from COHBaines? I have no idea which fits a RRC.

    Range Rover Classic ('94) Load Area Side Window Seals

    Need a bit more info, if anyone will indulge me ;) The black plastic type strips that sit along the outer lower edge of the door window apertures. There's one on each door. Any idea what the term is for these? Need to order all four, as there's been some corrosion underneath each, that also...

    Range Rover Classic ('94) Load Area Side Window Seals

    The choice seems to be between bespoke parts including the Land Rover kit for both sides at £200 + Vat via Rimmer Bros (may be £250+Vat,can't recall) or some kind of self apply substance that you can cut and shape to fit. We're going the latter route as its cheap as chips, but seems to work well...

    Range Rover Classic ('94) Load Area Side Window Seals

    Hi Guys Looking for some info / guidance. Am restoring my red RR Classic and the above window seals have perished. Rimmer Bros have quoted me 250 pounds + Vat for a pair (left and right side) but, if possible, I'd like to avoid spending that amount, on this one item. I read in another thread...

    Disco 3 (LR3) Buyers guide inc video

    Another sincere thank you for your very comprehensive post. Was considering a Rangey TDV8. But I don't need the space and something a bit lower profile would suit I think. Can’t stretch to a D4 atm. Too many projects on the go. Drove a D4 last year and loved it. Didn't realise until I read...

    L322 To Buy or not to buy. That is the question. Innit ;)

    Hi Guys I'd welcome your advice. Because of severely ruptured discs, there are few vehicles that I can drive comfortably. After a series of Jeep Grand Cherokees, I'm contemplating coming over to the dark side and buying an '07 RR 3.6 TDV8. (face lifted version) I've found one with 200k on the...

    Members in NI?

    I've heard of sending a note to a current owner via DVLA. If you include a couple of stamps and a blank envelope, there's little cost to them. Give them a call. They might surprise you. Otherwise, I'd reckon this is a long shot. If you try DVLA and have no luck there or here, let us know...

    Son missing

    BB, I am so very sorry for your loss. As a police officer, I had to investigate several, very similar cases and they still haunt me to this day, roughly thirty years later. If what follows is inappropriate, please forgive me. I have some experience of working alongside an organisation called...

    Comprehensive guide to restoring a Defender?

    Thanks guys. I get what you're saying about such a guide ending up rather large, but given the relative mechanical simplicity of these vehicles, I hoped there'd be something like this out there. I've read reviews of this Haynes guide and they weren't positive at all. I'd been coming to the...

    Comprehensive guide to restoring a Defender?

    Hi Guys I'm about to start a limited restoration of a Defender to see if my Landy bug survives the experience. Been Googling and trawling YouTube and have come across a very wide range of information. Is there a go-to guide that I can buy, that covers every aspect of restoration? Cheers guys :)

    Range Rover Hybrid or Project?

    Hi Richard I might sell my red Classic if it interests you. It's a 94 soft dash, 3.9 / lpg. Have had a lot of work done since I bought it in February. If you'd like to discuss, I'd be happy to. Will be brutally honest about it, so there's no surprises. But really only a few cosmetics left to...

    Using a multimeter on a vehicle electrical system

    Thanks for taking the initiative and the time to do this Brian. I'm one of those this is directed at. I know what a multimeter is. I've seen many. But I haven't the first clue how to use one correctly. I need to learn, because I'm just about to start a light Landy refurb. Will read all of your...

    How to: lower the manual drivers seat in a RR Classic?

    Thanks guys. I bought this vehicle hoping to make a few bob. That was before the market went off a cliff. Going to keep it stock. Make it as good as my budget allows and hopefully I'll see a return, post Brexit ;)

    How to: lower the manual drivers seat in a RR Classic?

    Only 6'1" and I've always driven with my back as upright as possible. I'm definitely not short in reach. It's more about avoiding back pain on long journeys. Looks like some cuttin and weldin is on the horizon :/

    How to: lower the manual drivers seat in a RR Classic?

    Hi Guys Am having issues with head room in my Dec 94 Range Rover Classic soft dash. It has a sunroof. Have taken the front spacers out, from underneath the seat, which helps minimally. At the rear, the seat is welded to a metal panel underneath. My mechanic has looked at it and says that the...

    First Defender restoration. Tools needed?

    Thanks guys. It's £370 currently , so I'll wait to see if a sale price pops up in the next few weeks. I need to have a good hunt around the warehouse that I have use of, cause I suspect that there may be a load of tools that I could borrow for a while. Have to make some space to work in first.
