Aaaand she rides! Brakes bled, wheelarch liners back in, fiddly bits by grille back in place! Drove up and down the road, felt great apart from lack of alternator- this was because I hadn’t reconnected it properly haha! So she’s done. Bonnet catch not quite right yet, think cable needs...

Ah, thanks! Will refit liner and get hold of rubber mounts.

Nearly finished putting my Disco back together (see thread in member vehicles)! -Plastic wheelarch liners- should I bother putting this back? Will it keep water out or trap grot in? -Having trouble with the bonnet release catch- has anyone got exploded diagram of all the parts showing how they...

Lots of progress again today- upper panel welded in and primed. Then cut the headlight mounting panel out the old inner wing and pop-riveted it to new inner wing. Felt wrong cutting brand new metal up but had to trim a few bits to make it fit, made sure I’d fitted the plastic surrounds...

Test fitted upper and outer wing today. To get panel gaps right I tried fitting bonnet lock to see fitting when bonnet is shut. Bonnet was a right pain to get shut properly- guessing this is to do with front slam panel being messed about. Any ideas on how to get bonnet to shut cleanly...

Thanks for reply! Yeah I have the old light box- spoke to Nick Frogatt who said best thing was cut front off old light box and pop-rivet to new one. Has anyone done this?

Has anyone fitted 200tdi headlights to easy-on replacement wings? Put new inner wing on but looks like some mods will be needed to fit older style lights due to different fixings.

Also has anyone fitted 200tdi headlights to easy-on replacement wings? Looks like some mods will be needed!

Busy day today! First of all I made up the plate to go on the lower front bulkhead and welded that on. Then offered up the inner wing panel to get it tweaked properly to fit... This shows it with the upper wing panel resting in place. Then did a load of drilling for the bolts to fix it in...

Made plate for lower bulkhead side and welded it on- looking happier. Tomorrow’s job is front of bulkhead, possibly trial fitting inner wing.

Busy day today. Off came the inner wing with much grinding. You can really see how mangled the old wing was when compared to new one! Managed to get the upper wing off the old one, won’t put it on new one until it’s fitted to car to get panel gaps right. Then began chopping rot out...

Began stripping more off inner wing (wiring loom, brake pipes, front body mount) in preparation for drilling out spot welds to remove inner wing today. Keep finding bits of Peugeot glass from the rear window of car I hit!

Thanks for the replies- am going to give it a go straightening panel out first.

Inner wing came yesterday so started stripping ancillaries off old one- wasn’t too bad but did reveal more tinworm in footwell. This will need to be patched before inner wing goes on. Not particularly looking forward to removing inner wing top too as will have to straighten it up and reuse it...

Does anyone know where to get the rivets which hold the rubber seal onto the gearbox tunnel? I’ve removed mine by drilling out the pop rivets but can’t find the right size to replace with. I’d rather use self-tapping screws or bolts but can’t find them either! The bits that go in the holes here...

Yep it’s same one still on Autotrader! Seller hasn’t pulled ad. Whilst waiting for inner wing to come I got cracking on the gearshift bias spring replacement (gearshift was awkward to get into 3rd/4th), the plate had broken and was an easy fix. New bias plate and spring in place... So...

Good call- the inner wing section I’ve ordered replaces the entire lot- https://www.froggatts.co.uk/page39.html Pricey but worth doing as I want to keep it. Insurance guy came round today- it’ll be written off but he said buying it back won’t be a problem as it’s non structural damage.

Right. Arse. This happened... Which is annoying. Even the cat is saying “You idiot...” A learner driver stopped, went again and stopped, I didn’t. My fault- can’t argue. On removing the outer wing and bits, I discovered the inner wing was i) bent and ii) rusty... So luckily someone...

Zombie thread I know but this thread suggests it’s single wire locking on the pink wire- this right? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/central-locking-actuator-aftermarket-alarm-question.120701/

Cheers thanks! Have powered it up and it does appear to ask for a code (which I don’t have!) Am looking through the places which can decode radios. Thanks! These high end systems sound amazing- I just want my original stereo back in, know it won’t sound amazing but will look retro. Planning on...
