Afternoon campers. Today I decided to refit the upper dash on my S3, just to make sure everything lines up before recovering with new vinyl. First job, fit the fly mesh to the bulkhead. Only it doesn't fit 🤯 This is how it looked in the old bulkhead As you can see, the inside of the...

Keep the faith, half of the tyre is still inflated 🤪👍

Thank you, I'll have a good look 👍

Yes, but the bit I need is not on that page and I don't know the actual part number of the bit I need 🤯 It's this bit

Good point. Id forgotten about that 🙄 Steel it is.

Morning campers 😀 Looks like Noel's lower dashboard is pretty much rotted out (no surprise there) First I thought about fiberglass repair, as I am au fait with the materials. My next thought, as a non welder, I was thinking about getting some .5mm mild steel sheet, cutting and making the...

I'm sure it will all be fixable and you will have fun with your land rover. I wouldn't feel stupid. Your landy works and drives. Some of us (the real stupid ones 🙄) buy total rust buckets and then spend £££££ and still don't have them in a drivable condition after 3 years 🤣

I'm hoping to use the old foam, it seems in fairly good condition 😁 Boss lady saw the dash last night and said, don't bother repairing, buy the new one, stop being tight, it's only £600! Still undecided, I'd quite like to have a go at a repair 🤪

Very interesting. Way beyond my talent level. As a non welder, I wonder if rivets would work? I didn't think the lower dashboard was too rusty, not compared to the chassis, bulkhead and door frames.🤣

Hope you are on the mend 👍

Yes, I saw that and was tempted. I do a fair bit of grp roofing, so as I have the materials on hand, I thought, what's the worst that can happen 🤣

I'll take that as "it's beyond salvage" then? Just wondering if I can fabricate something from fiberglass? At least it won't rust!!

Oh dear. It's worse than I remember 😭 I think this might be beyond salvage 😭

Seem to remember it was something like a phosphor - bronze bush that was causing the rattle. Mind you, this was 15 years ago!

Same with mine after replacing the clutch. Seem to remember that I did it on the cheap and didn't replace a bearing. But you say that you have done the bearing?

Must be engine related as they do not appear rusty. I knew all that leaking oil was for a purpose 🤣

Having recently done one, bottom photo is part of the timing chain kit 👍

Best I have

I miss my k series powered F1 There, I've said it. I feel so much better

Btw, those photos are before the big strip down
