Hallo Cappers, thank you so much for the offer, I've just ordered a pair tho, and I have a lovely shiny grill already. I've removed so much of Slindon, she's retired from off-roading now, turned her into a camper.

Thank you for your replies. I didn't want to waste money on the surrounds if they didn't fit. The surrounds I have are broken. Yes found the rivnuts, as you say, I cut them off, bashed them in, and while I was there I removed half of Slindon from inside the chassis. Will have to get a rivnut...

Hallo, numpty question coming up. The headlight surrounds, ie the plastic panel bit, that have the 4 grooves inbetween the side and indicator light, do they fit a 97 defender 300 tdi, or are they only for TDs. I'm looking for a plain pair in gloss black, getting a decent priced plain pair is a...

Thanks everyone, I've applied a bead of silicone sealant, and it hasn't rained since!

Thank you both for your replies, I might try the seam sealant first as the leak is only minor, hopefully that will solve it.

Hallo, some advice please, I have a 97 solid side 110 and have a couple of small leaks coming through the seal between the tub and the sides. Is it an easy job to unbolt and lift the sides to replace the seals or is there a simple easier fix for what are just small leaks? I am hoping to...

Thank you both, I shall do some experimenting.

Thank you, does it make much of a difference whatever tyres you're running?

Sorry, dummy question here, I have a Defender 110 running on steels with Insa Turbo 235/85 R16s, what pressure should I have these at with an light or medium load on road? The manual doesn't seem too helpful as the tyres have been changed since then. I'm clutching at 28/48? Hoping you clever...

Hi Hippo, no not stuck, I've moved it now to where it is safer.

Thank you everyone, spent the last 2 days cleaning out the poor thing, its had 20 years of off-roading abuse, with war wounds to prove it, so it just needs some love now. Oh and a lot of money!

Hallo, I'm a total newbie to this, be nice. I have inherited a 1997 Defender 110 hardtop, its a bit battered but basically good, I think. After getting it generally checked over I hope to convert it into a bit of a camper for me, so I may need to pick a lot of brains on here for advice...
