110 panels

me again.

Now the fuel and gearbox questions have been answered I'm moving onto the
bodywork questions.

If I need to replace the smaller panels on the Landie is there a reliable
source for these on-line?

I'm thinking of areas such as the panel below the windcreen where the vents
hinge (a common area for rust and corrosion).

I presume I'd need to find the part number from somewhere first. Would the
Haynes manual help at all or would a service manual be better?

That would be the top of the bulkhead. You can get repair parts that a
good body shop/welder can 'cut and shut' for you.

PS: anyone recommend such a person in the region of South West London?
Mine is going too.

There's no repair section for the front panel as a such, but there are
top corner repair sections that have the corner and about the first
3" of the vent panel. Door pillars are also available. These parts don't
have LR part numbers as they are supplied by the aftermarket.

Linsay Porter does the following:

DA3040 Defender Restoration Manual - Haynes £15.99

which may be of interest. The "standard" Haynes manual is better for
servicing & mechanical repairs.

First choice is The EPC, I would say it's a handy item to have
especially when you come to the stripping stage often the diagrams
are better than those in the workshop manual. Online you can trawl
through http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/rimmer/land-rover/defender/bodywork
for parts numbers
