Probably not. When you look on Ebay for parts and you see private sellers randomly selling a couple of doors or bonnet or whatever you know its most likely stolen. Or specialists come to think of it. Or Defenders pretending to be a Series, so on...

It's usually Land Roverists stealing them but can't hurt to do that.

I disagree, Britpart can be various things, aftermarket (blue box), oem (also blue box with oem on the label, genuine is in a Land Rover box. Anyway regardless of that I haven't had a propshaft fail but a UJ can fail which I presume is classed as...

Genius idea, why did I not think of this - will try this first. Thank you!

Another idea would be them sun shades you can get in Halfords (and other places) to put on side windows to protect babies and such like. Quite often held on with little suction cups, easy to remove when you want to use the sunroof.

Aren't the early diesels just a little bit crap?

How about getting it tinted? Must be a suitable option out there.

It what way is it the safest? In comparison to how many accidents Defenders are involved in or survivability in an accident?

I would buy petrol

They are essentially the same as windscreen adhesive, so pretty robust.

Actually PU adhesive would probably be fine, in conjunction with rivets, being non structural. 2 pack panel glue is more for structural areas.

That's difficult, not sure it's that easy to get rid of ill people nowadays. Of course they might be able to pay you off, good legal advice is needed. Wish you luck.

That .may be the case with me to a certain extent. Of course they get paid for other advice and therefore win more than they lose, wouldn't do the job otherwise.

Here you go.. wandered out to the motor. Unsure how they are held in place but looks like 1 piece.

If they feel a bit tight when you loosen them squirt a bit of oil on the thread, do it up a bit then loosen a little bit more. Wind it in and out a little at a time and you should be ok.

Another Yes from me.

YES.

🤣

Keeps the weeds at bay on the block paving aswell🤣

That looks like its worth a go. A quick search around for Optima didnt find many results on t'interweb. So the nagging concern is how old is their stock and what's the shelf life? (Edit: data sheet says 2 year shelf life unopened container)...

I think Sikaflex do a similar tube where you use a standard gun. I think Optima 'might' be budget type products mostly sold to the trade.

3M will be the proper gear. I’m sure I asked YRM when I got the replacement part what they recommended and it was 3M, buts it’s stupid money just to use a very small amount of it. I’ve saved this seller and if it’s still on the go next time I...

You have longer springs?

They do 2" also, just to confuse things.

That might be crap, never used it, 3M is probably good but the cost seems very prohibitive for the casual user.

Mine did that and left me stranded in Waitrose car park. If you can try a tow start and see if that helps. Also a failing starter can affect the cps which means it will turn over a lot before starting and put the eml on. Solenoid kit did not fix...

You can get rivnuts with a closed end so, in theory, there is less chance of the threads getting water in and rusting up. You would need to be more particular with the length of bolt you use though.

Yes, take the mounting plate off, deal with the rust and fit some rivnuts in the original holes. Then bolt the mounting plate back on and then the filter housing.

Sorry, didn't notice you are new, we have an introduction section somewhere. Go and say hello and post some photos, we like Landy photos.

Pretty sure you just unbolt it, give it a go you will soon find out.
