    You are just going to have to start at the beginning and check redo everything from the radius arm to chassis bush forward. Mark each bolt with paint to show any future movement. This includes stripping down the swivels and resetting the shims...

    Mud UK do good door cards for series and military doors. I've got them on both fronts and the rear and they look smart. Had them for years and they're still solid

    Don't fit series 3 latches, fit the anti burst type lift up handle latches used on military doors/later series. You'll obviously need to buy strikers too but they'll fit fine.

    Is anyone able to recommend an internal roll cage or roll bar for a 110 hard top that doesn't cost a fortune?

    Got in about it with a wire brush on the grinder mate. A few coats of paint and it looks great. The rust will come back though, but it’s way better than it was.

    Did you paint the frame or fit a new one? Mine is rough, asked YRM if it's something they would consider doing and they said no not at the moment which seems a bit daft to me considering it always rusts to hell.

    I reckon I may have found a big part of the issue. Removed the panhard rod and the bushes are completely degraded after only a few months so those will be getting replaced as will the radius arm bushes just to be sure
