Dont think any are glued on. THe part that I am talking about is the full door seal that seems to be bonded to a rubber u section that fits on the door frame.

Yes thanks, It seems like the doors are the older type where the seal is attached to the channel sill, once i get everything off and cleaned up I will make sure that i get the right ones and hopefully I wont have to slam the door shut afterwards like I do now.

The doors were replaced before I bought the vehicle, the seals on the sill look like the correct 'P' shaped seals, I will take some pictures and post them onto the thread.

All four door seals

I am in the process of preparing to change the door seal for my J reg 110 and have a few snags that I would appreciate any advice or info on. The current seals are the ones that are riveted to the sill channel on the vehicle, but when I bought the vehicle the previous owner said that he had got...

THanks again for the info, will just have to take it on the the chin when we finally get to NZ, and pay the cleaning costs, maybe we should make sure its absolutely filthy when we ship it to get our money's worth.

That price seems alright, once you get into Aus will the customs agents then decide if it is to be recleaned and fumigated? What breakdowns if any did you have along the way?

Spoke to Paul this morning, really helpful, as you said, we would only be needing carnet for SE Asia, but going to get it sorted before we leave and just have it dated for later this year. How much is it going to Ship the vehicle from the UK to Aus?

Yeah we moving over permanently, we bought the vehicle in Oct so that by by the time we get to NZ we will have owned it for over a year, I think that the rules regarding import duty for NZ has changed recently but I will need to confirm this, so we may not get hit with it. NZ and Aus have...

I will definatly have to get in contact with Paul as we are doing a one way trip and ending up in New Zealand and importing the vehicle there. THanks again for all the info.

Any contacts would be a great help, we definatly looking forward to China but i think that the best part will be into Laos, Malaysia and Thailand where we will be able to relax a little and not feel the pressure of being stuck to an itenary.

Thanks for the info, Singapore was a maybe, we were more than likely going to ship from Malaysia, now we definatly are. I have seen some of Paul's threads on the Hubb but need to find an email, and will try to call, the only things is will they they give me impartial advice or plug selling the...

Making earnest preps now for the UK to Singapore overland trip and delving deeped into the world of Carnet de Passage, I am wanting to know where there is a definite and final list of what countries require the carnet. We will be going through, Europe, then on to Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan...

Thanks for all the help. As soon as things start warming up I think that we will be going for the panels.

Can anyone explain why the after market auxiliary fuel tanks are so ridiculously expensive. I understand some are S/S but it seems very overpriced. Does any one know of a supplier for the 100L fuel tanks for '91 defender.

That is a cracking good idea, thanks.

Those are the ones I'm looking for, do you know if they are DIY or ready to buy Thanks Lew

Thanks for the advice, trying to decide what will be best, having spoken to someone they reckon its easier to replace the whole window than try replace the seals as the glass never goes back in, what is every one elses experience on trying to change the seals.

Slowly starting to make preps for big adventure with family next year, got a J reg defender station wagon, but looking to blank out rear sliding windows as seals have gone and it would improve security. Trawling the internet and so far only found Foley's LAnd Rover that seem to sell the blanks...

Looks like it will have to be DIY, cant afford that quote. It will probably end up every where else but on the chassis.
