Thanks for replies ! Might use tiger seal

Just to add I don’t mean the carpet retaining part. The seal that is sandwiched between the bottom of the battery box and top of the sill

Hi I’m removing battery box and sill from my 110 (mot failure) and there is a seal between the two which is now ruined. where can I buy this seal and can I just get a roll or something and cut it to length? Don’t know what it’s called so struggling to search for it! Thanks!

Hi I bought a new pipe from Land Rover - 200tdi lift pump to filter body. I have air leak and looks like the pipe didn't seal in pump - i think I just need a new olive to try again but what size is it and where to get them? I'm guessing 6mm but only want to change it once more! Does anyone know...

Any landys going to display? Might take my heap but it does say take drip tray - I'll need complete coverage!

thanks for that, I'll have another crack at it this weekend! what's the torque setting on these bolts or are they supposed to be glued in?

maybe i'm old fashioned and thought i had enough tools but now i'm stuck - what are these new bolt heads - my 87 110 has them holding brake calipers on and swivel to axle - consequently I can't change my swivel oil seals. thought i'd crack it this weekend but can't even get the brakes off. what...
