and a window glass is around £100 and I don't have glass cover so..... the doors are RTF (rusted to ....) dented, scratched an generally buggert. The hinges are worn out, the catches and striker are also buggert. The driver's door doesn't lock unlock on the key and the door cards are in pieces...

Thanks james....that sounds really straightforward. I'll write those notes down and give it a coat of looking at. It's such a joy to have a vehicle that I can work on.

....and another question. The transfer box now selects hi neutral and low like a good un....it were just seized through lack of use. Now it might be poor technique or operator error but it doesn't seem to go diff lock from either hi box or low box. The lever moves but just springs back. The...

Just bought a 7 year old Freelander TD4s - just in time for the snow, eh? I know it's Landie Lite, but I wanted summat that can flog up the motorways and the most serious work it will do is the odd short farm track or unsealed road to radio towers. Anything worse than that and it's on with the...
