I’m saying it, I’m a bell end and it was simple fix. Bad earth on the passenger side. Turns out just cause you thing your radiator cowl is earthed doesn't mean it is. Fresh earth, cold hands and smug wife (she said wiring at some point but I thought it was a question rather then suggestion)...

Evening all Desperately need some help as I’m now frozen and lost the will. Bought new led head lights to replace the candles I currently drive with. Fitted and connected them up to find the passenger side is very dim and turns off when I put the full beam on. Swap them round and the same...

Sorry missed that this is for the Exmoor's fitting to the old seat mounts. Bin that photo. In which case no idea I'm afraid.

I've just done something similar to you I think. Fitting new defender 2nd row seats into a 110 that had old school seat. I was doing a fair amount of work but got an new mid x member from yrm which has four upright brackets coming off it for the two bolts on each of the feat on the seats. The...

L love the post and something I’m thinking about doing (not cause I need to for your reasons would just rather not bump anything, mainly my own kids). I’ve not really got to thinking about how to do it in too much detail but a lot of the cameras available come on an angled plinth for fitting...

They are great. Will use them again but bit far for me just to pop in. Not sure I’ll be doing the bulk head just now. Might look at it in a year or so. Just going to patch the footwells in situ just now. How’s yours coming along? Managed to get some paint on? Got all my parts painted...

I did the same thing! Now got the right tank but for the life of me can I find any guidance on how to fit the rerun pipe or send unit to the tank. Anyone able to give some guidance? Return looks like it has bolts holding it in and have a washer and metal ring for the sender unit on the side...

I’ve just painted my chassis with coroless glass flake boat paint. You car pay for someone to do it or give the chassis a good wire brush and paint yourself. Goes on great and looks excellent. Might need two coats for the full 15 years in case of any missed bits on first pass. Going to wax oil...

Omg!! Yea I’m sitting a 2k at the mo but had been told it needed that on welding/ patching of the body alone. Was lucky it was a galv chassis already and bulkhead is just needing the foot wells done so I’ll just patch them. Been getting the parts from Yrm metals. Great stuff and good value. Most...

Yea think that might have been the vid. I’m the same as you having had a landy and parted with it this one is staying in the family and hope the kids will use it (that’s some 10 years away) one day. One thing to be aware of with the sealant. Depending what paint you may or may not be using...

Sounds like the path I’m going down. Did watch a vid where they masked the joints with tape and then put the sealer over. You could clearly see the seam sealer after tape was removed but it had nice crisp edges. What seam sealer are you using? Guess it’s the way we all do it, as in we’re going...

Anything to try and keep the water out!! Have been looking about and spoke with a couple of local garages and they have sujested a foam tape were two sheets over lap. With something as you sujest for any joints or vertical seams. Thanks again to everyone for the responses.

Yep butt up no over lap. Got plenty of left over Ali sheet having taken out the floor. Think I’ll do as you say and just lay a strip under and rivet it in. If site is working again I’ll mind and put up some photos. Sealed rivets, great idea. Trying to find a stealant that stays mailable just...

Yep I can’t spot weld so it’s going to have to be rivets. Not sure I’m up for making my own floor but the chequered plate must make it solid as a rock and yes does away with the joint issue of the T shape.

Thanks for the reply and for the update on the website. Floor is all out (together with everything that was under it..) new parts ready to go in. I have a new 2nd row floor and the upstand to the rear tub height. The floor from the upstand back has come in three parts. One rectangle that runs...
