I had a look at that but could see no sign of anything relevant to the primer being porous. I was just curious incase there was a limit to how long you could leave it before top coating. If its a rust inhibitor id hope it wouldnt matter. I'll heat it up before painting. Thanks.

I rubbed down my body cappings and treated the pitted rust with Hammerite "Rust Beater" grey primer, however the weather turned awful and I had to put the landy back together before I could topcoat. I primed on Sunday and it's been raining for a couple days. Will the grey primer absorb water or...

Perfect, I picked up some PVA and I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Would it be worth putting some sound dampening sheet under the insulation as well or is that just wasted material? I have rubbed the head lining down and will be covering it this weekend. Cheers

So the headlining itself is fairly rigid, I just wanted to seal the inboard side as the fibres are sticking out and I reckon it will just soak up the moisture. Do I need to apply the fibre glass patches or can I just apply the resin to seal it?

I haven't but that was an enjoyable read, thanks for that! Hahaha. It gives me a bit of confidence that my headliner might cover up nicely.

My headlining was saggy and mucky so I decided to remove it to cover it with some fresh carpet. Peeled back the fabric on my headlining and it looks worse than I thought (see pics). Is my headlining worth a fix or is it too far gone? Was thinking I could either refurb the current liner or just...

I live in Elgin actually. Where abouts are you?

The problem with the expedition racks is that they aren't flat and would cause issues with fitting a roof tent. I wouldn't be doing extreme off-roading with the roof tent fitted anyway, it's just for road trips.

https://www.flatdoguk.com/flatdog-rax-roof-bar---defender~1003 Something like fitting a couple of these? Much cheaper alternative than buying the full rack. Doesn't show load rating though.

Do you know which company sells reputable roof bars for the defender that are not super expensive? Cheers.

I'm looking at buying a Howling Moon roof tent for my Defender 90 which is already very expensive. I've been looking around and the roof racks I've seen are around £400-700. Are there any cheaper alternitaves like just buying a few roof bars rather than a full rack? I don't need the rack to...

Looks like it's unavailable. I'll need to go to a breakers. Thanks for your help!

Oh, awesome. What's the part number if you don't mind me asking? The local garage said they couldn't find the part...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find another plastic trim (pictured) that sits around the radio? My one has broken off and leaves the bottom half of the radio hanging out. Can I buy the part itself or do I have to buy the full dashboard kit? Cheers, Jonathan
