Just contacted James. Very useful guy, thanks for that. I have now purchased the bulkhead as it should fit fine. Next step is trying to take the current one out and put a new one in...... I doubt this is going to go smoothly.

Hi James, Chunkymunky pointed me in your direction. Basically to sum it up im in a pickle and need to buy a new bulk head and get it fitted within the next week, i have limited funds and have found one for a 1992 defender v8. Do you know if this would fit on a defender 1988 110 200 TDI? Thanks...

Thanks for that, and thanks for the help guys im learning as I go so all the help is appreciated.

Hi Guys and gals, Bit of a sticky situation. Basically i have to move out of my house in 1 month as the landlord is knocking the house down. Now the issue is the landrover is in bits in the garage. Luckily just the front bit. I was in the middle of removing the bulk head as its rusted threw...

Hi All, How do you get the rear window out of a cab? The sliding window. Its a puzzle Thanks

Ok, Ignoring the maths and compressor. If i wanted to do it gunmetal grey what course of action would you advice. 800 wet and dry or red scotch bryte then etch primer for the bare metal, normal primer, then 2k paint, followed by clear coat? does that sound right? Then the next step would be a...

If i where to do one panel at a time, e.g a door, realistically whats the smallest compressor i can get away with?

I wish i had a garage. I think i may need to find one, the only other option is taking bits of and painting it in the house.

When you get to thd clear coat stage what did you use to polish it out with? As thats a good job

Yeah i spoke to a local car respraying company who advised the same thing about the metallic v satin. Metallic also being £100 more for the materials. The chap there mentioned about the etching using an aerosol, if i do all the prep work and its ready to roll in then it's £600 + vat (£720) for...

guess you cant see it from that angle, its a big shinny one on the other side.

Hi Guys and Gals, Anyone know of a place to get a cheap respray, will travel. Basically once ive finished replacing all the very rusty bits im going to have a patchwork landy. Soooooo looking for a very cheap way (bar halfords spray cans) to get her re-done. I am looking to do...

Hi Thanks for the advice, your probably right. Apparently theres a really good pay and play in the New Forest down where i am in dorset. Might pop across there. Also decided to print of a defender manual, 500+ pages took a little bit of time.

Luckily i do have a snorkel (don't know why people think i don't), hence the jump in before testing the water approach. I expected to get wet and possible winch my self out.... granted i've never used a winch. Sooooooooo either way probably not the best idea. I will probably take her over to...

i may need need to start one
