Panel beater got to work sanding and slicing: but found some hard metal covering a previous repair. more work to tidy it up and some filler and here just waiting for the final fine sanding

Bonnet repair now. I will learn to weld to do footwells and other hidden areas but I'm leaving the bonnet to a pro. The main reason to worry was the extra cooling vents: So I stripped off the insulation lining, light bulb and what remained of the wiper washers, drove to the panel beater...

That's a project for sure! Will be lovely when done

Headlining is done, just waiting on some replacement parts to make their way here through the COVID delays.. sunvisors & dome lights. Next I tried to check the central locking. Got all doors to lock/unlock but drivers door refuses to open. Some fun this morning to get at that. Next up is a...

Thank you, much appreciated!

Thanks for that, will need to do some homework. There are still a few RRC around Malta though many were cannabalised for the V8 engines or hacked into off roaders. Sadly I doubt anyone will be travelling in May this year but whenever you're over next do get in touch we'll go for a drive & a pint :)

I fully agree but can't afford to run a V8 as a daily... I tried and failed. I could get a Disco (which I also did) but vastly prefer the RRC.

I'd like to get a reliable reading so that if it starts overheating I'd be aware. Sorry to sound daft - then which sensor do I need? Thanks

Replaced the headlining over the last week, great improvement! some pics in my resto thread https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rrc-1988-rolling-resto.358255/

Hi, My RRC is a 1988 model converted from EFI auto to 300 Tdi auto. The temp gauge never seems to go much above 1/4 even after an hour + driving. What would a normal reading be? The speedo reads about 15km/h higher than actual speed. The odometer does not work. Not sure where to start as...

Riight that's the headlining complete! 15 hours (much longer than I thought I'd need ) & €100. I've got sunvisors & new dome lights en route from the UK but until they get here I put the old ones back. From this manky rug through hard slog Seeing light And done!

Today I spent 6 hours on top of 3 yesterday to clean off the old fabric from the headlining. Still not done. Awful job :(

Been hacking away at cleaning off the old headlining fabric - right pig of a job!

Thanks all. Now to find some...

So today I just wanted to clean out the interior, bit of a vacuum and wipe down. The headlining was moulting over everyhting so I took it out to be re-done. Then wiped down the inside and a good vacuum. 5 hours later I had got 3/4 done and stopped as the vacuum burnt out. Ooops. Roof is...
