After Mess level was finished off, but still pre slight tidy up! Then I made a nice workbench... Then dream come true time... Get in!!

Forgot to say, if anyone needs any tips or help with anything related to these jobs I am more then happy to help if I can. Just because its so fresh in my mind!

Last job today. I hooked up the compressor and blew out the four drain tubes. Front two were clean as a whistle and dry as a bone. Offside rear blew straight through and sounds clear at the back of the car. But the nearside rear may have been slightly blocked as a small amount of water blew...

Another tonight update, the roof itself had residue sealer so gave them a good scrape clear... Got my eye on the lacquer damage now. The sun can get harsh here and its broken down the top coat. I am wondering if it will buff up if anyone has painting experience?? I will have a go...

Earlier on tonight and I am happy enough with the outside... Have to give it thought about removing the glass or no? The seals look good but hard to really say. Anyway, turned the frames over and scraped off the tiny amount of sealer Landrover splashed out on. All now clean on both sides!

Sunday morning and after an hour or so with the WD and a scraper it was looking much better... Too hungover to carry on so gave them a wash and stuck em back in the shed

Day 3... I undid all the torx screws and dropped the frames down. Well, in my case the rear one was trapped by the AC ducting but with a big of twisting and wiggles I got it to pull free towards the front. That was me by the way, not the frames! :) Once the frames were away the glass roof...

Roof frames still had some water in them and I could see a very small amount passing the poor silicone seal on the plastic cups. But was surprised to see them still solid and attached There are four of them to check. Two per roof. Look like this for those not yet been in there...

Hi Folks, Not your usual thread of how to fix the discovery series 2 leaking roof problems, not even a how to thread I suppose? But just thought a few wanting to tackle the job might get inspired by my current ongoing works... I have had the drips and the steamy windows for around 18 months...

Some tidy set ups there. Puts me to real shame! I have heaps of space yet nowhere to put anything as its unorganised mess! I am trying to sort it out but even after a few hours of tidy duties it still looks the same! My shed looks a right, well err.. shed!

My thoughts exactly! One at front and one rear would have been much better. But we have to deal with what we have. I would say water can staill get down into the bottom tray via the outside edge of the rubber seal under the glass? My glass is still screwed into the frame so dont know how it...

Cheers! When I moved to New Zealand this time it was top of my list. I built the shed first after buying a few acres. Living the dream as they say! I also have my own 4WD playground!

The glass seal looks OK, but am taking it out tomorrow and giving a good clean and grease. The outer plastic frame to roof seal was virtually non existent. I good squeeze of roof and gutter sealant will fix that. Inside looked really clean but I saw no seal at all between the metal frame and...

Hi Folks, I am guessing that many D2 owners have now fixed the leaky roof syndrome, so would like to ask a question relating to putting everything back together again. I will reseal the drain pots and also seal the outer plastic trim to the outside of the roof. But what about the metal...

Both sunroofs now out and on the shed floor. Let the cleaning and prepping begin!

Some excellent sheds there chaps! Its not about shed envy by the way, I love em in all shapes and sizes! I just happen to be a bit of shed perv and have been since a kid. I had the opportunity when I moved here to have a nice shed so I grabbed the bull by the horns and went for it. Who wouldnt...

As Monty Python would say... Bring out yer dead! Bastard out... ;)

Headlining out. Guess what I am going to fix next..???

Been a while, but Im back! What better place to say hello again than with a shed update? I now have a Mezzanine level fitted and also my dream... A two post lift..!! Cheers all Dave

Quick update... Removed the filler plug with the engine running and nothing ran out. So I liked up my transfer pump into the ATF and the sump actually took on 1.2 litres of fluid! Good job I did not drive it and checked in here first. Thanks for that. The transmission lamp is now...
