The thing is I did want to keep the vents to keep it looking original, I think I might just buy another bulkhead of fleabay and cut it under the seam and weld the new piece in. There seem to be a load of bulkheads for sale, considering the value of the Defender I am surprised so many are being...

Newbury show sounds like it would be a good day out, only prob is cost of getting there and time to travel etc. Think its about 700 mls there Lol. Slidy windows? hmm does thou mean elec ones?

Evening all, sorry if this has been posted before, I have done a search and find bits and pieces but everyones Defenders seem to be a bit different. Can anyone tell me if all push button doors are the same on the 90 and 110, I am looking on Ebay and it seems to be a bit of a mine field. I need...

Oh, I bought a sealy Mightymig 150 today to start work on my Defender, it is a gas/no gas type. At the moment it has gasless wire in it, should I remove this and buy an Argon cylinder? I am a mechanic NOT a welder so took advice from the guy at the tool place. Was he talking out of his bum hole...

Oh god....the horror.

Bloody hell, I give up. R some people really that uneducated?

Thanks for the reply mate. I did have a look at the chart yesterday and indeed Rioja was on that year, but without a paint code it seemed hard to be sure. I will ring the Landy dealer in Inverness with the chassis number and see if they can help. Cheers

This car needs bleeding up properly by someone who knows the problems the K series can suffer from. I mean no disrespect to anyone, everybody is trying to help but unless it is bled properly (there are a couple of bleed screws) and the cap checked etc etc you are going to struggle. You probably...

Yes, thats Thomas 6 years old and Land Rover mad, a couple of the gilts were wondering around the yard that day, proper free range:D some of the pigs are so tame, some are not though:( we are very very lucky here, some fantastic scenery:D

Too true mate, the truth is he needs a right f888 kicking end of story......oh and the locking up for good:mad: Poor lady, I do feel for you.

What engine is it??? maybe I have missed it. I have probably done 50 rover head gaskets over the years (mechanic) and bleeding them properly is absolutely essential. They can be an absolute nightmare to bleed correctly. Many head gaskets are NOT gone!! its the cap not sealing properly. The cap...

Thanks mate

No kidding Lol, there is a pic of mine in my gallery just after I collected it, been standing a while so dirty and some oxi here and there but cleaning up well so far.

Yes, 500, had to haggle though Lol
