Nope! They're not heater holes, they'd be right at the back and approx 4in in diameter. Those are series 2a wings. They might be side indicator holes for export or military or anything custom.

Does the nearside wing have a round hole in it for a heater inlet? If not, they're genuine 2a late wings.

They sound like a heap of ****. I wouldn't sleep in a vehicle with one, I've seen what Chinese copies of other tech stuff is like.

The maths might work like that but reality doesn't as you get faster. The guy who thinks he's nominally doing 90mph should be shaving a third off his journey time compared to 60 but in reality he's just rushing to the next congested area, when the slower traffic will catch up and it all starts...

Well it's the same as when I start off smart arse, so how would it know? ☺

This is it. Speed is the least important factor in getting around the country quickly. 60-65 in my Sprinter gets me around the country dead in line with sat Nav estimates.

What a load of bollocks, they've designed a rubbish system that is insecure in times when tech should be good enough to be secure. If you banked at Barclays or wherever and someone had a black box that opened the vaults and took all your money, wouldn't you blame Barclays? or just say "oh well...

The inner wings are a very simple shape, easily copied with some plain ally sheet and some wood and clamps to put the bends in.

You've identified most of the easy wins, grille and hinges. 2a also had different rear lights which were larger and had number plate illumination built in (see pic). You could put old style side mirrors on the wings instead of the doors too. Your headlight surrounds are probably silver, think...

Read a post once about hydraulic hoses delaminating or similar inside which caused a blockage in the hose?

I've sent him a PM, he might respond to the email notification if it's set up that way :)

Come and update us about your land rover!!!! its been a while :) theres a thread about you!

Sounds great! Lets see some pics :)

I believe it's the same setup as a station wagon sliding rear side window parts and glass wise, so have a look at a parts diagram or manual for that and you'll be sorted.

It's essentially a small steel box welded onto the bulkhead, can you make it from some square tube?

You need to find a friendly motor trader, they usually have a pro grade hpi type check that gives them vin from reg number. That's what I did. Consumer grade checkers won't do that.

You're at the bleeding edge there mate, most people on here have pretty old land rovers and won't have much experience of the new ones. Try asking in 15 years when most of us lot can afford one. Are the D5 aluminium? Could more than make up for less power if so. Hope you enjoy it either way.

Much easier and quicker to put the S2 wings and bonnet on a defender. I'm not being facetious, thought about it myself.

Enjoy
