Hi Can someone please take a look at the photo and help me understand the construction of this bracket. It has corroded through. Is this a removable (and therefore replaceable) bracket or an integral part of the seat box? Is it structural?

Does anyone have a good source for a detailed parts reference doc for the D1 please? I used to use allbrit.de and although that's still there the diagrams are visible but with no part numbers. Also the British Atlantic and rimmer bros refs are just not comprehensive enough.

Hello and before anyone says throw it away and fit a manual pump, I won't! Fault detected on fuel temperature sensor, which I believe to be integral to the pump. Does anyone know whether this is accessible with / without removing the pump and if so is there a part number please. Alternatively...

I have a nice D1 but with somewhat rusty rear door tops (I. E. The black window frames). Are these interchangeable with D2 and if so will I need the D2 outer seal (sits at top of the door panels against the glass)?

Hello 1990 200tdi 90 defender Found bits of this while poking around in the inner wing area near washer bottle / heater box. Feels like perished cork of approx 15 mm thickness. I'm guessing it's it's some sort of gasket but where from please? 50p coin for scale.
