One approach (which may not be relevant): if you're going out with a spouse/partner/mate, why not go separately and stagger the journeys by 10 days or so? That way you can identify any obvious gaps in your supplies and the second to travel can buy and bring them out. No extra cost but easier...

Could you 3-D print something suitable as an adapter/junction piece? Some traders will even help with the CAD part so you get a file the 3-D printer can work from.

Great guide - I did the job yesterday on my 88” SW and it took about 3 hours to do both sides. Main problem I found was inserting the sealing strip: partly because, as others have said, it’s a really tight fit, partly because the insertion tool I used was just slightly too narrow for the strip...

Coincidentally I'm just doing this sort of job myself. The cable goes into the heater box top and then attaches to the right-hand (nearest driver) flap by a trunnion - see pic. You need to remove the heater box top to get at it (22 small screws, many of which may be rusty). In my case the...

Working for me...excellent news!

Hi all, Came here from the landrover.net forum - series 3 owner currently running an 1983 petrol 88" station wagon as a hobby car while I try to restore to something closer to its original condition. A lot of this is cosmetic (missing/damaged trim, undoing previous owner bodges etc), with some...
