    300 TDI water ingress - what are those holes for?

    So I've been experiencing some water leaking into my 300 TDI from behind the dashboard during heavy rainfall, dribbling onto the clutch pedal and into the footwell. When looking for the potential source of it I came across some gaps under the windscreen near the door that I fixed, but there is...

    Removing the air filter bracket

    Has anyone here figured out a solid way to remove and re-attach the air filter bracket without taking the screws from the cylinder head out? I was thinking of cutting the bracket and somehow re-mounting it either in a different place or by re-attaching it, but haven't found a good solution...

    Rustproofing - Bad Job?

    Good evening everyone, I need some help to objectively judge a rather pricey rustproofing job done on my Defender 300 TDI. The garage used FluidFilm products for the inside of doors/chassis and the black fluid film stuff for the underbody. I had this done just last week, and I am not very happy...
