Me neither just loads of blank posts. i am sure I am not the only one that would like to see an update on this post with finished pics.

I have used the holes provided on one side of the capping. I test fitted the other side and then remembered the toolbox! It cannot be attached on that side in the same position as it would have to bolt into the tool box lid. Any other ideas/ What have other people done? It is on a 109, 5 door.

I reproduced the factory mounts out of MDF then sprayed them black as I noticed you could see the MDF through the grilles. I mounted this on a thin layer of very dense foam cut from ones of those mats you get for camping mats. Normal roof flashing was used to mat out the doors as this is very...

In the whole time of owning my Freelander, i have never seen the glow plug light come on. The car lives in Spain though. It is currently doing exactly the same thing as yours. When started up from could the revs go up and down. The other day it was doing it though having been driven. A bad smell...

Genuine Land Rover ones which seem to be the only ones you can get now. So I reckon Land Rover put their foot down over Britpart selling something which was exactly the same and much cheaper.

It was more for the look as I have the rears and the original LR A bar.

I went to order some of these from Paddocks today only to be told that they were no longer being made. The lack of them on ebay seems to confirm that. Why have they stopped making them? Just when I want a pair. Been meaning to get around to buying some for ages. You can't tell me that they are...

That and paying the high costs of public liability insurance every time a show stand is put together at the various shows you may or may not want to partake in. Who do you think takes care of all that?

Spent a shed load of money with Paddocks buying a new Diff, VCU and bearings as bell engineering didn't have a diff ready for 2 weeks and I need one as of now!

60 but wouldn't want to go any faster than that due to the engine noise. 109 series 3 Santana. 2 and a quarter Turbo. ;)

Doors are Series 3 and Defender doors fit series 3. I have a Santana series 3 and quite a few things are still the same. Remember Santana just constantly revised the series 3 all the way to 2011. Chassis is the same old series 3. It really depends on which model you have. Lyndsey Porter fitted a...

Trust me, for me on this car this is a one time thing of just replacing the door mirrors. Being from Spain the car is very clean and rust free. Untill the next Landy I do of course. :rolleyes:

Thanks! That sounds like a plan. When you take the hinge of is there that big a hole then to install another captive nut? Looks like another order for paddocks then for a complete kit of screws. I wish I had known this as I places quite a large order the other day. I could have saved on time and...

Bulkhead apart in order to change a mirror!?:eek: Where does that start from then? If i drill out the screw there is still the problem or replacing the bolt, ie. nothing left for the new bolt to screw into. It is actually a Santana series 3 but for most things basically the same.

I am just doing a series to Defender mirror change that has new hinges etc. I thought this was going to be an easy task. One door hinge came out fairly ok but the other is just spinning and not coming out. How do you get to the back in order to get to these captive nut things? ? A simple job...

Agreed, some of them do have many faults but if you own any make of car and hang around with others of the same make and model you will find the same catalogue of faults. Sometimes you will hit lucky and the car will have been looked after and never have any of the faults. If you do suffer any...

Nope as I don't drive it all day. :p as for attention to the car, well I have owned many over the years and spent plenty of time money and attention on them all not just the Fleabag as you put it. Cars are my hobby and interest. Can't say if would spend as much as that guy from Poland has but...

:D I have to say as I get older a fully loaded Disco or RR that cossets me becomes ever more appealing. Newer cars have so many more toys. :rolleyes:

Maybe but women don't use them. Never had a bulb go on a Freelander before so it's the first time I noticed that it doesn't have a bulb check. Had so money cars with one as standard. :p Yep just have to go back the traditional ways of old, using the eyes.

When you searched did you spell Karmin correctly? ;-) ie. Harman Kardon? Just a thought.
