Tonight had a go at re-sealing my leaking Alpine window seal. I purchased some Sikaflex 291i.
Cleaned up around the seal and degreased and while cleaning up the area and re-adjusting the seal had split behind the filler strip. So fingers crossed its sealed. just need a good down pour to test the seal now (hopefully the Sikaflex will set before then) 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

.... Pulled the trunk of a Eucalyptus tree (8ft tall and 10inches wide) from the ground of the front garden via a strap. Great fun. Cheers,

Spent 5 hours on Defender4's black 90 under the bonnet, interior, sealing the capping's and wire brushing/acid treating the minor rust underneath. Just need to cavity wax the chassis and Dinitrol the rest outside, another 4-5 hours so will start early to beat tomorrows heat!
Word of warning - Dinitrol usually give you a boiler suit, hat, mask etc in the kit but this wasn't present so it will be a trip to Halfrauds first thing to get covered up This is an 07 model in VERY good condition as it is garaged BUT it still has corrosion which is a PITA - If anyone buys a new one GET IT DONE ASAP, straight from the dealership if you can, it makes a huge difference in condition and preventing all the corrosion problems so many seem to be returning to dealerships for - spend £150 and get a couple of cans of AFC-50 and a kit from Dinitrol, It's the cheapest and best way to spend money on your Defender |
