2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

Be a bit careful pushing the centre panel back in. It usually fits properly quite easily and the fact that it hasn't popped into place makes me wonder if there are wires trapped between the panel and the rest of the dash.

2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Santorini Black

Mine was exactly the same after I had the wiper motor replaced. Only realised the morning after as it was dark when I picked it up. Just loosened the lower screw and pushed it back into place.

Wasn't worth taking it back to the dealer, but that was mainly because they've always been good with every issue I'd had in the past, and this was the only 'niggle' I had with them.

In your case though considering how many issues you've had I'd be tempted to go back and kick up a fuss...

Did wonder if it was because of the aftermarket stereo, and the dealers don't have the correct tools to remove it properly?

Might be I found with mine it put it slightly out of alignment. Nothing that a slight adjustment wouldn't sort out. KEEP CALM AND Drill ON

black wolf - exactly what I was after .... I'll be careful.

fair comment about the stereo.

re; kicking up a fuss I have to say I was a little 'short' almost rude when after having transfer box work and expensive service undertaken that I should have to turn round and head back after only getting a mile or so down the road to notice the dashboard doing morse code !

turns out they'd not put an earth point back correctly !

Warren - same here. didn't notice till next day because dark.

2016 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS DCPU Fuji White

after changing the wiper motor in the 110 the other day i had the same problem when i put it all back, basically slaken off the 3 screws int the top of the main dash one either end and one in the middle of the dash. Then push the center dash in and then tighten the 3 screws again
