I too have had some small paint issues
im replacing the windscreen blocks this weekend with genuine land rover parts but am going to prime and paint myself. im no spray paint expert but I think with a bit of care my spray job will last more than the two months land rovers attempt did. just part of the journey  |

One for the suggestion box at the factory. From the amount of swarf I've found in mine it would make a tidy sum for them if collected in the scrap metal bin. Not surprised to find your paint cracked there - they do torque down those bolts for the canopy struts pretty tight. In fact so tight on a corner of mine it actually pulled the tub topside up a few mm  |

Fitted a few FCX bits picked up from Matt at Billing - very pleased with the quality, and a top bloke too
. Apologies for the poor quality cameraphone/horrible light in the shots...

You're very welcome 
Feel free to use those photos, although I'm planning on taking some more once I get home and using real camera (and have put the switches in and stuff)  I'll send you copies of those too. 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU |

The one nearest the drivers seat can't be used but the other one is ok if the cup isn't too tall.
When fitted in a TD5 there's no clearance issues on either one. The cup holder is also removable leaving a rubber lined trinket tray |

Oh right, extra storage space is always good! The console does look fantastic! I have Fold down cup holders on the rear of the cubby, that may be an option.. Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

As an Alfa/LR owner I can tell you Alfa have them beat hands down on reliability! 7 years in last Alfa: - one weeping seal on the clutch slave - £160 4 years in a Disco: new clutch - £1300 new suspension bushes EGR failures (Alfa also had EGR, no problem) - total failure both had to be recovered tailgate lock failed and had to be replaced handbrake adjusted 7 times and stuck on twice handbrake motor failed - £360 Air-con pipes rotted through and air-con died week before European tour - £700 Drivers door lock failed 100 other things I have mentally blanked out By an Alfa, you'll be stunned by the reliability if your a hard-core land rover fan! Disco 3 gone but the memory of the bills remain...
XS 110 Utility maybe one day..... (did they fix the quality yet?) |
