I have finally had a bit of time yesterday before the rain came in to change my vents ( flaps ) Wink as the foam was nearly non existent and letting extra cold air in, this has been going on for a long time Rolling Eyes i think that the foam was the original from when she left the factory Shocked

Not much to see in the pic's but taking them off was not to bad, but putting them on was a bit more involved, in the end i got a mirror so i could line up the hole and then get the bolt the right angle to catch the thread, once i had done this, the others went in a lot easier. The top pins on the N/S came out very easily Very Happy but the pins on the O/S came out ok but with the help of a screw driver and hammer, once they were out i could see that they were a tiny bit rusted, so i cleaned them up with a bit of wet n dry and they went in proper, so all was good Very Happy I finished just in time as about 5 minutes later the rain started Sad

Back done and ready to take the foam .......

Struggling with seeing what normality is. Though the weights on the wheels look fresh and there's finger marks all over them... New tyres?

Well done Clayton, I guess the roll cage didn't make the vent job any way easy.

Thanks Mariner Thumbs Up

No it did not, i could have done with that bit more open, but a sudden thought of using a mirror did the trick Wink Clayton.

Why did you replace the front tyres? they looked ok in the pic. the vent job was one of the plans I had this year on the 300 but that never came down did it lol Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
