Thanks, massive impulse purchase as my wife swore blind she wouldn't allow another Defender then decided we should have this one as soon as we saw it. Trial camp in a couple of weeks time and then onto greater things, in particular making the roof of the Quadtech lift.

Thanks all. Plenty more to come, new front brakes including calipers arrived from Advanced Factors today (upgrading to vented, hopefully the calipers will fit in as there seem to be some early axles where they don't) together with a pack of Silent Coat to hopefully make things a bit more civilised.

Cheers. Another busy weekend, front drivers swivel was leaking badly so spent most of my time doing that, since I was in there anyway I've changed the Railko and bottom bearing. At the same time I changed the wheel bearings for good measure so I know that side is (should be..) sorted for the foreseeable. The brakes were pretty poor when we picked it up so we're in line for replacement. I've also swapped them over to vented, I've experienced brake fade and am in no hurry to see it again so it seemed worthwhile. Old caliper was in a pretty sorry state.

Quite surprised how much it has deadened the sound in the cab.

Are you planning to use the space under the rear seat box?
I've got my diesel heater mounted under there and some extra storage stuff. |

Do you mean under the driver's? I've been wondering what to keep in there, diesel heater is an interesting idea! it's got a locker at the back that I had thought about using for a heater but it's perfect jerry can size so a bit loath to lose it.

Ah, no rear seat for me, it's a truck cab so just the two seat boxes.

Yesterday my wife had the day off so set to on fitting the Exmoor Trim premium carpet set, after a few hours of frustration she gave up. Mixed bag this, great quality carpet but offset by a couple of issues. I've had days where nothing goes right so when I got home we set to getting it in.
First issue was the double sided tape that they supply, utterly useless so a trip to Toolstation for spray adhesive put that right. Second issue I'm not sure if with us or them. I ordered the R380 set as that is what ours has been converted to. The fit of the footwell area carpets is great. The fit of the seat box pieces was poor. The cut outs for the boxes was off which I'm assuming is due to changes through the years but I was surprised that the carpet had so much slack on length. That said once it was in the finish was pretty good so all in I'm happy. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Progress will slow down a lot soon to allow the bank account to recover! |
