Been ticking off a few tasks (in the short period between things breaking).

Finally the new door hinges are on. Fronts had been knackered for ages but the last straw was the kids having to pull closed the rear doors with two hands once inside…. They were somewhat stiff!

Chassis protection done before the proper cack weather sets it.

Popped a new nose on to replace the standard XS grill. Quite liking it (even if the paint on my surround is looking a bit ratty).

I’d quite like to get some metal surrounds for the lights in silver……. One for another day.

Generally driving really well right now. Chocked over 85k, new gearbox and clutch are lovely (for a defender) and hopefully I’ll have a few months without broken sensors or hoses……do want to investigate the squeaky steering at slow speeds…..

Exmoor Trim.

Really nice bits of kit. I didn’t want gloss hinges so these ticked the box perfectly.

Can’t comment as to longevity, but fingers crossed.

Need to buy the boot hinges at some point, albeit no rush as the standard ones are wearing remarkably well.

Thanks, really like that they aren't visibly branded and satin black. Same or bigger footprint as original hopefully
