Range Rover classic
Discussion
I have a decent condition lower tailgate for sale if anyone's interested as I
no longer need it.
The only serious rust is around the number plate light holes but that's pretty
easily fixed.
I would prefer cash on collection for this but if you wish to arrange a courier
its bubble wrapped and in a box ready to go.

Dunk,
Have you replaced the gear selector film - the bit with the letters/numbers on it? That looks almost new and I need to replace mine as its decidedly tatty.
Yes mate, bought a new surround from Land Rover and also changed the bulbs Have you replaced the gear selector film - the bit with the letters/numbers on it? That looks almost new and I need to replace mine as its decidedly tatty.

Apart from putting a few miles on the new engine I've not done a lot to it other
than getting a new windscreen fitted and fixing the drivers door lock which was down
to a tired spring
I used Nationwide to do the screen, Autoglass were ****** useless !!
A big thanks to Phil at Twenty Ten for having it at his place and giving advice to
the screen fitters.
The rear diff has a small leak on the nose seal so he's going to replace that for me while its there
To do the windscreen the bonnet and scuttle/deck panel need to come off if you intend to
use the heated screen plugs, you could cheat and cut the wires but I wasn't having that
as that's just a lazy bodge.
I was very impressed with the condition of the frame that the screen is bonded to, just one small area of surface corrosion on the drivers side bottom corner which was easily dealt with

Great project Dunk. I've got a couple of questions if you don't mind.
The window waist seals, were they replaced with new landrover parts? I've been looking for these for my own classics and the dealers tell me they're out of production.
Did you do any other modernising updates (besides led lights etc) with the strip and rebuild?
Also what rubber did you put around those rims?
My apologies for the very late replyThe window waist seals, were they replaced with new landrover parts? I've been looking for these for my own classics and the dealers tell me they're out of production.

My window waist seals are all original, only a few mods have been done, we made a custom heat shield to fit onto
the exhaust centre box, heat wrapped both cats, the leds in the interior lights and leds in the auto shift light indicators, Wipac crystal headlights with upgraded bulbs, polybushes, galvanized chassis which was then sprayed with 3M body shutz coating
The tyres are Pirelli Scorpions
Been sorting out the heated windscreen after the original got a crack in it
Good luck to anyone with a softdash bonded screen that has to do this, my farce started in August 2016 going down the insurance route.
Info for anyone interested or needs to do it, If you use anyone that's not worked on the classic softdash good luck you'll need it
Autoglass can't get the parts but Nationwides approved fitters could but did a rather poor job hence its now
got to come out and be refiited
You can get a screen from Pilkington glass, £250 + vat + £25 delivery, you can at the moment get the 4 trim pieces from LR, these are Disco 1 parts, you can also get pattern trim parts but beware, the lower trim piece that was fitted to my RR is not well made and is deformed where its been cut to fit round the heated screen connection wires

Finally got a result with my insurance company who have given me a decent size
cheque so that i can get the windscreen removed and refitted properly. A shame
Nationwides fitters couldn't do it right first time round.
I shall get this done a bit later in the year.
On another note i located two OE Clarion head units, one didn't work
at all and the other had an intermittent fault where it would switch off
for no reason, very random, would work fine one day then not the next.
I sent both units to the Clarion service center, very poor comms and a month
after sending them i still haven't got them back, they say they can't fix either
of them so i said send them back on friday 10th, they use next day courier according
to their website but still no sign of them on the 16th !!
Not impressed at all

Thanks for the link, i'd found that place but wrongly chose to send them
to the Clarion service center.
I called them yesterday to find out where my head units are but the person
answering the phone didn't know, not sure why they couldn't just ask someone
who might know then tell me but i guess thats me being a clever dick.
They were going to call me back yesterday but didnt !!!!
Really not impressed now
