simonpelly Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Morning Folks, Was about to create a post asking for some help with water ingress from roof gutters and bulkhead on my Defender 110. Then after not too much searching, it appears to be a feature!! One to look at, ironically, when it's not so wet and cold. Simon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedx Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes it's a feature! Have a search for Land Rover's official "Defender Water Ingress" manual. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Anyone know what's the self levelling sealer might be that I've seen used in the guttering ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Heard good stuff about Capt Tolleys. Also look for Sikaflex. Its used to seal boats. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sikaflex was the stuff we used when I worked for a Land Rover dealer, can't remember the grade though. Nothing will work for long though if the gaps aren't clean and dry before sealing. With the amount of flex and expansion present in the body anything you do will only delay the inevitable return of the wet stuff. Frankly, trying to keep water out of a Land Rover is like painting the Forth bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I thought they'd finally cracked the painting of the Forth Bridge. Maybe there's hope for the Defender yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the body on the puma is vast improvement, acceptable panel fit and doors that fit! That should see it going for at least another...oh hang on, they've stopped making it just as they were starting to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
