western Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Saw this in LRE Aug 2006 issue on page 110 -ShopWindow, & thought you guys/girls would be interested Defender Dash for all 90/110/130 upto 2002, similar to the genuine LR 2002 on Td5 part. just converted the introductory price of 245usd to gbp with www.xe.com works out at 245.00 USD United States Dollars = 133.469 GBP United Kingdom Pounds 1 USD = 0.544771 GBP 1 GBP = 1.83563 USD = exchange rates.

Ajlorton Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Way too expensive for a lump of plastic and a few switches IMO. If you have that kind of money to waste spend on a piece of dash, I'd have thought you'd own a new one with it already fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I agree with the above but it does look nice. Siwhite made one very similar IIRC in Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWhite Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Mine's not quite as pretty - just wait til it gets a set of 52mm guages and a body coloured paint job Edited July 16, 2006 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I thought the price was on par with the genuine LR parts version, the switches are Carling as used by ARB for the compressor/lockers I'm sure the switches on their own aren't cheap, the price doesn't include post/packing from Canada, just thought it looked good & was a viable alternative to the gen LR one. Si yours looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a new 110 is in a far off dream somewhere, most likely never to happen, I like my 200Tdi too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntie Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 245.00 USD United States Dollars = 133.469 GBP United Kingdom Pounds 1 USD = 0.544771 GBP 1 GBP = 1.83563 USD = exchange rates. Don't forget............... Freight cost (post?) Duty, prob 10% on "landed cost of goods", ie cost + freight VAT on everything (yes, a tax on a tax) .........it will probably be at about £185 by the time you get your hands on it.

western Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Probably true, I personally wasn't going to buy one, I thought it would be of interest to all, as a option to the LR one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 perhaps an Orange copy will appear. thanks Ralph for finding it I'd like one at a little less ££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm about to do the 02 dash mod and I'll be doing what Si did with his. Its not that expensive either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Si - when you hardtop yours i expect you will be wanting tp upgrade that dash (its a bit flimsy by the looks of it) so if you bring this old one along to BDB06 i will take it off your hands.......................

Turbocharger Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 The finish on the plastic one looks terrible in the photo - lifted straight from the 1980s. Si's is very smart though, very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 The Mark90 2006 style dash panel Cut from a new old stock 110 CSW rear wing panel that had been to Sodbury many time but never sold. I do like Si's though, that is very nice B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same finish as on the instrument pack end covers, yes from the 80's cos that's when the 90/110's were made, so it should blend in well. The Mark90 2006 style dash panel certainly individual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 The fuel guage reads like that most of the time, although does sometimes work, but even when I've just filled up only shows 3/4 tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marksranson Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hello all. New to this site and wanted to say hi. Not liking the plastic dash thing much prefere the genuine Land Rover Parts One - that was until I saw the great custom ones some of you guys have done. Really given me inspiration. I drive a 1996 90 NAS Replica and have been considering replacing and improving the dash - now I got loads of ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
