The Wrestler is about ready for the road again minus the lights and the refitting of the bumper (They’re on order) Brake trouble after a good few hours tinkering led me to the Master Cylinder letting in air on the up stroke, so new one was fitted today and brake pedal now much improved!

Thankyou for all the information. Wasn’t too bad even for a welder of my calibre. In regards to wheels, I’m hoping to keep it all completely original and standard (I think they look better this way) Another question I had was would Boiled Linseed Oil rubbed over the panels protect them enough if I wasn’t to paint? I love the patina of the panels. If not would you recommend anything else?

Thankyou for the information, I’ve replaced both Dumb Irons and also Replaced Both Footwells. Brakes are next on the list. I’ll try a thorough bleed and also make sure they’re adjusted right on the snail cams, am I right to make them bind and then back of 1 or 2 clicks? Regards to steering it has definitely improved since I drove it before the dumb irons and I’ve also removed the damper as I’m not sure if that was causing the issue? Can you run these without a damper? Here is a pic of most recent progress with it mostly back together.

Hello, I’m after some advice regarding mainly the replacement of both footwells in my series. Has anyone done a step by step to cutting out the old ones and fitting the new ones? If so I would find it very helpful. I have bought both repair panels from FamousFour but was unsure where to cut or wether would be better to drill out the old spotwelds? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

Hello. I’m Jamie and from Staffordshire. I’ve had Landrover Defenders for a while in the family now. Had my first 90 when I was 19. I’ve recently bought an Ex Military Series 3 109. It’s not to bad condition wise but will need work. The first things to sort are the footwell panels as they’re rotten. And the brakes are very vague as well as the steering. I’ll be trying to use the forum and see previous posts to help aid me in my research for new parts and how to do it haha. Thankyou
