    SteveG is spot on, every time I've sold a vehicle the #1 thing is as many good clear pictures as possible so people can see exactly what they're buying - even the bad bits, because it shows them exactly how much work they're in for and that you're not hiding stuff.

    It's risk. Remove as many unknowns as possible for a buyer by letting them see what they're getting, and they will feel they are putting their money at less risk.

    It has been hurting me for a number of years and feel very guilty letting it get that far.

    It will sound cheesy but moving it on to someone who can spare the time/cash/energy is the next best thing to doing it yourself. Much worse to let it rot further.

    No point feeling guilty about something you can't change.

    Anyone else want uninvited opinion while I'm at it?

    I have the same issue in my GLE, turns out the back seat does fold flat if you take out the bottom cushion of the rear seat. Maybe something similar can be done in the Grenadier?

    It's a faff though...

    I thought that when Harry lifted them to look at the batteries but I think the seat backs are too long to fit in the void created. I'm sure Jeremy can confirm.

    I find it a bit off that Harry gets two bites at it with two reviews that say largely the same things. It's the same themes that came up in Jonny Smith's review, but said twice more.

    Is that a joke regarding my other thread?😂 

     

    this happened about 4 years ago and I bought some 16x10 -32 modulars…..and 37” treps to go with them😂

    It was a joke... doh, there were enough clues in your post it wasn't a new event. It's been a long day.

    I should admit I have the 4x4 Tyres site open with a set of wheels and tyres in the basket and my cursor hovering over the checkout button.

    You wouldn't happen to be selling a set, would you? Because if so...

    (And yes I know there are loads on EBay, but I'd rather by from folk on here)

    No afraid not, I have a set of Boosts I need to get rid of but I'd refuse to sell them to anyone with early axles at this point....(obviously you're not looking for those).

     

    I just think the One Tons will suit the look/age of yours the best and I like spending other peoples' money.

  6. That heat shield and the mountings are elegant. I had a concern that my slave cylinder and pipe was getting cooked by the manifolds that were even closer than your pipes. I wrapped the cylinder in a malleable shield material and fed the pipe through a heat resistant sleeve designed more for wiring. Your solution is much nicer. I'd copy it if I had facilities.

  7. Don Del - Just a quick thought, unsure of the weather in your part of the world but do you frequently experience Defender Footwell Flooding? If so, that might not all be entirely rain water. I'm guessing you've looked at the outside face of the footwell and there's no obvious trails that side.

    It's just another leakage route that may not be immediately obvious. I mention it because I think my own clutch pedal is getting a weep from the master cylinder and I misidentified it as rain.

  8. I'll bid a joke about a monkey and a cue ball I heard today.

    Is Car and Classic any good for this type of thing? Depends on the urgency, but better to rip the plaster off I expect and auction it.

  9. Strange, seems like that suggests LR just bought them in as complete units?

    Anyway, I got mine out using the closest size of screwdriver that now fits them (definitely not the one they left the factory as!) and as much pressure as I could apply to stop them spinning. 

    I'll just have to be careful to do them back up with the same (wrong) screwdriver as tight as I can. Maybe adding some thread lock for good luck.

    At least this thread served its purpose.
