In good nick, yes. But that said, they're not worth much (i paid £35).

beauty!

Using 88" panels - after months of trawling I bit the bullet. It was easy! The bodyshop even kept the little dings to keep it looking original! Loving my new look :-)

Thanks - the hardboard idea looks good! Could you elaborate / post a pic of the alterations you made to fit the seal? I don't want them to be nicely sprayed up and then go at it with a grinder!

^ did you replace any of the seals too? Or cut down the sean near the second row door? My panels are at the bodyshop being painted, want to ensure i have all the bits before embarking on the swap! Also did you find an interior trip to fit instead of the big piece that surrounds the sliding windows (houses the seatbelt etc)

Mine need some attention soon also, be interested to hear what the garage thinks and quotes for you ;-)

Les, thanks for your time in writing this. I'm pretty much geared up for this on my 300tdi, and plan to: Remove head, send off to be skimmed and pressure tested (do I need to remove any other components for this?) They do this in 4 hours apparently. Existing gasket is 2 hole. Order this: Turner Engineering 300TDI head fitting kit Refit with a 3 hole gasket, although I will check with the engineers what they think would be best considering how much they skim? Adjust valve clearances. Fill and bleed the coolant system. Have I missed anything? Thanks

Cheers. I think i'll Gunk the lot and give it a good clean, then try to trace it. Failing that i'll get Johnson's on the case. Thanks

Thanks all - I will advertise to everyone in exchange for a forum donation, if there are no takers I will scrap them (cant be arsed with trying to remove and dispose of the tyres!) Thanks again.

Lol

Very good! I'm a bit new to all this so wondered if here were any usual gaskets worth looking at first, or just ask the garage down the road to take a look?

Evening Can anyone help me ascertain what may be leaking here? It seems to be dripping from both areas obviously covered in oil. What could the usual culprits be here? Thanks

Thanks - worth ebaying, or more in scrap value?

Cheers Dave, that's what I wanted to hear :-) eBay for them it is then, anyone know a good set of Boosts....? :-)

Morning So my new Defender quite literally came with a set of these in the back; All the tyres are knackered, but the wheels seem in good nick and may come out well with a refurb. I wanted to get a set of Boost's fitted, but i'm almost falling for these. Are they Defender wheels? Would it be worth me selling and getting some boosts? Thanks
