MINESAPINT Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I am trying to accumulate a list of all the parts needed to refurbish my 110 Td5 Hard Top X reg VIN 1A605575. I went to a Land Rover dealer the other day and he gave me some part numbers for some rear cappings. In a bid to check he had supplied the correct part numbers and to attempt to establish if galvanised versions were available I posted here yesterday and Alan & Western duly obliged, thank you both. Strangely there are similarities between the dealer supplied part numbers and the ones Western supplied but they are not the same. Dealer's numbers: AQL 710020 AQL 710030 Western's numbers: ALQ 710021 ALQ 710031 Any ideas? Obviously when I order the parts I want to ensure they are the correct ones.

paintman Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Without wishing to insult others, if there is doubt order & collect from the dealer using their part numbers. Check on collection. If the parts that arrive are wrong, then they can order the correct ones without the hassle of you having to return stuff elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINESAPINT Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks Paintman, My intention is to order from a main dealer but I am replacing parts on my vehicle that have let me down. I am trying to avoid replacing items on a like for like basis as the new parts will disintegrate just the same as the old ones have done. For example I have established the full length body cappings (rusty on my vehicle) have been upgraded by Land Rover and the new replacement part WILL BE galvanised. Other replacement parts however are like for like replacements already proven as far as I am concerned to be unsatisfactory. It may be that I should order a Series part number providing it will fit and if I can establish it is fit for purpose. Another example is the alloy hinge type things below the windscreen. They seem to be acting like anodes and are just dissapearing to a white powder. I am currently chewing with having some fabricated in Stainless or mild then galvanising them. I just do not see the point in putting some new alloy ones on and waiting for the paint to start blistering although Land Rover are obviously quite happy with this concept! I have already asked at a dealership but find the contributors to this forum are generally more aware than in the dealerships own parts department.

alantd Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 AQL 710021 and 31 are the latest part numbers (nominally for the 2007 onwards). If the dealer orders old stock then it'll be identified as 20 and 30. However, it is the same part so I believe that if the dealer is ordering new then you'll get 21 and 31.

Thanks MINESAPINT Right probably a bit of mistype on my part --- they should start AQL not ALQ AQL710020 & AQL710030 are SUPERSEDED PART NUMBERS now AQL710021 & AQL710031 as for the screen hinges, mine are the 1989 originals & have not started to corrode to white dust, their still in very good condition, maybe it's LR/Fords anti-corrosion paint process thats not as good as it used to be thats causing the problems.

MINESAPINT Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Western, Ref the screen hinge. Is yours actually a hinge or a solid block of alloy? Mine is the latter as clearly there is no need for it to be a hinge. I just described it as a hinge thing because that is what they used to be in this location. The official description is BRACKET WINDSCREEN MUC 7911 & MUC 7912 which incidentally are a different price to each other, weird or what! Maybe instead of buying replacement alloy blocks or having something made up I could fit some original galvanised hinges if they will fit. Do you think this is feasible?

western Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 upto the start of Td5 they are all hinges, mine definitly are. [1989 110CSW] Not sure if mine are steel, suspect they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINESAPINT Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks Western, Mine are item 12 on the drawing and I understand from an independent Land Rover specialist they are a constant source of trouble. I assume from the drawing the hinge, item 4 on the drawing will also fit so will probably replace with these instead. MINESAPINT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yep, direct replacement, Good old LR are great at updating, they re-use the existing bolt holes, so it'll be a easy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
