kaney Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 naturally, being new to the forum, im not sure if this is in the right place. but hi to all anyway. im 16 and have got my first landrover. its an x reg station wagon defender 90. im looking to replace all the trim inside, you know all the bits on the doors, around the windows in the back and the rear door etc, also the dashboard if possible. ideally all the parts would need to be new. the problem is i cannot find anywhere to get these parts.and now iv caught the land rover bug i cant stop. all advice and information is greatly welcomed. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 is the interior trim that bad to need complete replacement, it's fairly hard wearing stuff & not cheap to replace, salvage companies like Equicar & Craddocks salvage would be a good place to start. Welcome to LR4x4.com Please read the pinned info at the top of this forums thread listing, it will help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Have a word with Exmoor Trim. http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Welcome kaney Have a look at La-Salle Trim Not cheap by any means. I don't know how their prices would compare with either new or s/h but they should last betteer than the Land Rover stuff. http://freespace.virgin.net/lasalle.trim/ HTH mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I've just looked at your profile. You haven't listed where you live. Although at your age I think your wise. However I can't point you in the direction of Land Rover breakers where I live. Second hand dash bits are the way to go. Can you get to a show or two this year. You oftewn find those bits there. If not I'll look up two places near to me and let you have a contact. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siearl Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 THere are companies that can happily fill the holes in hide then and make it all look like new, might be a little bit cheaper than, replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Don't forget to try Craddocks. I know they break Landrovers as I just brought a new dash top for my 90 from them. HTH Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dashboard in VGC going spare, and I'm not that far from you (often travel upto Long Eaton if that's closer), and I can usually get hold of other bits including door trims, head linings etc etc. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
