PieEater3142 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 So the spring behind the drivers side vent fell out when I overstretched the cable when fitting the heater directional controls. DOH! It is part number 346976 (7) on: defender_dash.pdf Is there any way to re-attach this spring without taking the dash off and to bits again? Really don't want to go down this path... Also how is it held on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Somebody else had this job to do a while ago, IIRC the bottom of dash has to come off or at least away from bulkhead to fix it. Found the other previous thread about how to fix Twang! Now how do I fix it? Edited March 19, 2012 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I did manage to do it via the footwell vent hole, but it was a ig of a job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads Toy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I had the same problem and replaced the spring some time ago. Be prepared for quite a bit of dismantling though! http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=69954&hl=&fromsearch=1 is the thread with some pictures. I just couldn't get anywhere near doing it through the footwell - fat broken fingers, not enough patience, neighbours getting upset at the swearing etc. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
