axton2 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Mine is actually a mk7 though I believe mk4's never made it into production as to the differences I won't bore you with the details sorry I'll take the anorak off now. I think I've been reading to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) For the first time in a year I got to spend a day on the ibex. It's currently stored at a friends but at some point I need to bring it home however it will be outside when it gets here. Cue a day spent getting it water tight. So windscreen in though I'm not happy with it I ordered an EÂ marked laminated 6mm screen to my template..... 6 months later I got an E marked 4mm toughened screen so I'm going to fit it for the IVA then change it later. Next I fitted door seals they are the ones from the disco so not quite long enough but will do for now. Finally I fitted the door window frames I've glued them in on sikaflex so there's no fixings hopefully this will make it watertight. Â Not sure when I'm likely get any more done but it's progress all the same. Mike Edited July 16, 2017 by miketomcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveturnbull Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Bet you can't wait to get it home for easy access tinkering. Where did you get the screen from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Very Nice. Pity we can't get them here... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 The screen came via premier autoglaze but he sourced it elsewhere. The problem I had was I have to have the correct E Mark on the glass for the IVA otherwise I could of got it from any glaziers. Arjan are you sure you can't get ibex there as I know foers build trucks for export to just about anywhere. Granted it would probably have to be a new build by foers but not the end of the world just more expensive. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The Ibex used to have a LR VIN No. and a few are around on that. Did a Carnet for one some time ago and that was on a 110 VIN no and looking outside my office it most def. wasn't... These days they have their own VIN and I was talking to them about this a few months ago and as they don't have a French approval they'd either need to be IVA'd here -more than serious money - or a European approval. Also costly. Oh well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Finally it's coming home: The wife is doing a uni coarse so she's on her computer most nights so I pointed out in was bored. After a little persuasion she agreed I could bring it home. Mike PS it's definitely a land rover the weather was appalling today and yes I do have some leaks to sort.

Arjan Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not sure when I 'll be in Emsworth.. The coming weekend I'm doing a good old fashioned UK Raid : 2,100 miles in 71 hrs. with the 3-axle to retrieve a trailer (yes - that one) and some satellite dish domes.. But I have an invitation to come up to Northern Scotland to work some dogs late this year and Emsworth is the obviously a logical place to visit..

miketomcat Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Not much done during the week but manged to squeeze an afternoon today. I've got the bonnet catch, safety and buffers fitted just need to ease the grill panel and sort a release cable. Also got the fan fitted and the washer bottle. Washers need the pump fitting to the bottle, jets fitting and plumbing up. So all in all a good afternoon. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
