sharpy Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi all Could anyone advise me on the size of bolt that holds the earth strap and the oil check pipe/dipstick to the passengers side of the engine please? As I've lost mine. Oh yeah disco 200tdi engine, unsure of the year? On another note has anyone got any pictures or links to defender 110's with black roofs? My situation is that I need to respray my roof, need new door hinges and my rock sliders (colour matched to the body) are going rusty. I can't afford to have the whole truck resprayed or to have the bits done proffesionally and I don't want it to stand out if I tried to match the green bodywork, so I thought easiest/cheapest solution would be to respray all of the above, along with the wheels in gloss black? Opinions welcome Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Some like it, but I think contrasting roofs in black look dreadful - that LR now do it is no indication of good taste! The only contrasting roof colour that looks any good to many is white (including off white if need be). White is also more practical as it keeps the interior cooler in summer and doesn't show water marks after washing. I'd get a can of matched aerosol paint from an autopaints specialist or body shop (most towns have them) for the hinges (think how awful the hinges looked on the Heritage specials) and just paint the sills satin or matt black. Stone chip would be a good idea for them, but be warned it isn't water proof, so you'd need to kill the rust and prime the sills first.
