sighnbox Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Right guys I have a good quote to spray my inner wings have my silicone pipes on the way .....Can some one tell me the procedure to remover the wings as a whole on both sides ??? (1990 was a TD now fitted with a Defender 200tdi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Something like this: Undo bonnet stay and lift bonnet clear undo slam panel bolts undo front bolts to chassis around the area of the bottom. Take the arches off so you can get between the inner and outer wings. Then need to get between the two for the row of bolts up the front edge of the bulkhead. Undo the bolt or two on each side that hold the top of the wing to the bulkhead. Undo the 2 screws (two at the back) on each inner wing. Wiring.... can't remember where the connectors are off the top of my head. The above is also ignoring stuff like the PAS bottle etc which is attached to the wings.

landroversforever Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 That was off the top of my head, so apologies if I've missed anything!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 In addition to above... Remove grill, two bolts inside at top of either side also one bolt further down. Top radiator brackets are bolted onto wings too. Inner wing will have two large self tappers onto bulkhead bracket, and stay from bulkhead footwell onto lower inner lip of wing. Wiring loom is clipped onto the inner wing and is accessible after removing the rubber arches (plastic expanding rivets), it will be bullet connectors so unplug the loom as necessary including the side repeaters. The air inlet duct from the outer wing into the engine bay restricts access a bit to the bulkhead to wing bolts, undo the screws and try to split at the joint if possible, this will allow you to move it about to get it the bolts. After that you need to try and lift them up and over the turrets...ok on standard but a bit tight with heavy duty ones fitted. Getting them off is easy, refitting without scratching the nice new paint is the hard bit! The pic shows all the holes where it's bolted, and you'll see the slots at the bulkhead end for the 4 bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Quite a few bits I missed.... But to be fair we're missing on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 They look nice !! What holds the inner to the outer ? Is it possible to leave the inner in place and just remove the outer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You can see along the top where the inner is bolted through the outer and upper skins there are 4 bolts...or hex screws and spire nuts depending on what they had lying about when it was built! You could remove the top/front and side to leave the inner wings but not the other way around...it's all got to come off. This is the bare inner, I forgot there's also a bolt through the bulkhead bracket above the chassis rail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just a few bolts secure inner to chassis/outer panel, most pre 300tdi inner arches are galvanised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thank you. My early td5 inners are galvanised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sighnbox Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yes mine are galvanized as well and still in good nick just want them painting really just to tidy it up under there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's looking fantastic. If I get my car back from the insurers I'm going to need 2 new wings. I looked at these yesterday : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400746534074 I'm surprised at how dear wings are - £100 seems to buy an outer complete with dents.

Scotts90 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My wings are all new apart from the inners. The sides were £66 each plus delivery from SPLandrovers, the top/front (which LR refer to as a fender assembly were new from Landrover at £180 per side. Finding good relatively dent free wings on eBay was nigh on impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheely Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 great stuff @Scotts90 for this, will be very useful also for me soon! What's the benefit of painting the interior of the engine bay? Is it for rust prevention ? I am about to respray my Landy (no accident, just cosmetic) and I am wondering whether I should also do the bay whilst the car it' at the workshop - any input is appreciated!

benjwom23 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) I painted mine in Orange mainly from a 'where is that oil coming from?' perspective. Has the added advantage of rustproofing and looking pretty though. Edited May 25, 2018 by benjwom23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjwom23 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 What is the little pneumatic coupling mounted to the bulkhead directly behind the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjwom23 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 That makes sense, I have mine going into various 'T's. This seems much neater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 For info, the later plastic inners are so much lighter than the galved ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
