Dnk Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Also needed to find some new seat plinth trims which are no longer available for the Range Rover but i found the Discovery 1's are the same and still available, result The drivers side even though its just a mirror image of the passenger side is 3 times the price which really is taking the pee LH £38.11 + vat RH £108.27 + vat Prices on these parts are all over the shop, now found them for £79 + vat for either side Edited June 22, 2018 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 So going round in circles with the seat plinths. One supplier says obsolete and wouldn't fit my Range anyway, another says after i give them my chassis number yep no problem we can get those but are trying to flog me the wrong colour Land Rover said nope discontinued no matter what colour but wouldn't confirm the same part in the RR is in the Disco 1 FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Get yourself a little Massey Ferguson 35 like mine, you can get ANYTHING for it, and no colour choices to add confusion. Did you really think a BL product would give anything but grief? Plus it pulled a Range Rover out stuck in the mud in the field last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Well i've been and taken one out of a Disco 1 and bar how its fixed to the seat base frame they're the same. Land Rover did away with self tapping screws and replaced them with push in trim clips so easy enough to sort out Edited August 30, 2018 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Wrapped the rubbing strips on the Range this morning and very happy with the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I'm putting the RRC up for sale as i'm looking to fire the cash into a new venture Not sure on the price and just looking around now to get a realistic value but i've seen some selling for £35000, low mileage cars but un restored which i've seen can be miss leading as its not the mileage the makes them rot. I think if i can get £30k or upwards i'll be a happy bunny Edited August 21, 2018 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wow, you're selling it Dunk- that's a fantastic bit of kit mate. I clicked on the PH page but didn't see a price. I loved my Classic - best car ever IMO. All the best, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ordering a new top tailgate as i can't fix mine, the heated screen is mullerd, i got lucky a while ago and found a new old stock tailgate seal so that'll go on at the same We will also take the windscreen out and get that fitted correctly after the farce i had through my insurance and their approved fitters. My insurance paid me in the end to cover doing the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Wow Dunk you have really gone all out on this. The attention to detail is something to be proud of but if it were me I’d be scared to take it out it’s hermetically sealed garage Keep the updates coming !

The attention to detail is something to be proud of but if it were me I’d be scared to take it out it’s hermetically sealed garage Keep the updates coming ! Might as well get it right Mike, i hate cutting corners unless i have no choice. a few other parts sorted over the last week, refurbished the dash bezel, tailgate handle and door finger pulls I also appear to have lost a couple of pieces which i'm a tad peed off about, the worst being a spring i can't find, turned the garage over twice now Found 2 parts on ebay that will help fix the tailgate central locking but need the spring in the photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I've found the spring and on its way to me, the tailgate will be getting fitted next week. After that its take the front screen out and fit that properly, got a local guy to do this who has done a few classic Range Rovers for the restoration shop so that should be sorted.

Dnk Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) The screen guy turned up and threw his toys out the pram and said he's not doing it, too much hassle blah blah blah, called another place who said nightmare job and i'll never get the glass out in one piece, total idiot, thankfully found another guy locally who said yup no problem and will be doing it possibly next week. The new top tailgate is on along with a new old stock lower seal, i have a fully working heated screen and central locking system now Edited September 29, 2018 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 A better shot of the back end. Cruise control is sorted, required a new pump and ecu, everything now works Also got very lucky and found some new trims for the bottom of the seats, saves me repairing the originals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
