Do these fit the 2024 defender 130? Specifically the second row windows. Thank you!

I'm surprised you're not using anti-theft bolts? Don't thieves unbolt the door hinges.

Surely when you have the ECU remapped you can disable the butterfly ? It would save having to damage the throttle body. I'm about to do this mod.......So sick of EGR faults coming up on my D3 and my wifes Pajero and the life of my engines being shortened just to appease the environment police.

Loving the window tilted down.

Great video lots of neat ideas what I want is the series 2 bonnet and set back grill on my defender 90!!

Been able to fold the windscreen is pretty cool

Yes yes yes!!! Have a wing panel to replace. Definitely will be referring to this. 👍🏾

Sweet

Screen down looks amazing, very 😎 and definitely an option you should keep if possible 👍🏻

I had an old Jeep CJ7 and always folded the windscreen down in the summer. Not only did it look super cool, it was a blast to drive. Hurts like hell though when you take a bug to the face going 60 mph 😂

So you're just reengineering the seatback bars from a 109 station wagon? Wouldn't it be easier to just find the originals?

1986 with glass fuses I would say n/a diesel. :)

Hi Ive just got a Mantic strong arm from you for the rear door on my defender 90 unfortunately ive got some problems the bolts on the top hinge of the door have what look like collars which have been welded on the inside so the door plate will not sit flat and i did not want to drill bigger holes in it. also i have no handles inside so no strong points to fix to, do you have any suggestions Regards Kevin

Did the Sealey sprayer clean up ok when using the 2K paint/Raptor? Good to use on repeat jobs?

what is the diameter? 3 inch?

What wheels are those and what offset, would be great to have a vid about wheel choices and what will fit on older Defender hubs.

I'm not sure that legally you can use those seats as I'm sure it says somewhere in the MOT handbook about if a certain standard is met at time of manufacture you have to maintain that standard, like not fitting seat belts because the seat your putting in is from an earlier model, maybe someone knows more.

Could I call about the VAT Free purchased through the HM VAT Free program for US Service members? Lots I want but have to go through third party vendors.

Maybe you could include more support for the seats in a single loop type roll over protection and include the top mount for the seat belt. Might be a bit spendy though😄

I fitted the mud risers and leather seats from an RX8, very pleased with them. I bought export trim seats originally but they were just too small and I wasn’t overly impressed with them.

I used to have a stage one v8 csw which had the bar behind the seats

TBH, that seat back would last about 5 minutes as it is. A brace is a must have, but, by the time you fiddle around with a brace, you would be better fitting proper defender seats.

"Full Metal Bracket", the unsuccessful sequel to a good movie.

Jeez, that removal is brutality! Better, but more work, is to remove the dash top, which is a hassle but worth it. You can get it all out without destroying anything.

Still dont understand why they dont produce a decent car, well put together, not leaking, not rusting like a bucket. Takes no more effort.

Why cant seats be reupholstered? New seats are never really necessary unless another design is required.

I will have a Series Landy which will have a canvas top. Retirement present to myself. 😊

It’s a shame that this link doesn’t seem to work? I’ve watched the previous ones and enjoyed them 😢

Nice work

No need for the swearing. Keep it clean

Coming along really well and on the real DIY side. I once painted a 90 using aerosol cans, gloss white, cannot remember how much I used but the result was really good. looking forward to see this finished.

Great video - inspired to give this a go! Which rust converter did you use on the seat box covers by the way?

Good video great job thanks Danny

Looks good. Must admit, not keen on the new dash, but will be interested to see the finished result.

Awesome job there. Very impressive the way you show what can be achieved by a self builder. Cheers Rich

You’ve outdone yourself mate, looks amazing so far!

The raptor black - did you use 1K or 2K paint? Great job on the interior

Looks awesome

I really like Raptor when it's used in a subtle way, I already rolled it on the outside of my off road Discovery and plan to use the aerosols next time I paint the interior. Maybe worth grabbing a cheap rivet gun adapter for your drill before your hands seize up!

Hi Fraser, I don’t always get to watch all your videos, so it would be useful if at the start you would give a couple of sentences of into as to what the overall project aim is. I have no idea what your plans are here, so something like “welcome back to the open top beach defender build that we are taking to pendine sands” or “the cheap overlander build that we are taking to the highest Greenlane in the Uk” would really help. Cheers 🍻

What constantly surprises me is that iron, S.Steel items are used on aluminum without the use of rubber/plastic flanges to avoid electrolysis.

I bought the one you demonstrated a few months ago. It is well too forceful. Wife cant close the door and is wary of opening it. Can struts be gas swapped over ?

Im liking the colour

Just remember, stainless steel and aluminium don't play nicely together, so should be isolated by a non conductive tape/washer/mastic etc.

Sparks and a lead acid battery, not recommended!

I am constantly surprised with the amount of enthusiasm you work on these badly designed rust buckets. Hat off !!!😊 Those hinges surely should have had a rubber flange between door and hinge. Poor workmanship/design.

snake oil

Thank you! Still very relevant today with my second hand hood and hood sticks (seem to be genuine Land Rover no less!)

If the drum will not free spin, how do you get the cable off to work on it

love it
