I cannot tell how useful these videos are, you make it look easy, I suppose it is when you've done it a few times already but when you haven't... nightmare. Thank you.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

You're welcome mate. Thanks

[@juncakarina7690]

@@RoamingTheOutback yes thank you sooooo much :) husband died last year left me his landi and now i'm gunna have to do the simple things myself. my windscreen return is bust got new part but i found your video on it :)

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Great stuff.. I wish they would do something like this on an 80 series landcruiser.. I love watching your videos and adventures.

[@christopherbristow1869]

Thanks mate - helped me out today when I removed my dash. I have a 97 Defender 110 300tdi. The main difference for me was that there weren't screws on the gray plastic covering back of the tray area. They looked like smaller versions of the push in clips, but I couldn't shift them. Brute force in the end and they broke off! I need to completely remove my black under dash unit - you left it loose because you wanted to access just the wiring looms. I'm fixing some rust on the bulkhead so want a clean access and the only thing still connected is the heater control (left of steering wheel on RHD - hot/cold and vent up/down).

Great step by step video. Thank you for posting it!

[@pwatom22]

Helpful video. Thanks very much!

[@findeverybeach1873]

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed to help me with removing my dash. Appreciate it. T

[@offingtheroad2246]

Thank you, I really appreciate your videos… Tomorrow I will remove my 110s dash to make some maintenance of not the wiring but the mechanisms which open and close front air intake flaps… Hope you are doing well and make some new videos… Cheers…

[@michaelhands1240]

Thanks mate, just what I needed to know.

Good video on defender dash removal, thanks.

[@jofher007]

Thank You very much for this great video.

[@jonnymanselltravels]

Awesome videos! Great work and thanks for sharing your advice, helps a lot.

[@rsdave84]

great video, going to pull my dash out today to sort the wiring as it's so bad I've had to small melt downs. thanks

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks David. Just remember safety first and disconnect the batteries. Have fun.

[@tomvarcoe3100]

Good guide 👏

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks!

[@garywinkworth3380]

hey brett hows it all going? man your pretty clueiy love the dash upgrade.that land rover looks really good

[@def-1828]

Did the same for mine 3 months ago...a lot of screws everywhere !!! The car is back for painting but I feel really lazy to get everything back in place !!!

[@mjallenuk]

Go on... lets see it go back as easily :-P

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Nearly all back together.. fairly easy... just need patience. :-)

[@joeisgood149]

Hey at 4:25 was there more to removing the black plastic tray that exposes the final bolts tor the dash to drop? Mine won't come out. Great vid !!!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

don't believe so.. Are you sure there's no wires across it... and no sign of glue around the edges? May need to force it or wedge it up??

[@joeisgood149]

@@RoamingTheOutback Thanks for the reply. I finally got it out with lots of wriggling.

[@Nick-xc4fy]

I've actually been thinking about taking my whole dashboard off my defender 90 and going back to a bare dashboard like the series land rovers. Can't stand the plastic and it would make fixing the bulkhead and finding leaks much easier. Have you ever thought about doing this?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

No Nick. I'm quite happy with the standard dash. It works well for my needs with the centre raptor dash mod.

[@Nick-xc4fy]

@@RoamingTheOutback Fair enough. I have a raptor center dashboard like yours but haven't got around to fitting it yet. I'm thinking of taking all the plastics off the dash, and modifying the raptor units to fit to the bulkhead. The images and videos on your website are really useful! Cheers

[@colinetheridge6063]

Thanks for your very good and informative lesson on how to remove the dash, I have been trying for a few weeks to find out where the bolts are and have asked lot of others who say they know , only to find they have got just as far as me. I will have the bottom of the dash off tomorrow and can look forward to starting my rebuild in a couple of week. Thanks again.

[@gerrymulroy2545]

What I really need to know is how to replace the grey vented panel ! It came out with a bit of wiggling but for the life of me I can't get it back in . Any advice would be appreciated , thanks .

[@RoamingTheOutback]

From memory very difficult. Requires perseverance.

[@nikad19]

Did you find the wiper problem

[@RoamingTheOutback]

No sign of any faulty wires which was weird. I originally dislodged the short by pulling wires back and forth... Have a new wiper switch to replace just in case.

[@komunakomunalska1664]

does the dynamat makes a difference in noise ?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

It helped a little when put on the firewall, but the most deadening came from the rest of the body. Road noise and stones hitting underneath were greatly diminished.

[@elrey8876]

Rather you than me mate!

[@RoamingTheOutback]

haha.. Yes it can be intimidating at times.. though much more easy than a modern cars dash to remove.

[@polloloci21]

Wow - that’s a lot of wiring for a car with almost no amenities
