Then everyone keeps asking me why some of the rivets arent painted behind the rear door. But after a visit to the factory I know now.


Off Topic I've often wondered why too, can you let me know the answer?

You just had the wrong colour D3:

The D3 and the Defender are completely different cars and fullfill completely different purposes, so I have both. Mr. Green

The reason you keep looking back is merely to double check you've not left the new addition to your family in the back!!! Nowt more I reckon....

The rivets have no paint because the panels are painted before they are put together. So they riveted later then not colour. Its a good way to tell if ones had respray.

If you say so I have 3 Land Rovers. A D3 and 2 90's one road legal and a donor.

A D3 is a car like a RR sport etc. But a G4 is a Land Rover. If you like the waves you know what I mean. Mr. Green Roel

I do like your G4. I was very tempted by one a while ago.

Got myself a snorknel this week have to get a rivnut tool now. Got to get it on before billing and get my signs done.

Really thinking about de-cat pipe now after hearing a very sweet sounding 90 hardtop at a show recently.

Mine sounds well sweet with the decat and performs well too Thumbs Up
And a remap is not much better Question If you have £500 to throw away go for it , but to be honest you get a tiny bit more power that's it Question Ask Alive tuning for the decat nice bit of kit grade 304 stainless...

dont you think remaps are worth bothering with. I have been looking at peoples posting on here saying they save about 3-4mpg. So I got my calculator out and and reckon i'd save £800 over the 40000miles I normally keep my landies. BAS has offered to try before you buy with his which sounds tempting. But re-map will have to wait as I need money else where. But decat pipe is cheap
