United Kingdom 2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red
Steve, I was told this morning when SWMBO saw it that i've added character Laughing
And under no circumstances am I to employ a dent removal business Rolling Eyes

Accidentally resting a suction puller on it though is a different matter Whistle (I hadn't thought of that so thanks for the tip Thumbs Up ) 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW

A dent puller is very unlikely to work on an aluminium panel. Best left alone or professionally repaired.

Threw the welder and grinders in the back of my ragtop then popped over to a mates to do a few little jobs for him as part of his 110SW rebuild. Today we finally dragged the dead chassis out of the way and replaced it with the shiny galv Marsland replacement. Now it starts to get interesting......

Swollen nuts!
Well,
Just replaced all the wheel nuts on Effie our new 110. Out of 20 heel nuts how many could I undo with a 27mm socket? 5!
most of the others needed a 28mm socket and some needed a 29mm one. God Job I didn't need to swap a wheel on a cold wet rainy night somewhere with just a 27 mm socket!
