Well looks like I will be getting them done tomorrow, the team leader who is painting them has lost two members of his team, So he has had that on his plate, so he is going to give them a painting when he can.
Also problem, my driver side door was starting to stick shut, even though it was unlocked. So a quick spray with WD40 and we are away, my dad ran some grease spray down too to help. So all is good now, mad isn't it a 10 mins with a can of WD40 and your laughing! I was gearing up on whipping the door card off!

Easy fix then
 ... I've had trouble with the door locks and the cold.. wouldn't let me in the drivers side.. and the pedal lock was up so I couldn't get it down.. some messing about for 10 minutes and I managed to get the door open.. made me nervous of putting the pedal lock on after that... then I had the doors locking and unlocking lots of times.. I think some water got in when I washed it...  cheap central locking kits.. Bah!.....
Glad you are getting your parts painted soon... 1993 200Tdi Defender 90 |

That's one feature I don't miss and that's central locking, too many electrical features and it turns into a night mare when things start to go wrong.
My 306 is known to have dodgy door looms due to the design flaw in the loom. They snap after a few years, due to them been too short, it was sorted in the last generation ( the one I have now)  Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

got my items back, shame I am not 100%. My dads gave the full family a nasty chesty cough. So I haven't got my 8 balls sadly.
I am toying with the idea of buying a replacement steering wheel, just to start and tidy the interior up. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back In the words of my Good Friend, Gary Forrest 1980 -2025 " we will work something out" |

forgot to mention, the exhaust looks like its ready to die, even the replacement decat pipe looks like its been on the car for 10 years! and I recon that will die before the years out too!
So once the wheels are sorted out, looks like that's going to have to be the next move, for the mot! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back In the words of my Good Friend, Gary Forrest 1980 -2025 " we will work something out" |

If replacing the exhast I would go for a griffin performance one. That's what I'm going to get later in the year
They're lovely systems, fully stainless and have a lifetime guarantee. And you can have as many or as few silencers in as you want  2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

What a
 of all ! I have bought a nice TD5 wheel to replace mine, which has seen better days. Seller stated its a 48 spline, which I thought Xmas came early, turns out its a 36 spline So looks like I could be either stuck with it unless the seller lets me send it back and get a refund, so hold on with me, as I may have a nice upgrade for some one with a early 200 TDi Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

If it's a genuine leather 36 spline one they usually go for a lot more money than the 48 spline so you might make money off it
