Private sale. I knew about the commissioning issues!

I recently purchased this superb defender fresh from rebuild and have inherited one or two troubles with it. I am wondering if anyone can come up with some advice on how to best sort out a panel issue ...

CheersDS - that is perfect.

Cheers Mash!

Are they LR part numbers?
