Re-glueing R3 door fabric - Quick guide

I recently began re-glueing the drooping door card fabric on my 98 211, and I thought i'd share the process. I realise that this may have been covered before, but I thought i'd just share my method anyway! End result: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51921515309_01c78199f8_h.jpg When you peel off...

Re: Looking for dash clock 8 pin

I think you could always swap the colour strip inside the clock to make the land rover one orange not done this but reckon that would work . I think swapping the colour strip will make the background orange, but the text will still be black like on a calculator. There is a good video online on how ...

Re: Looking for dash clock 8 pin

In case you don't find one, Land Rover Freelanders of the same period that use an R770 or R860 actually use an identical clock display. The display is black on green rather than orange on black, but it still works just the same. More often than not they hold up a little better than the Rover ones too.

Re: R3 Bumper chrome insterts

Well, i got the strips and thought i'd post the process! After removing the bumper and flipping it over (on a sheet of course), it's not hard to push the existing strips out from behind. It doesn't matter too much if you break them, I certainly did! I then cleaned the groove with thinners to ensure ...

A few different Rovers spotted recently...

1) A green 216 R3 on S133 RKL spotted outside Lancaster University this evening, looked in very good condition with only 26,000 miles

2) A red 620 and a 5 door R3 in Poulton-le-Flyde:
