Dashboard repair pics - here are some of mine

Thought I'd post a few pictures of the dashboard fix on my Disco. It was done by Matt4x4 near Reading, and he did a great job. The parts only cost £38, and Matt only charged an hours labour.

My 300tdi never suffered from dashboard disease, but I did wonder what the repair looked like for those affected. This is the first I've seen so thanks for sharing.

what i want to know is how the done it - I got one of those kits, and struggling to get the screws in - theres not much room.
Bags of room if you take windscreen out - last resort type thing.

i bought a flexi driver - it bust on the first use, but what do expect when you get it from a "Pound Shop".

Would a ratchet set not work, with the correct size bit?

I'm going to see if the screws on my repair tighten up, as the dash does 'creak' a little when off the motorway!

I suggest that when you do attempt yours again, that you apply a bit of vaseline under the repair strip and around any areas that might 'rub' on the dash itself. That way, you should lessen the possibility of annoying noises. Although there are a number of other such noises emanating from my Disco, I am trying to eliminate them one by one.

I have to get a friend of mine to drive the car up the motorway at 80mph this weekend, as I have an annoying vibration noise coming from my passenger seat, which only appears at 80mph! :rolleyes: I'll be hangin around the back of the seat ready to apply my sense of hearing direction and pinpoint the cause of the offending noise. I know its the seat, because when I'm driving and the noise appears, I just have to push the back of the passenger seat upright a tiny bit (barely touch it, really) and the noise disappears. :confused:
