Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004300 Tdi Defender Door Hinge Bolts
On the weekend, I decided to try to pump some "Waxoyl" into the bulkhead of the Defender. I wanted to get it down into the channels that the door hinges bolt into, so I thought that by removing the top door hinge bolt, I might gain access for the tube. Well I loosened the bolt, then I heard a tinny crumbling sound and the bolt now spins freely in the hinge, but will not come out. I assume there WAS some sort of chassis clip that the bolt engages into, that has probably rusted and subsequently broke when I applied brute force to it. Has anybody experienced a similar problem, and if so do you have any suggestions on how to proceed. I am not game to undo any of the other bolts in case it happens to them as well, and my doors sag!

Unfortunately the clip rusts and either comes unclipped or allows the nut to rotate. Once this happens an option is to drill out the the screw but remember you will still need to get the other screw to release the hinge out in order to replace the captive nut. Regards getting Waxoyl in there: If you use a long thinnish probe on your sprayer it is possibe to thread it up into the bulkhead via the bottom of the pillar above the chassis bulkhead outrigger. At least this will save you disturbing the hinge bolts on the other side! Steve.

Suffolk. remove 'knujon' to e-mail I have a second row door with one of the hinge bolts effectively screwed into nothingness at the bottom. There was not a lot left of my bulkhead where the front door hinges were recently, the only solution was welding repair patches to the bulkhead in the end.

It seems that some V6's fire in 1-2-3-4-5-6 order according to info I found. Signaturesimon at sbarr dot demon dot co dot uk Simon Barr.

Yes, it is in the XR4x4, and the latter is sitting in the front drive looking reproachfully at me every time I drive in the gate. |
