Expensive & a lot of work replacing parts. Have a look at this using Gtechniq C4 & as I said before this will do all your plastic trim

Thanks Lindab
The only other problem I have is the Scuttle Panel has a whitey coating and is also has like green dried algae on it .Not sure if the GTECH would cover this.

Cheers Jock.

Jock, Here is a video from the Porsche forum (I have one of these also) which shows returning the scuttle panel to black using a heat gun. May be worth a go Suggest you clean the green algae with a nail brush.

The Heat Gun trick doesn't work all it does is cause the plastic to "leech" the colour back to the surface and after a time it will return to it's faded colour again. Have been doing that for years on to trucks just to tart them up a bit for the auctions or tests.

Fifty odd quid, 1/2 hour to fit and forget it for 3 years. Job Done.

Cheers
Col

Cheers for all the replies lads.

Remember, before using something like G4...clean the area first using an APC and then some alcohol if you have some (Stella won`t do) to make sure the restorer adheres correctly  Steve.

Just ordered some Gtechniq C4, £27 for 15ml off Ebay, hope this does the trick 😎

Cheers again for the replies.

If you decide to replace the scuttle remember to buy new trim clips for the A pillar trims.

Also when removing the A pillar trim there are two locating pegs at the top and bottom of the trim, these have a habit of breaking off, not really an issue for the trim but they do leave a hole where water can enter and flood your foot wells. So if your trim is damaged then use some duct tape to cover the hole

I've just painted mine. Fed up of using various restorers to have to do it again a few months later. Used a product called 'Buzzweld Plastic In One' (as recommend3ed elsewhere on this site). Also decided to paint the rear tailgate release button, the front headlamp washers and the rear wiper arm.

Few points that might help:

To remove the scuttle you have to remove wiper arms. Your's may come off easily, mine did not.......tried tapping with hammer etc but then realised I needed a wiper arm puller. Probably worth getting one of these, about £12 or borrow one.

This style was useless, did not fit.....



Get one like this instead.....£11 in MachineMart..



To remove the headlamp washers there's a youtube video by Powerful UK (demo'd on a Disco3 but same setup).....they made it look easy, I had a bit of a faff....

To remove the tailgate release button, again, video from Powerful UK, easy.

A-pillar cover clips. I've read various posts detailing different part numbers etc for the clips required for the A pillar covers......I thought they'd be fine, so took a chance......broke all 6 of the white clips and 2 of the black clips....spoke to Landrover who offered to sell me a pack of 20 plastic clips for over £60!!!! Cheers!! I did some digging on here and found a part number for a complete pack, all the clips you require for both A-Pillar covers, for aboiut £12. These were the correct ones for my 2005 HSE.







The PIO stuff seems to be pretty good. I've hardly ever sprayed anything before, and other than a clean and rough up with some scotchbrite did no other prep, just sprayed srtraight on, about 4 coats. It's very forgiving and no runs. Think it was about £16. I'm pretty pleased with the result, hopefully it lasts.........

After:



My poor photography skills doesn't do the PIO justice, it actually looks really good...

Good job.

Better to read this and buy a wiper-arm puller before starting!
