Thread: 1994 LAND ROVER DEFENDER | BROKEN DASHBOARD UNIT

Had a similar problem with mine. Fixing lugs, plastic extension things that stick out and get screwed down were broken off. I just stuck them back on with Super Glue and a bit of Epoxy reinforcement and CAREFULLY screwed it all back together.

Or try there

Land Rover County/Defender Dash Fascia Panel-Genuine | eBay

As for the speedo, check and see if its not the cable or misaligned where the cable joins the gearbox (very easy to do). My speedo was faulty as well, fortunately a mate swapped me one for a slab.

Defender & S111 Binnacle Mount

Don.

I changed my dash fascia a few months ago not a bad job other than not a lot of room to play with but all done in a couple of hours, just use tape to mark every wire and where it came from simple.

I have the Raptor binnacle repair mount: good piece of kit, and actually exposes how ****-poor the original is and how cheap it would have been to actually engineer a proper solution.

Just been through this process myself. New fascias are available on ebay ($150 from memory...). I also used the Raptor steel mounting setup which is a lot stronger.

I've got Howard Instruments putting together an Electronic speedo / sensor / wiring for me. Been through two cable speedos in a month. Aside from the wavy needle, one was also about 10km/h out

Amazing how many rattles and vibrations renewing the dash structure gets rid of.

After reading this have ordered Raptor binnacle mount

However I bought my dash fascia from a dealer ULR a lot cheaper than the ones on Ebay

Just wanted to say thanks for all of the advice. Apologies for not having posted again sooner but i got sent away on assignment.

I've ended up ordered the BINNACLE MOUNT from RAPTOR ENGINEERING as it looks like the best long term solution.

Checked the SPEEDOMETER again and all the cables, took it out and cleaned it all up and put it back and it looks fine but nothing has changed. If anyone's got any ideas on a replacement part?


Thanks heaps again for all you advice.

Have you tried spraying silicone spray down the cable and take out all the sharp bends in the cable if possible.
Mine has improved after doing this, still a bit jinky. But better.
Where did you get your raptor dash and binnacle from.
Cheers
