Thread: lifting dash repair

Begs the question, how many are left? haha

Just happened to stumble upon this post. For you who want to know, I did mine some years ago, becoming annoyed withthe peeling dash and wanting to avoid progress. The repair kit being rather expensive (for some screws and plastic parts) I opted for a home made solution. I took some strips of stainless steel band, tried to shape and contour them accordingly and fastened them using self-tapping screws.


The cosmetic result was a bit disappointing I have to admit, but most of it was due to my own neglect. At least the peeling did not proceed. I should have

• shaped the parts more accurately
• painted the parts beforehand
• done the job whilst the windshield was out

Doing the job whilst the windshield is in place is a pain in the back, to say the least, and the result will never be completely satisfactory. I had the advantage of getting a new windshield some years later and hence could correct some issues, but I think if you do it, do it right from the start.

I still have a replacement dash from a donor vehicle laying in my garage for fitment when I get round to it.

Cheers

I took Scouse's advice and bought a brand new Dash from the dealer in WA[SouthernLandrover.Cannington]for $132.00,a bargain!
Part number for the beige one is RO-STC1287SUCK.

When did you purchase that?

Spec,bought the dash end of last month.Contact Dave Cherrie at Southern on 92319722....will have it for you the next day!

Land Rover have 11 beige & 10 grey left.
All non-SRS.

STC1287LOYK is the grey dash.


Just check the price with your dealer first - the list price seems to have shot up to around $500. There was a problem with the LR Parts system earlier this week so hopefully that's the reason.

And that's for a Discovery 1? Or is the part interchangeable between Discovery's 1 & 2?
