I don't have a suitable hoist for body removal.

Not directed at you John (or actually anyone here). Was having a crack at the odd repairer that does it for a living and seems to think they are clever vegemites for doing it with body in situ.

I suspect the loud and proud ones, simply arent changing the rear belt...

How long does it take with my list of accessories?

Argh.......
Dunno about the ECB bar, but with the ARB bar I dont remove that, it stays with the chassis, same with the rear bar, stays with the chassis.....

What causes delays are when the accessories (IHMO) are fitted quick and cheap ****, so...
*Aux lighting where the wiring goes through the grill with no removal disconnect plugs.
*Comms coax that again runs through the grill.
*Rear bar that is wired using cheap **** scotch clips and tapped into the wrong side of the rear harness plug.
*When the GOE manual air up kit has been routed again without thought to body design.

Hi Dazza,

I think you have done what every other land rover specialist should have done, and that is the hard yards to get the procedure to do a body off down pat and then reap the rewards.

Unfortunately your posts are about a month a late for me to use your services, I've just had half a job done because body off was a HUGE HUGE job.

Anyways you live and learn.

Apologies to the OP as a little off topic!
Hi Daz,
I am about to get this body off procedure done on my MY14 HSE fitted with ARB Summit bar. I was hoping to leave the bar on, but looking at videos it appeared the headlights need to be removed; however with the summit bar on they can only be moved slightly out, not removed.
In your experience do the headlights have to be removed or is this purely to get to wiring harness connectors to front bar?
