Range Rover Sills

I was under the Rangie the other day repairing the loom to the reversing light / difflock light (it got caught round the propshaft!!) and I saw some mud around the main outriggers where they meet the sills. Whilst digging the mud out I felt what I thought was cloth so I carried on digging around.

The upshot is that I found dusters stuffed into the front ends of the sills to block up a gap at the end of the sills. Are these sills really designed to be open ended or has some fly begger pulled a fast one in the past?

My plan is to give both sills a good clean out, waxoyl them, and seal up the ends to prevent more mud getting in.

As a final question, should a 1983 Range Rover have a handbrake warning light (that works) in the dash?

Handbrake light, as per the previous post. Did it not thread right?

Yes it is the brake light in the dash, I had inadvertandly ripped out the part of the loom that goes to the reversing light and the diff lock light, thankfully I have managed to sort it out.

What I'm curious about is where the sensor is for the handbrake light? I have had a look in the Haynes manual but it only shows a sensor on early vehicles and not a 1983 model. I'm not sure what the gearbox is but it has a bloddy long gearstick and 5 speeds, the difflock is the good old 6 position one beside the handbrake. Is this a LT77 box?
