I realise that there are a number of posts relating to headlining repair or replace. The headlining on my 21 yr old disco 1 decided that it was a little tired and started to part company with the roof. My method of repair was to slit a small hole in the material large enough for a drinking straw...

Hi Thinking of upgrading from Disco 1 to a disco 3. Any info on insurance costs. I have full no claims and well over 25 (+ 50 )
