Mikey ended up doing the floor plus the front inner wings.

As I said Chris, the rear roof is probably just got a broken drain pipe. I have a good spare in my garage.

Its on the list after VX Billing, when I actually have a spare moment.

Can you fit them on a Disco? Is it hydraulic or mechanical.

Power take off. So the power is taken from the engine normally off the gearbox.

Similar thing to tractor machinery. Driven off the back.

Does anybody know what thread the nuts are that bolt the gearbox to the 300?

Can anyone lend me their 200TDi disco for an hour or two to take the headlights off to take measuremnts of the lightboxes? If your over sudbury tomorrow afternoon even better LOL

Why don't you stick with the better 300td lights?

Might be better in youre opinion but not mine

As soon as you drive it though water they fall out though. 200's are better

not if you add a cable tie aswell as the spring

Those push in ball and socket things wear but are cheap to replace.

Bit of a trek I know but I'd love to go laning in Scotland. Went up to Ayeshire in the lorry yesterday and then along to Edinburgh today and the mountains looked amazing.
Also the drive down the coast along the A1 was pretty impressive.
Bet further north is even more spectacular.

I drove down from wick in the 90's on a business trip and I still remember it.

It's a long drive, we flew up and hired a car to get us back to Edinburgh so not so bad then.

I've thought about taking a driving holiday up there one summer for years.

Id imagine that distance in an off road spec truck would be laborious!

I've done Edinburgh as well, bloody long way. I've done Aviemore as well which was alright but the best drive is from Glasgow to Fort William, bloody awesome.
We did it in the winter as well which is the best time of the year in my opinion. You drive along the side of loch lomond & then into the mountains. Thanks god it wasn't snowing at the time but it had been.
