It all seems in good Nic to be fair no soft areas and the boot seems solid, couldn’t poke a screwdriver through. And from what I been told this is quite a common area for the stuff.

Sounds like a D1 - about 1990 up to 1998 (ish) ...

Is it a 200TDi or 300TDi or a petrol or even an early TD5, I think a few are about ?

It’s a 300tdi from what the paperwork says it is the one in my profile pic I need to look under bonnet cause apparently there are abs and none abs snorkels so I have to see if there is a module of some discription behind the air box, and my other biggy is the good old ear blank I’ve heard good and bad about blanking off more good though and the kits are cheap and easy enough to do. Any thoughts.
