Well, nearly, I won it but don't have it yet!

I'll dust off me socket set!

Anyone fancy doing me a MOT around the Yorkshire area?

Best way of getting the running boards, the bull bar & the rear lamp protectors off????

nice one.

bull bar is on the bumper mounting bolts, normally. lie under front of
vehicle, apply spanners to bolts, skin knuckles, get bolts undone, pull
bolts one at a time, with much wiggling of bullbar and cursing, bull bar
falls on top of you, curse some more, then put the bumper back on...

running boards vary depending on whether they're genuine ones or not.

and I'd leave the lamp guards on, meself.

hehehe - that easy then! I'll get some chain mail gloves for the job!

Unless, anyone wants some runningboards & a very tidy bullbar for nowt & lives near the M1 & could help
me take them off on the journey home!

You can get some front lamp guards to match too, without de-spleening any kids in a slight road/school
altercation.

Lucky for me I live near Thornton 4x4 breakers & Simmonites (the teefs) for owt I need!

Rover Coupe should help afford better visibility of the nuts on the running
boards.... trust me :-(

Actually fitting the boards to ours was an absoloute PITA as the supposed
captive bolt wasn't anymore and very little room to get mole grips on the
other side.

1 hour job turned into a frosty evening session.

Fitted as Mrs D is vertically challenged and was also at the time with
child.

I just don't like the look of them, but I can see the reason for 'em!

Bullbars are just dangerous in my opinion.
