Thanks, itguy is now the proud owner so hopefully he’ll keep us updated, I know he’s already added some bits so she’s gone to a good home.
Now to go through the process again but with some different/extra mods I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Thought I’d go for a CarPlay update, RLD sump guard, not sure if I’ll go for a lightbar or separate spots, heated steering wheel (arrives tomorrow) and probably another ladder for the back and some sliders... and next week
Forgot.. I have the cameras to fit, and cables for the phone, have dropped in the new coin tray, and will work out the timed climateI want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Fitted and working thanks Rog I thought I'd start buying the D4 in small pieces first...
Feels great to have the new one outside, all I need now is for lockdown to be lifted so I can take her out on a decent drive although it was funny driving to the local shop yesterday and watching an old BMW trying to cope and spinning it round at every junction (if only he'd meant to do that )I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I’ve already got a load of bits that i’ve not fitted yet but hopefully I will get around to them all before she has to be sold, although only had her a little over two years now and had the D3 over 10yrs so got plenty of time left in theory
Im sure we will be exchanging parts at some point again.
Enjoy yours pal when you can anyway D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo

Nice D4, I've recently acquired almost the same! MY2016 Landmark?
Looks so much better on the black rims rather than the silver ones on mine!
Enjoy

Thanks Gary, will drop you a note offline.
Thanks UK Kiwi, 2015 HSE Lux... wasn't sure about the silver but think that the full Black Pack really sets it off, and it's got all the toys I wanted (other than a heated wheel which I'm hoping to fit today )
We have the snow but I can't go anywhere surely taking your new D4 out for a play in the snow is an essential journey ? I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
