Now I understand what "body off" means!!!! I thought it was code for something. I find it hard to believe that you have to remove the entire body shell to do a repair - quite unbelievable. I assume it is a landrover 3 design problem - or is this the "correct" technique.

Graham, I thought you were planning a shed with a flat up above
Not a 3 storey workshop
I'd guess your roof would need to be 14 to 16ft D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten

In a simplistic way it's 4 bolts, a batch of connectors ...it's not that difficult so I understand 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

10 bolts
farmerboy, they are designed to come apart easily. They go together this way at the factory when they are built. Not a particularly big, or difficult job if you have a 2 post ramp.
