so, a couple of pics of 'bodgit and scarper vehicle mods' by myself, especially for DG!
raised air intake, without all the thinking about how not to do it would have only taken 45mins I reckon!
rear lamp guards took a whole 30 mins to fit, so if anyone's having a dealer fit them don't be
fobbed off with any 'they take 3 or 4 hours to fit' nonsense!
notice how I cleaned it first before adding the bits? and theeeeennn......???

that's a kind offer of your tool Stu! however I'm not sure that without the correct training I'd be safe with a large one! I got by though by fiddling it with a nice pair of nuts that seemed to do the job and theeeeennn......???

Lookin good there Malc.
I'm getting my A Frame fitted buckshee by a local bodyshop I know and cant have the snorkel without having a divorce fitted at the same time. I'll have to work out if it's more economical to do all together or stay married without the snorkel.FFRR 2017 4.4SDV8 Autobiography. Cost so much I must be mad!
D4 HSE 2012 Like a second wife, more expensive but goes better! I almost cried this time!
D3 HSE 2006 (Almost 8 years together, true love)
Land Cruiser VX 1994 11 years together, wife cried when I p/ex'd for my D3

Yesterday finally got my Cooper ST's onto my D3 - a slightly traumatic as well as knackering experience (SWMBO has threatened to divorce me if I ask her to help again)
Managed to get the back end into Super Extended Mode with the front in Access Mode
The new jack performed OK for three out of the four corners....
As DG said - it did bury itself in the tarmac (but thats outside next doors house, so thats OK ) - but more worryingly I've managed to bend the frame of the damn thing - its going back to Machine Mart tomorrow for a swap/refund Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
