T1G UP - Can I ask, on your Td5 did it bring the wheel closer into your chest or the same distance as the standard wheel?

I don't like my wheel (standard) but don't want a new wheel to be closer to me as I'm already cramped as it is.

Thanks Nick

Very thorough pressure wash (snow foam), polish, vacuum, interior clean, etc then driving it to the dealer tomorrow for the last time.

Slightly Big Cry but mostly phew! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

And it's gone! Sold to Roger Young, got the train home. They are the biggest Defender dealer in the WORLD!! Shocked

Seriously impressed - will try and buy rather than sell from them next time! Laughing

Money straight into bank too Thumbs Up Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Well, that's more money spent!

Dave ordered my external expedition cage today from P&P. Got some extra bits for additional rigidity including additional roof cross and side diagonals and internal hoop and detachable cross. Also ordered their fancy snorkel and having it all powder coated in silver (same colour Dave's red 100" as above), which I think will look fab against the oslo blue metallic and galv chassis, bumber and rock sliders. Cool Cool

Consequently bit more money that originally budgeted for, but isn't it always! Sad Anyway, as a health and safety leader at work, mantra is - can't put a price on safety and going home safe and well at the end of the day! Smile

Should be delivered 4-6 weeks. Will post pics when it is all fitted.
