I'll exclude the X-Eng bits because I'm slightly biassed and think they are all pretty good in their own way.

1) BAS Remap
2) Defender Demisters - didn't think these would work, but they are really good!
3) Genuine Electric Windows
4) MUD Heated Mirrors
5) MSS Cubby box

This is on an 03 Td5 110 Doublecab.

In order to stop passenger complaints:

1) passenger handle from gilmore on the ceiling
2) smart mirror on the sun visor
3) glove box from naka
4) lift cubby box to same height as the door with subwoofer under cubby underbox
5) self made seat rails to allow 2cm more space to the door

Can't give a top 5 I've got so many good ones (from the starting point of mine coming out of Solihull as a basic hardtop 300Tdi 90)

But the easy by a mile No. 1 Spot goes to the Autobox!

Sorry for the typing mistake.

Here we go http://www.gilmore-offroad.com/
look for Zubehör > Innen > Comfort, then scroll down and you will find the handle pretty far down.
German only page from an English guy doing business in Germany. Better to call the famous Douglas Gilmore. Listening as Austrian to his English he is apparently from the island, but hard to get hold of him via email. Once I got to him by phone he was very helpful.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I couldn't find the page. As it's in German and Google didn't seem able to translate, I'm a bit stuck. Any chance of the link to the right page?

Merlin,
Having had a quick look for you, the page doesn't have an individual address.
Got to http://www.gilmore-offroad.com/
Then in the green text (just above the solid green line) click "Zubehör".
Then click the text "Comfort" that appears in the solid green bar.
Then scroll down until you see a picture of a grab handle (its between an interior light and a mesh map pocket).

Its called "Zusatz-Haltegriff bzw. Handgriff Defender" and is 60euros.
Hope this helps Thumbs Up

Thanks Alex, I've found it now. SHMBO is 'thinking' about whether she wants one now!

Thanks again,

Merlin
