Got my Sankey this weekend
Popped up to Halifax this weekend and picked up my latest purchase - a wide track WOLF (i.e. disc brakes and fold away jockey wheel) Sankey trailer.

Looks in pretty good nick with only surface rust to attend to.

I also took the opportunity to install my full set of Mantec internal window guards (awesome!) and OEM Load guard (complete pig of an install - very badly designed). Still, I now have a fully secured gear and a new trailer Thumbs Up

Observations:
    I have 235x85x16 tyres, with the spare mounted on a swing away carrier. With the NATO hitch attached to the bulkhead you can only open the hitch with the rear door open (the clasp touches the spare wheel)
    The NATO hitch doesn't mount correctly with the OEM adjustable tow hitch plate. I have mine frigged for the moment but I'll be working on a proper solution ASAP


Issues:
    Bit of surface rust to deal with both in the tub and underneath
    Can't get the brake lights to work (all other electrics work)
    Disc brakes don't appear to do anything (I need to look in more detail at the mechanism - it looks to be jammed)

Nice bit of kit mate Very Happy

Any chance of posting some details/pics of your new load guard and where you got it?
and you obviously photographed a step by step guide of how to fit it so can you post that too Whistle 59 2.4 110 XS Utility

I thought about posting the step by step guide Thumbs Up

Unfortunately it was p*ssing it down with rain all weekend so we spent most of the time with 2 blokes crammed into the back of the 110 armed with various drills and sockets and barely enough room to move, let alone photograph. Neutral

I'll write up a summary of the dos and don'ts. The instructions that came with the load guard are pretty comprehensive.
Mantec, however, didn't even send instructions Banging Head but their guards are fairly self explanatory. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
