Skippy, the offside is a doddle.

The nearside - now that's a B1tch.

Designed to drive you stark staring mad - it's nice to see the design works.

Glad I'm too tall for a TX.

Limits my choice on a new WAV cab though. CC is there anything in the equality Act regarding sizeism that you've noticed. Seems to me the whole world is made to fit the vertically challenged - and that's not fair.

The offside requires a small flat screwdriver a Philips one and a 10 mil spanner
use flat one to remove plastic caps, use Philips to remove screws, just pull off air ducting then use spanner to remove nut at the side of the air box push air box towards engine, remove cover off back of light unclasp bulb and pull out and point bulb in upward direction pull off old one and replace in revers order
near side, remove the cover from a fluid reservoir and then cover off light and remove bulb as described

:shock: I don't condone loading wheelchairs from the rear. Also, when the lid is shut, isn't it a little dark for the punter?

Well whilst a Caterer in the RN, the light in my fridges stayed on - which was a good thing as it allowed me to select only the very best for my own consumption.

But, back to the cars, would I need to sit on the boot to get it shut if the wheelchair passenger was a bit tall?

Back at the ranch - any new dissapointments with the less than superb?

CC - if you have snow, why not get a horse and strap some skis' to the wheels?

No gear box whine.
