Thanks guys, as said I going to have to get dirty, any ideas how it take the knob off (this is all sounding rather rude...), tried twisting it, bit of side to side movement, but no give, is it like the girlfriend's saab, once it's on it's on for life and I ended up useing a hack saw to cut it off

Land rover manual gearknobs are all screw on but many can be bastard tight, just keep twisting and she'll come, so to speak.
