So that is where some of the draughts might be coming from on mine. When it falls below -6C I get some cold air coming through from somewhere.
Should be good when finished. Bon courage as they say here in France.

Dads just put a 300tdi disco axle on his 1984 90 CSW, Stops like hell now :D
 
Truck started squealing and clunking (LOTS) on way home yesterday. Slid underneath this morning to check stuff. Rear axle UJ - tight, xfr box - tight, Front axle UJ -tight, xfr box - I really, really don't think it should bang and rattle like that!... Ordered new UJs for front propshaft, replacing one may as well replace them both. Something to do next week, assuming the bits arrive.
