...(after being asked if I was buying them as a present for someone) the guy on the other end of the phone apologised and then started to explain how to fit them!
ound: Send the guy a photo of Dave and tell him, "THIS is what I drive, bitch!" 
PMSL!
....its a bit like being asked if Dave is my husbands landy and am I just borrowing it!
Yes I put the plate on first and I put the bolts in loosely
...they did send the wrong destructions for the rear diff guard but I figured that out before fitting which Neil did (thanks)
Dave is unique so obviously some minor adjustments had to be made so they would fit
I did wear some fetching yellow safety glasses to cut the diff guard btw
As for the whole topping up of anti freeze thing- I don't know what Neil found so amusing about my funnel!

Might? Waddya mean might?
FFS .. I've seen the picture and reckon I know why Neil was laughing ... a funnel that small needs seriously considering ... and probably needs the addition of some girth and depth ..

, better than spilling anti freeze all over the place and it did the job......eventually....mind you it happens a lot outside of lz too . I have to remember not everyone knows who Dave is lol! ound:
I'm all out of discrete mate, all out ...
All good mate, in fact feel great! New perspective on stuff and all that.
Been shafted by the insco though .. the £2k payout has turned into £1100 .. which they still haven't sent yet!
OTOH that just means I'll have a longer play-time sorting it out. Keep doing bits to it, just putting it on blocks to take wheels off and hubs/diffs off today. Gonna take it back to a shell to treat any rust, there isn't much except in the passenger footwell and battery tray mostly, and re-paint it all inside with a rust inhibitor etc. Chassis and all that is good, engine and gearboxes and everything mechanical all seem good, so it's just the wiring and associated 'bits' that willl need most work.
TC has offered to loan me his D2 for christmas, we're booked into a caravan site in Castleton for New year, so now there's no pressure or real rush to get it done quickly, I'd rather it were done properly.
But the other funnel was too big so I had to use the little one
Jeeeeze I cant say anything round ere without it being taken out of context
For eg. me saying I revved the nuts off Dave flying down the M1 might just be misunderstood by some
Yeah well .. stuff happens!
It turns out that the engineer offered £2k, cat c which I accepted, thinking I had £250 excess so expected £1750 overall, and I could keep the Disco .. good deal I thought as opposed to £2k - £250 and get the Disco taken off me!
If I'd realised I could (legally) have stripped the Disco of good parts before they took it away I would have done so, but couldn't get any crap wheels in time to swap which meant my new ones (£540 worth) would have gone too ... too much to lose, so accepted the cat C offer.
It then turned out that Cat C attracts a 26% 'fee' which is deducted from the 2K, then the excess is also deducted, which turned out to be £350 not £250, so in the end I'm getting £1160 .. but the Disco is still mine and eligible to go back on the road after repairs. So with only £1k it ain't worth looking at anything else so we're going to have to do up this one!
Too naive me, not having gone through this sort of thing before ..
No worries, looking forward to it now ..
