    Diff lock & high low linkage service kit?

    Front grille surround

    It was half fitted to the vehicle when I bought it, the other half was supplied loose in the back, but I live in Scotland and it’s not my daily driver. I would prefer it to just be as standard looking as possible. Plus they seem to be worth a fair bit so May as well sell it and invest it in...

    Speaker fitting issue

    ordered a pair, thanks for that, fortunately there only seems to be a minor amount of rust behind the wiper cover, i was a bit worried at what i would find as when i restored a series III it was totally corroded. i have bought some rust convertor to spray the small rusty patch that's there.
