I do like the look of the Mantec baskets and shelf - as in the pic above in - will investigate those further when I've got the roll cage sorted. ... |

Well, today we started mine up for the first time in a month - the Td5 took a few turns but then roared into life! 
Also, got some oil into the autobox, got it bled a bit then I reversed out a ... |
