debating wether or not to cut hole in roof lining so the roof vent can suck air out of cabin, or leave it extracting air from between roof and roof liner??

ideas guys? :D

yup sure is, sorted my condensation issue so its staying! just need to decide if to stab hole in roof lining or not so it pulls from passenger area or not?

probably will end up doing it and fitting a small speaker grill over hole inside to tidy it up a bit ?

Cheers Ali reckon a 5.25 inch,one or similar diameter would be fine!

Off to the plumbing shop tomo to get me a 10mm compression fitting
Gonna get this Pas sorted once and for all...

Then that fooking rattle coming from under van when warm....

Then pull plates off exhaust manifolds and re bore em...
Had a brainwave that theyre likely restricting The Essex from flowing properly...

That's my excuse for poor runs at weald this year!
