The SWB FWD and LWB RWD drive completely different.
Not sure if this is down to the extra length, extra ride height, or the drive axle

The medium roof is okish to stand up in, you have to watch your head though.
You get more loadspace height in a FWD than a RWD.
Also loading is a lot easier with a FWD because it's lower.

The bonded windows were fitted by a local windscreen guy. All he did was pull the rubbers off the old windows, they lift out, then the new windows are stuck on using a special adhesive. Think it took him about an hour to do both sides inbetween him doing other stuff!

No, just some friendly advice. Had a letter at work from the police saying they are cracking down on them.

Fitted my sign writing:

Then for the mattress for the bed, something I've been meaning to get round to for ages

To get one made up to size was gonna be £££ so I bought a cheap foam one from ikea (£40).

Took the cover off and cut it down to size

Now just have to dig out the sewing machine and make up some covers :| :lol:

Liking the sign writing there sc_BK, now i understand how your bed is working as i did not realise how wide it was going to be when i saw you, and once again a big thank you for helping with the seat of Dan.
