Hi, sorry for the late reply. Here is how I mounted the rack to the roof, I won't use the sandwiching pieces next time. I ran the wiring for the lights down the passenger side of the windscreen using duct tape to hold it in place. Next time (or when I re-wire mine) I will run the wires...

LRE TREC day As promised, here are a few pics of the Land Rover Experience TREC day. It is a very well run guided tour,mostly on the private Clinton estates. My dad and I were driving the only non-LR vehicles. The guides were driving discovery 4's and a 90. There was a good mix of old and new...

Boot storage Evening all, I've recently built a simple under boot floor storage area I thought I'd share. Since the spare wheel is now on the roof full time I thought I should make better use of the area under the floor. It only took a few hours to make using various ply offcuts, so in my...

Thanks, I have the manual, I find it has to be driven within its limits ( carry a little more speed to keep rpm) and seems to perform rather well. The diesel only came with a manual. I was aware of the OME lift for them, it is something I am considering for the future, along with the pedders...

Unfortunately its not a Knolly, they look really nice. The frame is a 2005 Giant reign with a lot of nice parts on

One of the main reasons I bought the x trail was because of its weight, at only 1500KG I can get away with towing our caravan without the need for an additional licence (i'm only 23). Thanks for the suggestion about the storage, I do like the idea of draws buy I still need access to the spare...

Had a great day greenlaning on and around Dartmoor yesterday, There were only the two cars, the x trail and a totally standard Mitsubishi shogun pinn, on road tyres! The pinn had some trouble on the second lane negotiating a very slippy climb, thankfully the x trail could pull him out! We then...

Afternoon everyone! I've decided this would be a good place for a progress thread for my x trail, so here goes... I needed a good car to tow our caravan and various cars around the country, I also wanted something that could hold its own greenlaning. I figured the x trail fitted the bill...
