Thanks Tote
Real nice XT . Takes me back .
Re the crappy Jap gearbox - I know exactly what you mean .
I've got a Jap knife/fork/spoon camping set that I bought from Paddy Pallins about 40 years ago , and do you know what ? The plastic packet they came in, is splitting . Bloody Japcrap!
Re the cargo net barrier -
Back to the drawing board eh ?
That's OK . I don't need the towing capacity of the D3 until I get the bigger boat , and that won't be until I retire next year . So no hurry . I'll give it more thought .
I didn't realise getting the spare up and down was so difficult . I was going to buy a petrol engine , convert it to LPG , and fit the LPG tank in the area of the third seat row . I might have to join you and fit a Kaymar wheel carrier .
Although maybe I'll look at redesigning how the wheel is located/accessed .
When my mate and his wife comes back to Sydney from their " grey nomading ", I can see us spending a lot of time under his Disco !!
