Iv subsequently beaten it a few more times to get it working right. It occasionally pops out of low box but less so now it seems to be bedding in and 1st, 3rd and 5th gear all interfere with the ashtray. I will eventually get around to sorting it out. Quiet day today so I decided to pad out the front seats. After sitting in Alex's new LWB the drivers seat had some extra padding in it which I found very comfortable so I took both my front seats out and padded them with a 2" thick layer of memory foam. Makes a huge difference. I can now see over the steering wheel and my bum doesnt feel like its sinking into the floor.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it! Me Truck
