Hmm. Does make it more attractive in that case, although the sky+ adds another tenner a month to the subscription IIRC?
Never used a Sky+ box so not sure how "defective by design" they are. I'm sure it'd be fine for general time shifting, etc.

You don't need to pay for the box anyway unless you refuse to sign the interactive discount license which requires you to connect it to the phone line so they can snoop for the first year. (I didn't pay for mine, and then my phone extension kept "going faulty!". Fancy that. 
)
I think I paid a small fee for some gibbon to come and install the dish. 50 quid or so, so the savings are minimal compared to the subscription you'll pay over the first year.
Oh, and they make sure all the decent channels are split across the packages amongst thousands of channels of sh!te so you need to subscribe to a load of packages to get a couple of the good channels.

There's going to be one busy man who's signature decides it. Agencies can chase all they like but they'll be told "he was good but it's not my decision". I wouldn't lose heart over it. Still sounds like you're in there but if it doesn't work out don't dwell on it. To get this far so soon after starting to look shows you've got what it takes

Sounds like everyone's mad keen to get you on board but the guy at the top hasn't pulled his finger out and they don't want you to go somewhere else.
You'll be OK I'm sure.

Is there anything on that tank to identify it, James? Manufacturer name and part no? Just wanted to know its' dimensions.

My towbar is a removable one so it's got the metalwork on the boot floor. Looking at it, I doubt it would get in the way, though.
Can you remember where your mounting holes were relative to the crossmember behind the diff, james?

Actually... Did you happen to notice where the tank ends up relative to the pre-marked holes for the towbar?
Just wondering if the towbar is going to scupper my plans?

Excellent progress
That tank looks like it allows some clearance to put long objects in the boot with the seats folded down too. Won't be shifting any pianos, obviously, but for the odd length of pipe / wood from the DIY shop it looks OK.

I don't think the 440 includes the regular service..
Are these main dealer prices?
I think you're probably right
Sounds like we need a cambelt party again sometime.
Whereabouts are you located, garbage456?
