Someone call? ::) ;D

Depends what you are willing to do... With a slight modification to the shape of the wheel well and building a false floor for the boot (raising it about 3") you can get a 76L GZWM tank in the hole with a Stako Gas tight box :y

I wouldn't say that, but he does know a lot about the subject ;D

Plus he spent time looking into the best tank to fit in his Estate. Might be able to help supply too.

Adjusted my headlight aim....

Errr.....not ideal as there is an assumption in there that can have a big effect.

Only reliable method is the flat area and near far adjustment
