Hi All I have a hi top roof and all down the guttering on the driver's side there is tape covering a split in the gutter (presumably a makeshift repair by the previous owner).

Cheers. To be honest I can live without the stereo as I have a Bluetooth speaker that is better quality and holds a 10 hour charge - the main use will be interior lights (currently 2x8 watt fluorescent tubes) and a couple of cigar sockets for charging iPhones etc as well as charging/running any led ...
