where's it all fixed to ? got the bracket on the door pillar, the big bolt through the floor in the cupboard, anywhere else ? It's reluctant to get loose

All over the place dude. I took mine out of a califoinia big bolt in bottom self tapper behind drivers seat captive bolts in cupboards on left of fridge lots of wires marked with masking tape to where they go. It sounds bad but it was much easer than i was thinking and when i put it all back it all worked.

Yea sounds the same as mine about 10mm gap on side of van and a bit of floor missing. I had mine fixed by a garage cost £250. They did a great job i am really pleased with it. So get it done it will be not as bad as you think.
