Cheers, couldn't just confirm the size next time you are near one with a tape measure, please ?

Any advice on the best place to buy and the right spec to get would be appreciated

Yeah, im sure I can make it fit

Just got to find one now.

Pretty sure I want a 1.6TD, same as my Atlantic, keeps all the spares (well engine wise) the same.

Anyone know of any for sale ?

drop the tailgate and put a couple of chains on it so it sits level. i get sheets of 8x4 and bigger in the back this way.

Try and get one with all the bits done and recipts of work shown for say 5k rather than one for £3750 and spending another 4k on it.

dont get one that is nicely carpeted unless you like dirty carpet

ask around ''The one'' will come and find you then.
