Matts Td5 disco daily workhorse. Modifications & maintenance ahoy!

[Magenta Sunset]

Got mine for £350 with a local chap and using my own truck

sounds like a good price. Just for the test with no lessons? My mate had a few lessons before doing his test.

No lessons needed for me

2 q's,
1, how about knocking up a mounting plate for the reg big enough to hide the washer bottle.
2, can you shed more on cb? like a good starter rig to begin with.

2 a's
1, The washer bottle is now too exposed on the front end, if i knock it off roading its gonna be hassle so its better to just relocate it.
2, Certainly! I use a popular & decent Midland 98 unit & mic and a roof mounted 3ft springer aerial. Hasnt got much range on it but it does what i need it too

many thanks
looks small enough to put in the cubby by the gearstick.

Yes i have had several 306's with a mag mount aerial up top and cb mounted either in the cubby hole or screwed to the side of the center console

interesting to know. could be useful to eavesdrop traffic chatter on the way to the coast come holiday time.

I saw on some shop sites your particular rig is discontinued. so what about the '48 or '78?
