I think you need to spend some time painting that shed and fence..... Looks like it had more than just a wash ? maybe a flash of polish.. D3 HSE

I recon the wife's shed should be painted by her - I'll pass on your comments!
No polish but some AG rapid detailer used to get rid of the water marks. It will get a polish ahead of winter.
It looks just fine with its winter coat on too:

I have got one of my recently acquired Prospeed rock sliders fitted, they're quite heavy to line up on your own, I ended up using axle stands to support it as I manoeuvred it into place. The hardest part of the job on mine was removing the 8 year old original side steps and brackets, lots of rusty fixings. Hopefully this won't be a problem on your nice new D4. I haven't yet fitted the new bottom door seals as it looks like the lower door trims need to come off to fit the seals properly. Would anyone know if these just clip on and just need a brave and confident pull, as much else of the Discovery's plastic fittings do, or are there some hidden screws that I have not found yet?

I'd give Ben a call as they used to send out fitting instructions that included fitting of the outer door seals.

Ben has e-mailed me the instructions it appears that you can just pull the old seals off the door trims and replace with the new ones without removing the door trims, I am just going out to give it a try.
