sticky tape removal
Hi,
Does anybody have any ideas of how to remove sticky tape from the boot area.I just have removed my standard rear reg plate for a non square one, but I've loads of sticky tabs to remove and it's taking ages is there anything from Halfords that i can spray on etc.Any hints will be gratefully taken.Javed

Have a look for "label remover" at electrical parts shops (got mine from that national chain of them, the name of which escapes me) which is very good.Discovery 3 TDV6 5-Seat

Car Body Tar remover.. Just used some to shift a gooey label off a new fridge..............Somewhere in-between my old D3 and what's to come next .........
What shape plate have you now fitted?
When I changed the rear plate on mine, I noticed that there were two blanked off holes in the rear door for screwing plates on, which would be exposed if you fitted a short single line plate (ie. for 5 digits or less).Discovery 3 TDV6 5-Seat
