It’s not..... it’s Thules latest offering called ‘Discovery 3/4 owners emergency spare parts holder’
In the bottom you can fit a complete short engine, oil pump, water pump, cam belt, IID OBD resetter, in the top pockets you can fit brake light switch, spare bulbs etc...
Apparently they are selling like hotcakes and almost sold out!
Ignore us Lee and go and have a fantastic holiday!

Thanks all, just waiting to get on the train, then stop over tonight ready for the five hour drive tomorrow. The only thing we haven’t got is the kitchen sink.

Good luck. If you are going near Calais give me car a wave. It is sat in a compound on the naughty step. At least I know it can’t be stolen or driven away ! Upside of having no engine !James favourite hobby is writing in the third person.

We’re travelling down the Loire, Chambord. After having nightmares going through Paris before, we only go through it on a Sunday, got straight through. Car drove like a dream.
Mr Kington, sorry to hear about yours, worst nightmare, hope you can get it sorted.
