Took delivery of my 2.5 diesel 4WD full side conversion this July, it was also imported by JAL. (I chose the model in transit via photographs). I asked for additional 12volt (cigar type) socket to run off the leisure battery, fitted next to the ZIG CF9 unit, definitely worthwhile fitting one or pref...

I couldn't sell them as I don't have the rails. PM me if you are interested Dave Gratefully received,...

Thanks for all the advice and kind offer

Dave I have pm'd you

Still raining here and I've managed to clock up 1,400 miles in the bongo in 4 weeks without really going anywhere

I Have just noticed a curtain rail which wraps around the front windows. Is there anywhere I can obtain Mazda curtains for this?
