The roof on my TD5 is steel. I know 'cos there's a magnetic GPS aerial stuck to it :wink:

Most def a steel roof, all of it! What are the differences crossmember wise coz she needs a liberal sprinkling of those. Also has some sort of tank under the drivers side wing and fittings at the back for (I think) air braked trailers. Also a vaccum gauge on the dash. Seems to be that the tank on the wing is connected to the inlet manifold not sure what it's all about. She wont get touched for a good six months at the very least. Got other more pressing issues at the mo' :cry:
