Nah - he ballsed mine up completely. I'll never use him again.

Ended up with 5 reverse gears and 1 forward. He then suggested swapping the headlights to the back as it was less work than doing the job properly.

Bugger! Should have posted about this at the time. Biggest problem was the crick in my neck from travelling everywhere in reverse. On the bright side, after a few months, steering my combine harvester seemed a lot easier.

Yeah try 2.5k to do a nice job of it.

The 20vt doesn't go straight in, you need custom mounts, and everything else is a pig to fit and clear.
