Hi dulux likewise if you need any help pm me. Have you managed to get in touch with a club?
Let me know and I if havnt am sure I will get an introduction or log on to the the RSGB site they have a list of Radio clubs in your area.

Just spent most of Sat trying to hard mount a 5/8 2m mobile whip on to the body of my new Pajero.
Man they don't make things simple any more. Didn't know most of the vehicle is double skinned & the whole roof is covered on the inside with a stick messy sounproofing fibre which has to be scraped away to get a good metal ground.
Eventually succeeded after having to unscrew all the plastic boot stuff away & fish the co-ax thru the tops of the window ledges.
Never again!
