You need to paste in the image link (which must be hosted on another picture site - this minimises the bandwidth needed to run the forum) in between the 2 bracketed identifiers [img.] image link goes here [/img.]. This is easily done by pasting in the link ; highlighting it and then click the picture button from the icon riband above the text box

Notice here that I have addded a full stop after the 'img' to disable its function

I've just reactivated Alan YouTube video which you may find helpful.

There's more than one way to embed photos. I find one drive easiest.

But I'm not sure you can embed a pdf file....think I read that somewhere - you may need to make it into an image first.

Steve at SJ sent me a pdf. It is not an img.

Any suggestions?

You can email it to me - excel @ derrington.co.za (no spaces) and I will convert it and post it for you.

You can’t embed a pdf on here, only images.

If you have a phone or tablet/iPad then just have the document displayed in the screen and take a screenshot - you then have an image file that you can upload to one drive and embed on here.

Thanks for posting that.
Anything that helps stop water ingress has to be a good mod.

I remember my Excel having those holes in the sill trim panels. I can't quite see how that helps reduce water ingress into the car, unless it gets in through the seat belt anchor points.
