Hi Laura,
It's much easier than on an MG - I remember lying underneath my BGT
and putting my head back into a pool of oil. This is why I have
Triumphs......

Not really, but it's very much a Triumph thing! Maybe it's something to do
with the DB5 having the same tail lights as a TR4 - family connection and
all that stuff! Even the (moncoque) Dolomite has a removeable tunnel to get
at the gearbox, though half of the car has to come first apart to get at it!
Cheers,
Bill.
