Arrr sorry mate... On a positive note, if you do sell the 38' you'll have some funds for the 2AId love to get it fixed, but have too much on.. is inactively for sale as it stands

Dunlop Hill? I just Google it and it looks pretty easy. No idea why you'd get stranded on it.The fan advice is really valuable - the fan can deform in water and damage the radiator causing your rad' to fail - which will happen in the remotest, least accessible lane possible leaving you stranded in a queue of cars none of which can get past you and leaving you reliant on the one in front for a tow out. Especially in Wales - Dunlop Hill is a good one to get stranded on!
Sorry to crash and point me to where this may have been already covered - what about L322? Any wading engine and diffs considerations?
Thank you.
It looks easy, and in the right vehicle/tyres/weather conditions I am sure it is. However, when wet it can have some difficult sections for the wrong wheel base. Easy enough down, but slippery when wet. But I would not describe it as particularly challenging either, just steep which is a problem if your radiator is not working!Dunlop Hill?

Unless there is more than one Dunlop Hill the ones showing up on the Google search look very familiar. As we drove it this year and a couple of years ago in the other direction. It's a nice lane, but not a lot of a challenge off road wise.
Yes. You have a higher wading depth with the L322 than say a p38, so unless you are really going for it you should do well in the water. However, the Diffs have breathers and if you wade in them without protecting them then you may have to service the diff’s afterwards.Sorry to crash and point me to where this may have been already covered - what about L322?

You just love to bring up my mistakes don't you?....I'm guessing wade limits are in the owners manual? Otherwise try and dind where the air-intake comes out.
It has bigger wheels so probably copes better, although don't be lulled by the comfort into going too fast as mud / grass has a low coefficient of friction and you start taking out gateposts like dominoes. @Saint.V8 might know more.

The point at wwhich contact is made....
Such fun!
Also, as @Grrrrrr said, take it easy if you are on standard rims. If you have 20” rims and low profile tyres then be really careful when wading, in muddy ruts and in any rocky environment because you don’t have much rubber to absorb the impact of a sticky up bit. You can break a rim or just shred tyres really easily. If you don’t have Brembo’s then you can get away with smaller steel rims18” or maybe even 17” and put some fatter tyres on it.
Come on, spill the beansPah, schoolboy stuff. I've made WAY bigger mistakes than that!
