It does doesn't itBack on topic.
I have to say the 50mm lift + bigger AT tyres gives my car a stance I'm very happy with.
Mind you I might purchase another set of camber bolts for the rear.

Having a vcu and props fitted reduces front wheel spin when pulling away because the vcu activates as soon as the wheels start to spin, therefore telling the rear wheels to share the forward drive. The difference with/without the vcu is surprising on the v6. I filmed with/without vcu on grass and the difference is noticeable when pulling away. Similar to the FL2 applying drive to the rear wheels when pulling away, then releasing it if yer not in any of the special terrain response drive modes.

I think everyone is in agreement with that Hippo - everyone that is except Rache!!!

I hope he read the response I gave him (after the silly ones) so he stops his quest. If not it's going to cost him more £ for nothing.
I was concerned about beasty and his brake concerns. Didn't want him thinking he could buy a FL1 and remove the vcu to get the back end out round the corners.

Rache doesn't get the VCU involved to drive the rear wheels because he doesn't touch the throttle. Not much chance of him spinning the wheels.

There's a hole in my plastic thing so I can get to the sump plug.
Do you change the oil every 2 years or twice a year. I'm confused

If it's a Range Rover, change the car, it's cheaper

I took mine out completely, guessed that the frame surround should be enough.

yeah, I think I will be adding some extra material in future. Just waiting on the tap set so I can recondition my spare VCU and I might fit an aluminium bash tray.

Nice one, it's fun getting a good car for cheap and playing with it.
BTW I know the 17" wheels look better but I found 16" tyres are a lot cheaper.
