I've not done any 'serious' off-roading in it yet but the little but I have its preformed very well! It's my first 4x4 so can't really compare it to anything but I do think it's good!

Where did you get your front fog kit from and was it easy to fit? I would like to put some On my hippo.

diesel rhino arrived today, have to put in 30mls for every 10L for the first fill up so ill be doing that in the morning!


got a spare boot handle so thought I may as well smooth the badge off as i have never seen it done before





New hoses arrived, so took inlet off and cleaned it with oven cleaner, as you can see it deffo needed doing!



will carry on with this in the morning and fit these



Also here is a sneaky picture on another car which i get to work on now and again

Cool. If you're like me you'll be cleaning those hoses every couple of weeks. They get mucky, with turbo vapour I think, if you don't keep on top of them.

Enjoy your nice motor :clap2:
