There are plenty of lanes which are very easy, the only concern I’d have is that it would be really easy to damage a 21” wheel and tyre on a protruding rock. Would assume they are very low profile? I only really go out on tag along tours, the company I use are called trails and tracks 4x4...

Completely up to you if you want to lift it of course. On the D1 I bolted various guards etc to it because I thought if they sell them I must need them. On the D2 all I’ve done is swapped the tyres onto it, new oem spec suspension and fitted a snorkel which honestly I don’t need, just like to...

Question is, do you really need the lift? Does it have SLS/ACE?

Mine is on 245/75/16 on new standard suspension. Do a bit of laning in it, suspension height hadn’t been an issue yet but I have used the off road height button a few times.

It is Auto. It’s now my daily and I do have some 245/75/16 fairly aggressive hybrid MT tyres on it so I’m not expecting great things. Had hoped for mid/late 20’s mpg but not a deal breaker. Will do some research on what the MAF sensor should be reading and see how I feel about the EGR. That kit...

Any thoughts on which kit to go for? I don’t have any real reason to do it, engine seems healthy but given others comments on it being an improvement I’m willing to give it a go. Hoping it may benefit the mighty 23mpg it’s currently achieving too! Allisport one looks good to me...

My engine cover was missing a bolt. Also got new grommets/washers, found I needed to use the old ones outside of the new ones to get the bolts snug. Much quieter now though!

I will only add that under articulation I don’t have much clearance with 245/75/16 on my D2 facelift. I can’t imagine offset modulars helping but having never run them I wouldn’t know for sure.

I was able to borrow a very nice britool one, was close to making a purchase though. Did buy a 3/4 breaker but also got a wheel nut socket to go with that so it now lives in the car. The tool was 900mm long, torque wrench probably about 1m. It took everything my dad and I had to get the wrench...

If it’s low it’s probably gone somewhere. Get checking for leaks. A dry pump is a soon to be broken pump.

I did mine as per the D2 website with a tool plasma cut to my design and a flipping great big 3/4” drive torque wrench. It’s really, really, really tight. I guess what you’re suggesting is you do it up with the gun and assume it’s tight enough? If JM thinks that’s ok I would guess it is, I’d...

Having had a manual D1 and now an Auto D2 Id take the auto. You lose a little engine braking down hill maybe but in low range it allows you to select manual mode which works well.

This area is for hellos and pics, get some more details of the car you have etc and start a thread in the appropriate forum for you car and you’ll no doubt get some assistance. Welcome to LZ!

Mine has become my daily. Gives me some inspiration that I probably don’t have to worry too much!

Is it the ABS activating?

Very impressive. Anything special with maintenance or just the usual?

Good effort! How much of the original engine/drivetrain is still in it?

As of tonight it’s sitting on the drive on 160k. Couldn’t have planned it if I’d tried!

Welcome. We’re loads on eBay when I last got one to cut up, paid about £60 from memory.

I had a 1998 D1. You’re spot on in that it cost virtually nothing to run unless you want to spoil it as I did mine. The D2 is a better more practical car in every way but many many more times more complicated so you will spend a lot more looking after it. Depends what you want, of the two I kept...
