If that's the one at the top near the bomb holes yes....looks about 40' angle with a 25ft run up to it with a 20ft slope?

There's quite a few up there that you have no idea what's on the other side, but I just followed a group of defenders up them all ( to their surprise) a little slippage but no dramas Thumbs Up GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

Stan the best way tog et the mud off is on a cold engine. Soak the engine bay in a light mist and then leave for 30mins and repeat a few times and then hose it off. Or book in for an engine bay and underbody steam clean Very Happy

As for the lamps, the only way to clean them as i have found is to take them apart. before anyone goes wading deeply id reccomend blocking off the 4 breather holes on each unit(06MY>) before going in. The rears dont suffer really as the bow wave at the rear seems to save them from being exposed too much.

If the water goes over your bonnet get ready for wet feet! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Even normal engine bays get mucky inside stan Very Happy

wading in an SC would be a brave man as it takes air from both wings and slightly lower than the TD6 iirc... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

KP, yes, just regular driver insurance for road use (mine says excludes off-roading / trials but still acceptable)

Booking a man in might be a damn good idea....Shots Before and After my man Ibby did mine (gave the lad a £20 today as it was caked up and under and he even did his best to clean underneath)

Craig + RR2008 Thumbs Up It's fair to say that us FF owners, really do have an exceptional machine on our drives...I might go again in November (9th) if the weather is reasonable...it'd be good to see a few other members there? ( just off J27 M62 Leeds)

Love to join you, but the commute is a Censored . For the reasons Stan mentioned, I use a D1 V8 for such things (well after the cleanup from the first adventure in the ffrr. Although it's "the old Land Rover," it's still a very nice car.
