No issues but as I’m replacing a tired radiator and flushing the system through, I thought I’d ask if there was a benefit or some experience of it

That’s what I gathered from the various online reviews. It does look to be popular with the air cooled engines too, trail bikes etc.

Does anyone have an experience with this in their vehicle? I’m replacing the radiator and was looking at a decent coolant for the upcoming trip and came across Evans waterless coolant. It does look to be a faff to set up ( no water allowed in the system (less than 3%)) but the benefits seem to be worth it.

Top stuff ! I vote we contact some tv producers and get Stephen his own tv show building stuff 😁 got to be better than most

Is it the same as leaving your battery wired up to a solar panel all the time?

For that money I’d expect a professional finish, not the DIY plywood job with EBay special switches and fuse box and cheap stereo. Regardless of what the vehicle is capable of, it isn’t a professional job and Im not saying it doesn’t do the job, or being snobbish about the finish, but for that money I’d expect much more of a refined product with top end fixtures. To me it screams of someone who has produced something either for themselves to use or on a whim and thought it must be worth a fortune due to the market for extreme Murican Overlanders and thrown a figure out there hoping someone will bite. I foresee it still for sale in 12 months at half the price…

Some people clearly live on a different planet to the rest of us

To be fair it has a little more surface rust around the rear A frame area as that’s the centre point in between the chassis rails, but I didn’t get a pic this time, I will do next week when I swap the exhaust. I’m not planning on any protection…if it starts to fail anywhere I can see it

I can confirm Sam’s great company 👍

Mines 11 yr old now, one of the last 2.4’s and if I’m honest, the underside isn’t too bad. There is some surface stuff but not anything I’m worried about and I live near the coast, I reckon I’ve got another 5-10 years before certain parts are going to need replacing, but that’s to be expected from anything produced in Solihull. I’ve also still got the original chassis sticker on it 😁 I’ll take some pics if you like, so you can see

It might be an age thing ( i was dragged around europe as a kid with my dad's Datsun Urban converted with rover seats in it and with a caravan on the back), but i really do see the attraction of a caravan for holidaying. It does what you ask of it and no matter where you are, you have somewhere to sleep, cook and do your business. Now if the off road caravans weren't so stupidly expensive, it'd be a perfect set up.

3 different tyre/wheel combos on one side… I do like it though, purely for the ballsy idea to pull it off!

The system from BAS is pretty good as it doubles as a diagnostics tool as well, plugs into the OBD port and provides a lot of information. You can turn off certain aspects of the tune as well as perform your own pump learn, injector learn which normally have to be done by a garage or someone with a plug in tool.

2.4’s have very comfy seats, XS spec with A/C & heated seats and by far the best bit…heated windscreen! The actual cabin heater is a pain for the footwell as it heats up the handbrake so you burn your leg on it ( you can buy an adapter to re direct the heater ) but the rest of it is good, it’ll even demist the side windows TC is good and anti stall for when your lazy in traffic…not sure if these are standard or XS models only? you can tune the engines up to silly spec if you really want to but the standard tune takes them up to 180bhp from 140bhp which really does make a difference, much quicker on accelerating and more torque which means less gear changing on long runs. The engine/running of the truck feels more free if that makes sense? gearbox wise, 1st isn’t much use and 6th is more like an overdrive…you’ll find yourself pulling off in 2nd the majority of the time.

It’s an interesting point you raise there as the gearbox is a Ford item and the Transfer an original LR item. Perhaps when assembling both items and coming from different areas of the factory no one thought to lubricate the shaft? A simple mistake or oversight…

I do find NFU good. Once the mods were done with the 110 we were able to get appropriate valued insurance

Just as a note regarding puma powered Landy’s. A concern is regarding the engine elastictrickery as the rest of it has no real difference to previous models back to the 110/90. However the engine ECU isn’t going to stop the engine working unless there’s a major issue, which means it shouldn’t be driven regardless. some might say that a dodgy sensor can stop the engine but I found it hard to find anyone who genuinely has had a sensor stop a puma engine working and if so they are in the minority It’s a long way from a single wire to the fuel injector pump on my 200tdi but it’s not as bad as a CPU chip heavy newer vehicle. The fly in the ointment is the Immobiliser unit. I’ve had mine programmed to be switched off via a program should I need it to be, it’s quite a simple process.

sums up a creative mind. i went through 4 changes in the truck to get it where it is…not because it needed it but because I constantly wanted to try different ideas The journey, not the destination, is the goal

They’re aftermarket, originals are clear with a coloured bulb

840mm from the start of the wing at the bulkhead to the centre of the indicator

Ralph's link is good for what you want to know. I have the towing pack which has a larger plate i believe than the one you've listed

After spending years reading up on travelling in all manner or vehicles from bicycles to bus's, 99% of the time, it's all good. You're just as likely to lose your vehicle or bits off it in this country as anywhere else.

At my age, a toilet block is well worth looking for

I'll take a look over the weekend and let you know
