Thats all I managed today after about 5 hours of driving, is that normal
Well it might be if your dragging its arse through mud, rocks, water and god knows what else at parkwood 4x4.

Any one know if those hand car wash places charge extra for a mud covered 4x4

Nice work on the mpg. The car wash at the total garage near me does not allow muddy off roaders to use the car wash or the jet wash cos the mud clogs the drains. The local polish contingent don't mind though. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Good effort! Any pics?

No pics or videos of the freel in action but if you look over on disco3 you can see me in the car park before we all got stuck in.

Dont know about the tintent but the plough on the back did a good job judging by the amount of muddy clay covering it. Its not damaged or bent so i'll be ok to go vanning any time soon

EV, will the mud do any damaged to the paint work if its left on for a week until I have time to give it a good wash at the weekend? As I need to dig all the mud, clay, stones and bits of trees out of the underside especially round the fuel tank, looks likes its doubled in size
I should of driven through the lake more at the end to clear the underside but i think landys look better with a good splattering of mud

Well i'll play it safe and go extra slow just incase.

Make sure you clean the radiator too, driving through the muddy water will have clogged it up,

I rinsed mine and still had loads of mud in it which, according to the dealer lead to the over heating gauge jumping up, but it stopped once cleaned and a new sensor was done Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The rads look pretty clear but I will give all the front end and engine bay a good wash out at the weekend.

So did mine, but the pics the LR dealer showed said otherwise
