If I'd have been the one in the motor and I got out to see him stood there puffing away, I'd have knocked him clean out

Lovely little motors, extremely capable off-road but not good on it. Probably the best green lane car you can get because they're so narrow and light.

 

If you are going to do the really muddy stuff there are a couple of simple mods worth doing. Fix rubber pipes to the diff breathers and run them inside the car, the reason for this is that in serious mud the diffs get very hot and if you then drive into cold water the sudden cooling sucks water / mud through the breather. Secondly, there is a breather on the bell housing which allows water / mud to get into the clutch - silicone a piece of plastic over it. Thirdly, get yourself a surgical latex glove and use it to waterproof the distributor. Five fingers means one for each HT lead and one for the feed from the coil. Cut a small hole in each fingertip and feed the cables through, then make good with tape and stretch the wrist over the distributor body. Put a blob of silicone grease in each HT cap then push them onto the plugs. I waterproofed the HT lead to cap joint with self-amalgamating tape. Next, make sure the battery is well fixed in, the metal strap is a bit puny and it's very close to the bonnet.

 

Make sure that all your winches, straps and tools are well strapped down. You will roll it, and you don't want them flying around inside the car.

 

Finally, remember to hose the mud out of the radiator regularly - they can be prone to overheat very quickly with a clogged radiator.

 

Edit// I forgot, they rust through where the inner skin meets the rear wheel arches, expanding polyurethane foam holds them together and keeps the water out.
