Sniff!

Wor 'owever 'umble 105BHP 1.6TDI Octavia wit der DSG transmission just lifted a 3000kg (weighed so I actually know) up a moderately steep lane with speed bumps and then manouvered said trailer back and forward, in around steel stanchions in a dutch barn.

Some 4 miles later.

With zero clutch slip or fuss, other than a wee scrabble from the front tyres, never pulling more than 3000rpm and only using D1 to pull away from a dead standstill, and then only v briefly.

Who needs 3 litres.

Just noticed this. The old navs could actually make contact, they've added a buffer on the new one

Do the chassis flex that much?

 

I have noticed that the Jap 4x4's tend to have shallower chassis rails, like 4-6" the landies look more like a transit type being about 8". Supposedly the new defender if it ever arrives is having an ally chassis.... it will probably cost £40k though:001_rolleyes:

The gap between the cab and the back of the truck has some form of protection between to protect on contact.

 

My old truck used to contact as the back twisted as I drove. I had a 5 inch mark on easy side of the cab where the contact had basically 'wet and dried' back to bare metal.

 

I had mine fixed and repaired under the warranty.
