Syncro - whom know about these jobbers then?

  1. As david said, but the diesels are pants, TD just about livable with. Just remember 4x4 will get you further up a hill than a 2wd but it won't stop any better going down a hill.

  4. It’s because I got stuck in a muddy puddle
    Last time I went to techenders.

    @Robo was shouting something to
    Me as I drove past his van but I couldn’t hear so I stopped - turns out he was shouting not to to stop or I’d get stuck.

    The poor buggers pushing me out got wet and muddy...,

    I like the 1600 turbo diesel, plenty fast enough if driven nuts out like it’s meant to be

    @Bigherb is right imo. The 2.1 when running well is a nice motor but just not powerful enough for full confidence in extreme off road. Especially in deep mud and sand. Same with the diesel.
    Tdi conversion or 2.5 Scooby depending on gearing and original tank or where you want to take it :thumbsup:

  9. I test drove a 1.6td years ago -it’s was quite sprightly until the throttle cable snapped and we had to crawl back to the garage half on the kerb. That and the trail or black smoke put me off buying it.
     
  10. And only £100 a piece -what a gent!!

    I’ll give you a shout if anything comes from this.
