Naa, 157 RPM is Isuzu territory


Sneaky bloody mat.

Everytime I checked it it was sitting OK.

if you really want to find max WOT, just add a couple extra ltrs of engine oil and go for a drive.....preferably up a windy single lane road

punch a hole in the bonnet, and then just feed it through the window, of course YOU would have twitched a loop for a handle....

Just after it happened it went through my head at what happened with you.

Steve, Serg has seen my bonnet release, it isn't so different

[edit] It was a temporary fix when the cable snapped and I've had a new cable for, oh, maybe six months or more now

I thought a defender only get good once the bonnet release was a loop of number 8
Isnt that how ALL good fenders are rigged?

ps glad you got the easy fix - now you can go back to dreaming about never doing a zuzu transplant
