Heh after 4days of it, for sure. Got my numbers wrong above too. That mud (and most places) was far deeper than 100mm.

In the pic you can see the mud surface was scraped flat in front of my car after reversing over/through it. Minimum ground clearance is 10" so that's more than 250mm thick mud actually.

After buying our Defender I realized the wheel nuts were on too tight to get them off with either the standard wheel brace or a longer handled one I have. Had to get a length of steel pipe and slide it over the handle of the wheel brace to get enough length to undo the nuts. Garages which do them up too tight with rattle guns should be avoided, I reckon.


On tyres, mine has done 60,000 kms on the original General Grabber TRs in 235/85/16 and they still have lots of tread left. Very quiet and grippy on road. Haven't used them much off road yet.
