Thanks in advance

No, they’re only 40mm longer and the factory ones are at full stretch with a stock lift in certain conditions.

Try it with Bendix blue fluid - check the colour a week later [wink]. The benefit is good pedal feel always and no fade.

You’re kidding right!

Thermodynamics won’t act on that system as you describe.
Cooling of the system includes exposed underbody runs, rise and falls throughout the system and ABS module in the run etc. it won’t do it and it doesn’t.

And why are you putting non-SBBF and SBBF together in your vehicle?

Must be an old bottle. Bendix released a notification of colour changes. Blue/Purple is Dot 5

Old ! possibly although I only bought it at REPCO 2 month ago - the fluid is a sapphire blue colour. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...760451a681.jpg

These went in on the weekend.

Attachment 158736

The bottom draw has tools, air comp, recovery gear, etc. The top draw has the cooker, plates, KFS, cups etc. This is the 'kitchen'

Neat..[emoji1417]

Tip - consider relocating your emergency glass hammer to where you can reach it from your driver seat. If you get stuck mid stream during a river crossing the water pressure will likely prevent you from opening your door AND your electric windows cannot be relied on to work having said that best practice is to have your window down before entering the water.

Yep, AND your sun roof if fitted....

The BEST practice when doing water crossings to NOT proceed if the water is too deep [thumbsupbig][biggrin]
