Hey NM!
does Gandalf have anti-roll bars?

That is a low first

nearly 63:1 (if my maths are correct)

Not sure about Gandalf Pedro, but if you read the specs for the new one, anti roll bars are only on the 130.

Mornin Mr N!

I thought that was strange too! Pictures don't agree with the specs.

My doesn't have a rear anti-roll-bar.

This image always reminds me of the old Toyota HiLux and, especially, lifted HiLuxes (I haven't checked the current model).

Their transfer case hangs down so low below the chassis that it has a small rearward facing guard.

Land Rovers don't need that as that are tucked up so well.

The handbrake drum hanging down like that is indeed a worry - ding that and you ain't going nowhere !

Looks like an opportunity for someone to come up with an aftermarket bash plate.

When my old thing was new back in 1997 I got a large plastic bag full of assorted hardware from under the El Cheapo, badly slashed-into-shape rubber mats. It looks like the tradition is being kept up!

Also a question:
Where's the air intake/filter is the intake still on the driver's side mid way between door and wheel where the vent is and is the filter now a plastic box up front?

Thanks, mate

The air intake position the same as TD5, I think a snorkel shape should be the same too. The air filter box on that picture behind the bonet stick on LHS

Cheers,
Ruslan

Does anyone know if the a/c system now has some kind of a dust filter?
