Don't laught at that I taught one of my friends how to off road in my truck, which I neva had as she didn't get stuck....I did. Not often a 30 year old gets taught how to 4x4 by a 16 year old

After swapping the engine the only rad and fan I had available was from a small Rover and we had to keep the fan on full to stop overheating, hence the annoying noise, will be cured next time out, got a massive rad with two fans from the scrapie yesterday, Rick

Cool, didn't think it was annoying . I've got a fan to stick on my t2 so it'll be making a similar noise

Yes but your rad/fan will not be behind the seats like the off roader is, rad in normal position will be full of mud in no time, Rick

No Pete it is easier than you think, you just need to "think" it amazed us to find when going down hill, others will back off while we backed off as normal giving right of way to those coming UP, but it seems to me that they assume that you are like them and coming down hill you have no control, whereas we always have full control downhill and if necessary are able to stop and reverse, is this not the norm, Rick

i darent put myself into the position to find out mate , but well done

road manners dictates that you give way to traffic coming uphill anyway , but not everyone believes in road manners

The downhill thing is one of the ultra dangerous things on PnP sites. I mean properly see only sky hills. Once committed to going up it that's it , no going back, unless messy. You should spot all hills though for the obvious reasons. Most roll overs happen after a failed hill climb and numpty driver freewheels it back down and flip flop ouch
I'll find you a classic youtube in a min.
Downhills are either short enough to drive them or even accelerate out of them but on monster steep slippy ones you have little control over gravity so treat hills with respect basically.

Yep he was shaken and bruised with a dented pride . I've seen many roll overs in just that way. Also forward rolls where people jump on the brakes downhill :@
