After such a long trip and hard testing the vehicle, I would like to share my impresions with you.
The European version of the diesel engine is not valid for overlanding far in the wild.
Because of the non pollution regulations in Europe, the car is designed to stop when there are issues with the Adblue or the SCR. I have learnt also that if ABS sensors are disconnected, the car will stop.
The last thing you want in an overland vehicle is to be designed to stop with certain failures, specially contamination issues. An overland vehicle has to be designed to keep moving against all problema and issues, your life can depend on the car ability to move forward.
I think a remap in the offroad module that could cancel the Adblue would ve very welcome.
Propshafts have to be redesigned. CV joints are confortable, no vibes but perhaps U Joints are more offroad focused. Changing the caster angle in the front shaft would put more in line the front differntial with the transfer case.
Transfer case should hace to have a proper neutral in the shift and driver to be able to shift the transfer box into neutral from inside the car. When the car is stuck in mud, wáter, in the cresta of a dune, you can not get under the car
