What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Stops rodents causing havoc with cable insulation too, bonus!

The 385mm option

Thanks

Stone wall came out of nowhere and pushed my bumper corner back towards the wheel. Had a fun couple of hours with my daughter bashing it back into shape!

The outer bumper corner supports are really flimsy - I'm sure the wall would have been less successful against my old defender.

Well done fixing that one. Luckily no damage to auxiliary rad or oil cooler pipes.

Sadly, we are not allowed vehicles that have bumpers to protect the car nowadays
Bumpers are there to protect the cyclist & pedestrians

Yep, and these plain black plastic parts that look like they should be really cheap sacrificial parts are not really cheap

At least this was a simple, cheap fix - not too concerned about scrapes and dents.

Had a turbo oil hose failure a few weeks ago (dodgy crimp on ferrule) which was a simple fix too, although getting to the bottom end stacked banjo fitting was a pig. Dealer was great
(Compas Automotive) and just sent me the parts I needed to fix it under warranty to save a 4 hour round trip.

Now the MIL light is on, with a P20BD fault indicating a faulty DEF heater. Good things always come in threes so hopefully this is the last problem for the time being!

Cyclists need bumpers. Roos need ADAS. Crazy world.

We drove ours down to the movie house the last two rvenings to watch the 25th anniversary screenings of the LOTR films by Peter Jackson. Leaving in 5 for the third. Does watching movies about adventure count for anything?
