Made a big difference the new set up comfort wise- a big change I’ve noticed is at speed it feels way more in control (well as in control as it’s going to get at 70mph in a TD5 on mud terrain tyres!)

Hi. Was really interested in this video and keen to see how you go. I swapped my old shocks, springs, bushes and roll bars last year. One thing I learned as I went from lifted to lowered was to replace the bump stops. Unless you do this every bump will hammer the axle against the chassis once your lowered. Next thing is to see what difference real world the shocks make. I am not sure if my Britpart ones are up to the job, even though they were new and the xd spec. we will see after I've fitted the new shorter bump stops. Good luck. keep making the good videos. Frank

Alive Competition Entry - One way to get rid of that mid inside your chassis is to feed a hose through the larger holes and move it back and forth to dislodge the mud. Doing this way takes long though, I've spent hours on my chassis and there's still mud inside, especially around the larger holes for the wiring loom.
