Introduction
My fun car competes with my brother's Defender off road. Ready for some off road enhancements.
Hmm - thought I replied before, now can’t see it. How much extra did if it give you under the sump?
I’ve solved that issue by keeping the 4x4 Panda but adding a 2013 Decender!
By the way, an MOT tester may not like the blacked out reflectors...

Haha! I fitted an aftermarket off road engine plate guard which actually reduces clearance but the lift has given it a massive 3cm increase at the sump! I've added a 2008 LR Discovery which solves clearance too!

Most important thing in life is a mate who's a MOT tester!

A twenty left in the ashtray on MOT day works wonders.

You are very lucky because the government in Northern Ireland run the testing stations and at the minute the whole thing is an absolute mess

It’s not good at the minute it could take up to 5 months to get a date and in the mean time if your tax runs out you can’t use the motor

Madness. Politics. It'd crush your economy.
Take a ferry and MOT in England/Scotland. Or buy a 40 year old classic LR.

Maxsport RB1 Grass tyre 185/65/15.
Too noisy, short life, uneconomical and poorer performance on the road is what I'd expect. Hence, I'll be sticking (excuse pun) with my 185 Bridgestone Blizzaks on alloys on the road. I'm waiting for an Alcar 15" steel wheel to arrive in order to test fit this beast front and back. With the new lift and spacers, I'm hoping that they'll fit. If so, I'll buy another four wheels/grass tyres and use them just off road. I'm goung to end up needing a service vehicle!! However, I suspect they will be an interference fit at the rear having roughly measured and played with the tyre which may mean some minor surgery. Anymore than minor, I'm not doing.
