OK Might look at that.
just spray some into the cap and dab some on with a cotton bud or small paint brush, did it on an early delivered Grenadier, look sooo much better

Hello bakepl:
Good idea.
Where do you get the power from?
From the nato solenoid behind the panel as it has more than adequate power/wiring at that terminal. I have this solenoid connected to the passenger overhead footwell switches that I'm not using and have downgraded the fuse from 10 to 5 amps.... the solenoid powers the nato and the compressor as I need it and any items run of that are fused accordingly.

Yesterday a short trip on grass . testing a meadow in forest.. not soaking wet.. - quite "impressive" - no difflocks or low required.
Today a short trip to our council "capital" - Friedberg (former army home of Elvis Presley) - to pick up some stuff.. good maneuvering in small roads.. and I managed to get an open parking spot on Friday.. - on way home there was a new Ford Bronco on opposite Lane.. gave the driver a wave .. he was confused staring at me.. .. So what..

North of Watford!
Horrendous flooding on many of the minor roads on our Lincolnshire roads. Grenadier performed flawlessly on them today.

Went down to the local harbour to look at the sea state. We’ve had quite a storm here the last few days

Very nice scenery, even more with the presence of the IG in front. Which is your local harbour?

Mushroom colour frames mud very nicely!

The fuel cap cover drops a couple of millimetres towards the back of the car and doesn't follow the wheel arch.

I have been working out a way to line up the Fuel cap cover...being a designer things in my brain have to line up as they were made to...It has annoyed me since I saw the prototypes and thought that would be sorted by the time it's in production...Looking at the cover hinge I noticed a lug at its base...I created a wedge using a light galvanized steel plate, by putting a crease in it...I played with this till I had the right lift I needed...so when I close the cover that lug slides up the wedge lifting the cover to the right height...this is my prototype that is held in place with Wurth double sided tape but it works for now and probably will be 3D printed and held in place with sika...it is easy to see this fault on the lighter coloured cars...once I have made a proper pattern I will again post on here...

Not that I have received my truck yet, but it will drive me nuts if it's noticeable. As I have asked others, please share the stl file should decide to 3d print. Thanks!

Your wife has a keen eye...I was very conscious of the top of the cover lining up with the track above it and I still think I could take a thou off the paint on the wheel arch side...splitting hairs is in my nature...I will keep on it... (y)

The little lug I pointed out may be the issue and should have been a little deeper and touching the cavity as it moves back into it...anyway we have what we have...on to it(y)
