The high pressure fuel lines may need bleeding.

Update...I am cold ...wet and stink of diesel..still not 100% sure but the fuel filter/diesel housing opens and pisses out diesel on turning the engine over, I am robbing a housing off an LDV van a mates braking and I can bleed through and start again until I have sorted that bit can't go any further, I will report in on the great diesel saga tommorow... :shock:

Good AT's are getting close to Muds ..Would suggest BFG MT's (KM2 :shocked: : :drool:) but Goodyear MTR's are rated too

Deffo a transfer case skid plate  and front rear recovery points as well....if you go laning worst potential damage might be scratches but there is a cure for that (lol).....no one I know wants to come home on a tow truck...
