OK, i know its a bit of a girly post... but I have just spent the past half hour digging mud out from under my motor. Does anybody have any great ideas for removing the endless piles of mud after a weekends play? The motor has been jetwashed etc but the bash guards and other bits are still cake'd in cack! _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

what you call cheap Chris less than £300? do a search for 4x4 clubs most have for sale pages, and not forgetting eebuygum. |

Im holding out for one closer to £100 if possible ... even if it needs plenty of welding etc (what motor under £500 doesnt need welding!). If nothing turns up its back to the bank manager (missus) for more pennies _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

I haven't tried it - but I did hear of someone putting a rotating lawn sprinkler thingie under his truck and leaving it on for half an hour. I'm told that it works very well.

Thats not dirty, you should have seen Rabbitt after he eventually dug up the courage.
Leave the mud in place for a couple of days under the geuards then poke it with a welding rod a bit through the holes, when you drive down the road later little mud missiles start shaking free behind you, wake the Chorley sunday drivers up a bit |
