my boys do a 30k trip over the plains on their pushbikes so if your up there one day and a couple of kids on blue bikes come flying past you down one of the hills and give you the thumbs up you'll know who they are. Laughing

Rusty, i understand what u r saying but when we went thro the ford we had an airfilter box full of water and the water got past the filter into the engine on one Deli. it was just say running with white smoke puffing out. the air filter was ringing wet, we mopped the filter box out so we could get home. everything was running fine once the airfilter was removed. i'm wondering if u've been lucky?!

just like to mention it to other people as there's plenty of pics of folk going thro water in Deli's, we reckon we were close to disaster. it'd b a good thing to check in the airbox after going thro the water (its seconds to remove 4 clips)
cheers
Tony

Yes, I see what you are saying and of course you are absolutely right. It's gotta be worth checking and Thanks for the timely reminder Rolling Eyes

Mind you, I didn't go through any really deep water on the plains :? It was only at Slindon that we got a bit carried away Twisted Evil

But never the less a check will be done before I next use it Wink

tony,
there should be a rubber drain in the bottom of the filter box(there is on the 300's and uk stuff), like a mushroom type thing, worth checking its not stuck itself to the box.

Just dug this photo out again to remind everyone how easy it is to fill the airbox with mud Shocked

It was taken a while after the Slindon meet and I think backs up what Amy (err 'Tony?) is saying about checking the box Wink

Well finally got round to cleaning the beast... Air box 'A' okay, no mud got thro there at all Razz

But as usual I had to put it up on the ramps in order to jet wash out all the nooks and crannies. :? All the suspension arms are hollow section which dig up and fill with soil Shocked

Requires the use of an screwdriver or stick to prise out the mud before finishing with the jet wash Evil or Very Mad

Anyone who has taken their Deli seriously off road should check all these parts as they really do clog up!!! To do this you will need to remove the various SumpGuards (x3) etc
Don't forget to flush the outer cores of the radiator as well! (Not with a jet-wash but an ordinary hose to save damaging the fins) Wink

Anyway, whilst under the front, I found my Bash plate, which I've already repaired once is now totally mullered Evil or Very Mad

(Note: Missing fixing point (Bottom left corner) which has been ripped off) Shocked

I think a post in the 'Wanted' section is called for... Rolling Eyes
