As far as I can work out there were never factory settings for a 300tdi shod with 238/85 r16's as they weren't a factory option at the time.

The closest I can get is the Haynes Workshop manual if I ...

The vehicle has uprated suspension as the original died and it used to carry quit ...

@grenadier steel or stainless steel is probably just a personal choice, as said before either will be a million (probably) times stronger than the original parts having put Gwynn's mud flap mounts on ...

Mine is also very much functional rather than show pony so giving it a good clean and then plugging it up and oversealing with something is fine. It'll hardly be visible once the cargo bear rack and r ...

I thought I had solved (temporarily) the water ingress issue that is plaguing my 110CSW.

What model etc is it?

I spoke to SE the other day and apparently it doesn't have an effect on departure angle although it must be lower at some point than the original (just to get the extra capacity).
