Hi all, names Dan , from Hemel Hempstead.

Bought my Fronty just over a month ago, as a replacement for my dog of a Mk3 Golf Cabrio :oops: ... I know, bit of a difference.
its a 3.2 in pretty good nick as far as i can see, Pulls really well, drinks plenty, the usual.
never had a 4x4 before, really looking to get into the offroading side of things, hopefully with a bit of direction and Know-how from you guys i could get stuck in.
are Autos any good offroad?

well thats all, here a pic of The Lump :D

Welcome to the mad house :lol: stick your name down for the picnic this weekend coming then you can see what these cars can do off road. Even if you don't want to take yours off road yet.

the autos are great off road you just need to be gently with the gas pick revs and let it do the work because when it spins it will spin

so take it nice and stead when needed if your spininng in 2wd hit the 4wd button on the dash but dont do it on tarmac save it for when 2wd wont do which you will find is quite far with on of these when its slipping about in 4wd or your going for something a little more tricky or steep put it neautral and then you can pull the smaller tick in to 4l which means you get the low range box and take then like i said put your foot down gently till your moving and then steady as you and hold the revs and let the car do the work.

the v6 has more power than you expexct and will spin all 4 wheels very easy in the wet stuff and in the auto really easy. if you find really wet mud and its really spinning the snow flace button for winter mode and you will not use first or second and so give you even more control.

normally once your in 4wd drive on steep hill the v6 has the power to gain momentum fast and then let the traction carry you the rest of the way you settle in your own way style of driving as you get more confident off road

as they go on a event and go round with someone else watch them driving and feel how they do it then have a go in your own truck.

see if any one is going green laning near you before hand as giv you even more time to get it dirty lol
cheers
