  1. Has anyone had done or have photos of the silver trim parts on the front and rear bumper wrapped in black like the Monte Carlo
  2. Or new yeti http://www.skoda.co.uk/why-skoda/visions/pages/default.aspx#form
  3. I got a Hatcbag boot liner done for my yeti had it over 5 years now and still going strong also its in the 2nd yeti now as it was that good made of heavy grade waterproof rubbery type material available in range of colours and lots and lots op options as you can see i went for orange as i like orange and wanted to keep the inside cool for the dog as black would absorb the heat.
  4. Use a rope between the trailer and towball and extend the distance between the trailer and the yeti so you don't get on the wet slippery stuff or just stay on the flat while lowering the yeti down the slipway. Here is some good info on the subject by the RYA and Paul glatzel http://www.rya.org.uk/newsevents/enewsletters/Sportsboatsandribs/november/Pages/toptips.aspx Here is my setup and even now that I have a 4x4 I still sometimes use the rope trick to keep away from losing traction on weed.
  5. Haven't a clue on another way to get to the egg other than the factory way. But my garage quoted £2 grand+ for replacing the egg if it needed changing as 90% of that is labour of raking all the exhaust,dpf,swingarm,subframe,driveshafts etc etc off it to get to it. Not an easy job but I'm sure somewhere I have seen a topic on doing a ear change diy style which was basically the same way as the factory. But they had the use of a pillar lift to get the whole car in the air to get access to the underneath.
  6. True no chassis my bad but does have a lot of steel runni gear and this is what I was referring to when I said had rusted to very bad flaking standards. Also what does it matter where a car is built if they all share the same Land Rover badge they should all have the same build standards not different ones.
  7. Sat in a Range Rover evoke once whe. Looking for a new car for the missus. Could not get the seat low enough for my head to be not pressed into the roof I'm only 6foot. And looked underneath the chassis and was amazed by the amount of corrosion on the underneath it was flaking off in chunks of rust. Don't get me wrong I would love to restore a defender if I had the space but that would have to be on a galvanised chassis and rebuilt from the ground up. Just would not trust build or mechanical quality from the Land Rover factory also after working with land rovers for 19 years in the army they can do the job but bloody hell they need looking after.
  8. I asked this at my last service and it because the engine will check the quality of the oil once serviced and give you a service reminder for the future. So makes sure that the oil was changed on the service and not just reset
  9. Heading north on Saturday afternoon on the M5 just for a short while though before joining the 303
  10. Anybody else tow the boats with yetis out there just finished a holiday in Cornwall and towed the boat down with us. Saw a F/L black yeti launching a small sailing yacht in mylor Falmouth so got me thinking how many others go afloat via the yeti. Here's my 5.8 rib under tow by the yeti.
  11. You can do this on the Columbus sat nav I have activated it once but you have to be classed as off-road I believe
  12. Was looking at a 4x4 f/l Octavian before i got the 4x4 yeti and to be honest the yeti is the stronger choice for me. Better specced and nice ride in the yeti than the Octavia. The big thing that also swayed me was the driving environment with the yeti you have loads of room to relax stick it on cruise control and sit back and watch the miles fall away. The Octavia I found was too enclosed it felt like the console was built around the driver and was very close unlike the yeti which is very spacious and room to move. And being 6 ft plus the Octavia was poor on knee room not offensive but just had that niggle. So ended up with another yeti. The 4x4 140 is atrocious on fuel around town and stop start journeys but once out on the motorway it gets better mpg than my previous green line yeti.
  13. But after refitting the back of my car after fitting the tow electrics I had a little play around with the parcel shelf and with quite a bit of jiggling and manoeuvring you can get the parcel in with the travall dog guard fitted. But why you would want to have both in at the same time is beyond me.
  14. My cocker would squeeze past that net in seconds flat.
