seemed to cope in Wales ok (ish) on the first day we went thru deep water twice and seemed to cope ok,( i think your group went through that bit on sunday)
once the alternator is raised, all shall be good ( it is a worry at the mo). there is no engine bash plate at the mo, im going to make something but the sump sits lower than bar

there is only a bumper across the back but thats something im gonna mod too, after ive finished mounting these new bullbars ( gotta play around with the front bash plate so i can drop it of without messing with the bars and id like it flip down too - no nuts, as it seems to be on and off weekly at the mo.
the benefits with the volvo is the power and reliability ( and simplicity ) although its one heavy sucker as im sure neil is finding out as we speak. we put the new one in with a trolley jack under the gearbox and another under the engine and three men holding it up (it really didnt want to sit nicley on the jack and the 3 of us arent short on muscle but there was struggle and foul language till the studs went thru. i think neil said he is using a crane.
i really need that power as i load the back of my wagon to loads that might raise an eyebrow, but it works great.

the only thing that really might put some folk off is the noise, its really loud. i love it myself, but have to go easy when i roll up late on my street.
