actually the auto does work really well. at least without a load behind. hope it holds up ok.

doesnt come off boost so much. the hill up to my house on one approach is very steep. previously almost came to a stop. now it just keeps pulling all the way

haha, you bet

havent done any off road driving so keen to give it a go sometime for sure.

when you're ready mate ...we'll take it moderately easy but challenging to start off with to get the confidence up....and go from there.

am in south brissy. plenty of guys around here that can pull us out if stuck :)

hey mate any more updates?

fuel economy observations?

temps? etc

fuel economy is not surprisingly poor. 22L/100km around town 50% and highway 50%

update on how it drives - fantastic. power delivery is smooth and acceleration anytime is awesome.

no towing yet but just took delivery of trailer so will update more at end of April after a few trips to the track

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
