Got Muddy Again (well.....clay)

[alanbradley]

You're missing the front tray too... I'm going to get a nice steel one made I think.

Watch for all that thin mud blocking up your radiator as it dries - its what happened to mine after this outing:-



The engine bay still won't be winning any show 'n' shines!

You know what? After looking at the pic I realised that Crotch's had a little guard over the electronics around the diff mine hasn't got. Maybe there isn't meant to be on, but I still think its necessary.

I'll try and get a price for a couple made up with mine as a template.

If you're running hot (and mine sits at 80 to 82C according to my Scangauge and with the needle slightly to the cold side if vertical on the gauge) then some advanced rad cleaning is probably a god idea. I removed mine (15 to 20 mins - most of the time trying to remove the clips from the two small hoses at the bottom - don't forget the atf cooler is integral) and gave it a damn good hosing. An alarming amount of crud came out...
