Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you Chris, really nice to read comments like that

Sounds like some of the top spec models have a webasto configured as a booster heater to help things warm up when started during cold weather. This is common on the ex demonstrator vehicles which had all the optional goodies fitted to show them off. The standard cold climate pack (which I have) includes heated seats, mirrors, heated washers etc. The heated screen is fitted to all models as far as I know.

@@BeavisPits I only found out about it last winter after I had it Waxoyled, they must have sprayed the heater with it and when it heated up I thought the car was on fire with the smell coming off it, I nearly shit myself, pulled over on the side of the road, lifted the bonnet and the Engine looked fine, the smell coming from the drivers side vent where the side repeater is, I didnt know what the hell was going on ha ha

Mine is grey!

If you want the video, I say the tyre make/size. Only steel wheels I know are the spare wheel, but not really for regular use on or off road. I’m sure you can find other makes of car which have steels with the same PCD.

Hi John, I’ve not tried fitting mine without the wheel spacers, but I have heard of others doing it. The gap between the tyre inside wall and the shock tube will be quite narrow, only around 10mm or so. The concern is that a stone could get caught and damage the tyre.

They have their own studs so straight fit. They were not “through spacers” which require longer studs.

Intake silicone duct is from ebay. See my intake upgrade video. The sidestrips are black plastic available from various LR parts websites.

merci beaucoup!

The grille surrounds are getting quite rare these days. Ebay is probably the best place to start looking for one.

I think it was from ebay. Maybe PowerfulUK or a LR parts online seller like Duckworths or similar

@@BeavisPits Many thanks! :)

The roof basket was bought on ebay and is attached to two genuine LR cross bars using the U-clamps which came with it.

@@BeavisPits ok! Do you want to share the ebay link, so i can see what kind off U-clamps are used?

Thanks Richard! The lift spacers are very firm rubber so don’t change the spring rate or damping effect. The ride is higher, but comfort should remain the same.

Thanks for the great feedback. Tyres are great on tarmac too.

On my list!

I bought mine years ago on eBay. I don’t think the seller is trading anymore but I found this one on Amazon by MaxxHaul which looks similar… www.amazon.co.uk/MaxxHaul-70115-Steel-Rack-150-Capacity/dp/B073G49NPV/ref=asc_df_B073G49NPV/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=500749924512&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18382123156391983543&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045743&hvtargid=pla-569747249443&psc=1&mcid=14ac0af5e86d3500bdab4a32ba683a98&th=1&psc=1

Thanks, I used etch primer, then regular primer, then black gloss, then clear lacquer.

Any modification should be declared to your insurers. Whether a suspension lift would increase your premium or not depends on who you’re insured with. Rock sliders are available from MuddyMods. I may fit some in the future.

The suspension has lift spacers fitted above the shock absorbers. This pushes the wheels down, lifting up the car. The tyres are BF Goodrich KO2 245/70R17

Yes, I go off road from time to time. Most of the mods have a practical reason...extra lights for the dark country lanes, amber strobes for 4x4 rescue, big tyres for helping nurses get to hospital in the snow, etc. If you look at my earlier videos there are lots of byways and offroad events.

There is a video on the camera, have a look at my channel and you’ll see it. It is an Autovox camera.

Hi Daniel, the lift spacers are now available on my website fl2lift.com

@@BeavisPits Hi, you have done a brilliant job with your car! Unfortunately the links are obsolete. Can you please tell me what make is the roof rack or where can i find one ? Thank you!

Ebay... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362737712736

@@BeavisPits thanks for that

I run LED bulbs for mainbeam and have the lightbar on the roof. If you want to stay fully legal then try osram nightbreakers.

@@BeavisPits Cheers I use Nightbreakers but on full beam, I can barely see 20m in front.

Sounds like you need a light bar! Check out my roof light bar video. But you could fit one on the grill instead.

@@BeavisPits ok do you sell the one for the grill

Yes, I make and sell grille brackets for strobes or spotlights/lightbars. Take a look at my website beavispits.com

Best to use a tyre size calculator web page to check circumference. Mine are 5% larger circumference. Any bigger and you may have clearance issues.

They are excellent in the rain. No issues at all. My previous tyres were General Grabber AT and they were very slippery in the wet.

@@BeavisPits thanks a lot I Think I will buy

Probably not as often as I should. I do check the spacer-to-hub nuts occasionally when I have the wheels off. I check the spacer-to-wheel nuts more often, usually before a long journey.

I paid £175 each ‘all in’

@@BeavisPits worth it when off roading? It looks great pal.

Yes, highly recommended for off roading

Thanks! Tyres are BFG AT KO2 in 245/70R17

Yes, absolutely fine

@@BeavisPits Also at the rear when crossing the axles ? :)

@@lacike767 not had any issues

@@BeavisPits But has the grip changed enough ? )

@@lacike767 grip is very good

The snorkel project had to be put on hold. I will resume it again soon.

I make and sell some parts on my website beavispits.com. Also check out PowerfulUK and MuddyMods

Thank you

The wheels are factory XS alloys, sprayed black, and the tyres were put on by my local tyre place (Merityre in Hook, Hampshire UK)

Correct

Thanks Stewart. 255/55 should just about fit but are a little wide for the wheels. May look a bit bulgy at the sides. Wheel spacers may also be required to increase tyre-to-shock clearance.

Not really, that would probably lead to a copyright infringement notice

Yes, but best to fit wheel spacers to move the tyre inside wall away from the shock

@@BeavisPits when is your lift kit and light bar brackets back in stock

You’ve missed your chance with the lift spacers. Sold the last set on Friday. Roof brackets back in stock in a few days.

@@BeavisPits will you have anymore in stock soon

Not for a few months. If you’re on facebook or instagram then follow Beavis Pits, I posted a few posts saying last few spacers remaining so be quick if want some. Sorry, but now they have all gone.

Wheel spacers or lift spacers?

@@BeavisPits hi mate, the wheel spacers. I had a quick look on the h and r website and there seemed to be a few different ranges. I'm going to do a lift later. I'll certainly be looking at your lift spacers!

I fitted 25mm hubcentric spacers. Not H&R but another high quality British made spacer. Avoid cheap Chinese items as the quality is poor. Also avoid non-hubcentric as they don’t have the locating ring.

@@BeavisPits nice one, cheers dude.

Been down a lot of byways and done a few off road days. See my other videos.

Which lights are you referring to?

Thanks, the washer cap was from ebay. Around £10 each. I did buy a job lot and sold them on my website, but all gone now.

@@BeavisPits thanks I’m gonna order the orange warning lights and the horn bracket 😁

I recommend joining one of the facebook groups for general advice. I’m in the off road group. My tyres were £170 each from Merityre.

No, but you could fit two tone or musical horns if you wanted to. I’m not sure about the mot rules though. May need a single tone horn too.

If you watch the video, I tell you 😉

@@BeavisPits tell me there please with numbers.

It is in the video. You have also asked me previously on another video and I gave you the size then. Please look at your comment on my wing air intake removal video.

@@BeavisPits I lost my phone my videos and your informations please! Sorry

245/70R17, as stated in the video

No, sorry, but check out Muddy Mods for FL1 bits

@@BeavisPits cheers mate

Selling it and buying 2. It's less bad than 1

Yes, about two months ago, see the video

@@BeavisPits what’s it like? A lot faster? Or just slightly? What gains did you get?

That is my neighbour’s car. My wife drives the black polo.

What modifications would you like to see? Bear in mind that there aren’t many uprated parts available for the FL2, and those that are tend to be cosmetic.
