That I dont have the time to drive it offroad more frequently :wink:

Would have liked a bit more power on the road, especially above 1500m above sealevel.

Other than than nothing.

First of all its not an amphibian craft, thats a pity!
No serious, the electric windows drives me nuts, I still want to convert it so that it works without the Ignition power on.Its a abosolute nuisance in a game park.
I would have also prefered less carpeting, and more vinyl matting. The carpets at the back are a dust/mud trap and it looks terrible are 2 weeks of holiday.

Good topic.

1. the boing boing - key in ignition. But, sorted thanx to your posts on the forum :biggrin:
2. the electric aerial. Have broken my second and now looking for a suitable whip aerial replacement. :thumbdown:
3. electrics and water - as Koos pointed out, esp. the newer models - Even a snorkel won't help here :thumbdown:
4. lowest fan speed - would've liked a lower setting
