Looking at tow vehicles and found something that i quite like except for this picture. Not sure what to make of this, is it just a lot of dirt or could it be a warning.

Just looks like loads and loads of dust. I loved my Explorer and would say that

The Frontera has been an excellant work horse over the past 5 years and has trailered the car all over the place and has never missed a beat. But it struggled like hell with the welch hills going to Anglesey and one steep hill going to cadwell. The poor girl has had a hard life plus we now need something a bit bigger.

The Explorer towed me and the M3 all over the place. A great workhorse and so comfortable it was frankly wonderful after a long day on circuit. A heavy car on all suspension parts so make sure you don't get any knocks, squeaks or bangs unless you allow for replacement bits

Cheers stu. helpful advice:thumbs:

At least you'd spot any oil leaks pretty damn quick

There is that

Looks like a bag of self raising has been chucked over it!

The engine bay's of the locally acquired civvy wagons in Afghan and Iraq used to look like that. Afghan has that same really fine talc like dust that gets everywhere and into everything, in fact the essential task of turning on the air con could be likened to sucking on a 1980's vintage Dust Buster!

Those wagons were Surfs and Shogun's mostly but a lot of the US guys favoured the Explorers (stick with what you know and all that I suppose) the wagons used to keep going with very little maintenance so I wouldn't be too put off by the dust

Granted the examples in question were just used for general pottering around and weren't really put under load but for day to day use they were reliable



It would be interesting to see what the story behind this wagon is and where it has come from

I'm still debating whether or not to go and look/test drive it as it's 85 miles from me and i hate taking the train.
