mortinson Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Madrid, España Vehicle(s): '98 G300TD LWB, '98 E300TD Saloon Posts: 1355 | Near the Jócar hillclimb - January 2010 Another day out and this time we attempted to climb the legendary Jócar hill. This hill is typically user by Enduro bikers and as far as I know no conventional 4wd cars have ever succeeded in climbing it, other that is, than Freyer, Dodotete and myself in February 2008. This time we did not even attempt to tackle it. The path to the base of Jócar crosses through a spring of water and this time it was soaking wet. One of the Gs in our party is fitted with the 18" Astraroths with AT tyres, which are totally useless in mud, particularly when we did not reduce the pressure given the low tyre profile and the rocky roads we used all day. Funnily, the LWB L300TD managed to get out of the place without assistance whereas Freyers Cabrio necessitated the use of his winch (including home-made cradle).

It's a 1998 G300TD :cheers:Interesting. I thought it might be. How is the intake plumbed. Getting a snorkel properly attached to that model isn't easy. Any pictures of the setup? | ||||||
