Once when my arches were off I could work out which band of different coloured mud was from which off-roading event. All there in shades of brown & red.

Just by coincidence yesterday as part of the engine swap preparations we were releasing the trims to access the wheel arch liner, as well as the crud out fell four spent cartridges!D3 2.7 Zermatt silver (not another one)

Some will remember many years ago there was a stint of hiding beer cans/bottles within vehicles at group events unbeknown to their owners. There was at least one case I recall where stuff was not found literally for months.
Don't ever recall any time where stuff was hid behind wheel arches though. Does any of the 'elder' members on here recall any different?Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
