      I just (today) did a lot of extreme off-roading in my non-modified, heavily loaded 2WD Renault Kangoo maxi 😂
      The thing is an absolute beast, although I will do another check of my underside again 😅
      Absolutely amazing that is.
      I was forced to turn back after the hiking trail I was on had alternating rocks that were over 3 foot high in a corner in a dip with an incline of 65°-75° after it, on a piece of track that was not 2 inches wider than my car's tires (not even the outside, at some points, I would have had to hang over the edge of the hill with half my tire at some points.)
      Remember also this was in the corner (90° corner)
      I would have definitely beached my van on those rocks, and if not gone over the edge and be forced to roll back off the cliff.
      But hey, at least I had 2 great off-road adventures today.
      One around noon, and one in the dark this evening, on the track I'm watching this video from in my cozy bed.
      Much love from the outbacks of Spain, it was a blast watching you guys ❤
      Also very funny that I only found this entire series today and just watched it all. (I didn't even search for off roading stuff)

      I don't understand why people still make such a big deal of the K Series head gaskets 20+ years on. Provided the head hasn't been warped from overheating, a competent DIY mechanic can have the gasket changed in under a day for about £100.
      There's plenty of examples of flawed engines from companies that had much larger R&D budgets. Ford Ecoboost wet belts, JLR Ingenium, Cadillac Northstar, BMW S65/S85 bearings etc.
