Hi all :)

quick intro,

I am 33, from UK. I drive a L200(Triton) [url=http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/newl200/key_features.asp?strCar1=OL0]Raging Bull[/url], AT tyre's, snorkel and rock sliders are fitted at the moment. I am a casual off-roader as there is no outback to play in.

Rather talk Rugby, HC.....8-) 8-)

Darren, took me as long to clean under mine, too.
Left a massive pile of mud at the jetwash but ran out of time to clean the bodywork properly.

Can't see you having a problem with the warranty, afterall we were at a Mitsubishi event ;)

don't think it had anything to do with going off-road, took tensioner off to look, spotless except for burnt/melted look
