Ok, been a busy day. Took it for its first outing and it went ok. Managed to get it well and truly stuck. Even on 33s bogged in down to the bumper!
Status report
Tyres - impressed so far
Rocklobster - working well
Engine - good
Temp sensor - wire snapped off
Electrics - not waterproof
Gearbox - leaking
Brakes sticky / seized
Power steering - leaking / loose pipe
Front brakes have finally been serviced. New slides and seals.

Its pretty much all the same colour
The problems aren't too bad, i've stuck a clean piece of card under it to see how much it leaks over night.
As said brakes are done. PAS just needs a banjo bolt tightening. Gearbox seal is gonna biggest pain in the arse. Not a hard job by all accounts just a bit of a mess on.
