water everywhere by Chris87 on Wed Jan 01, 2014 4:25 pm
Hi guys just wanted to know if it is only mine or if everyone else's frontera does it.
When I go through a puddle you have to make sure the wipers are On as the water blinds you as it covers the whole screen.
Thanks Chris.

Mine does it, like a sunami every time. Can be inconvenient not to see where you are trying to go.

With the current weather and the councils complete fail in repairing potholes it's a usefull feature.... Works really well when passing anti-social drunks Yellow watering in the hedge on the way home.... and chavs in stupid little novas trying to deafen the county with their chavvy sound system at full chat (even more so if their window is open)
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Re: water everywhere by Big Dav on Wed Jan 01, 2014 8:16 pm
One cure, fit floor mats to the front bumper to hang ahead of but not too long that they hit the tyre and it may help.
Those of us who remember driving pre mid 1970's motors suffered this all the time. Front spoiler leading edges to the modern designs prevent the big frontal splash.
I prefer the better approach angle and big splash rather than stuffing the front valance into an embankment.
