Adam - The Explorer
Non-University educated, Male Explorer with a unique personality.
I explore when I can afford it, after putting in hours driving a bus.
I predominantly drive green lanes but participate in some walking/other types of Exploring/Adventure too.

So to add to my misfortune I've been electricuted by a spark plug today, I went out to halfords to look to see if they had a scooter battery, they didn't, half way home I thought how about a new spark plug, went back and no they don't apparently it's a rare one! Called a motor cycle shop they had one, a 17 mile drive in the duster 2 and I arrived, they don't have one! They showed me when they search it gives a different plug so they assumed they had one!![]()

Oh and look at those scratches from fitting the aluminium skid plate 🤬![]()

Oh and I still can't work out how to tighten up the front bolts of the skid plate without taking all the ball ache stuff back off again 🤬🤬🤬
I'm not so sure how the cars going to respond when the mud is forced through the gaps where it is mounted and the lettering, the off side mount I can't secure properly but the nut on the top part hidden behind wheel arch is a lock but so I guess it won't just fall off a#duster3e#AdventureInDaciad#greenlaningi#explorel#daciaduster4x4##exploringr#adventurer#greenlaneassociatonn#4x4a#greenlane##DaciaDustern#greenlanest#daciauknlanes #daciauk
This is a real page, with real problems not over dramatised, I work full time and have next to NO mechanical skills, I came into this to advertise that a brand that had no support for green laning in could do exactly what other well known 4x4's could do, this page was the Dacia Duster Explorers but I made the most content so I thought let's change it and give a bit more detail into my life, with some non dacia stuff in between. When I pay out a fortune for a new car I'm well entitled to moan about certain aspects of it!! AND whether you want to see that or not that's upto to you, I'm just speaking out a loud and telling you my thoughts. Sorry for those I offend with my moaning, for those looking for amazing Duster content, you'll see some but you'll also see when it doesn't work out! Stay or go it's your choice, I earn nothing from this!
I literally lost the will to live, N4 Offroad supply awful basic instructions that on a lunch break disentigrated when I mistakenly forgot to weight it down again and it drifted into a puddle! On the rear of the instructions is a basic hard to to see 'draft' print of the underside of the car, it shows the 6 brackets in a rough location 2 at the front and 4 at the rear the 4 at the rear sit on top of the frame but in the image it shows them 90° to the front yet they go above a hole in the frame and in different postions and the bolts go through to them but the issue I had was getting them in postion and holding them in place to get the bolt to bite into them.![]()

There's probably a mechanics way to do things but alas I am not so talented so I gave up on the 'how to video' as I spent hours trying to secure the bolts into the brackets, my front bumper plastic is scratched to death with the constant movement of the cut out letters scratching the 💩out of it as I had to keep making adjustments.![]()

Then I realised it has no sump hole, I'm hoping the dealership put it back on at it's first service!![]()

I wasnt going to tell you just yet but I'm so tramatised I had to tell someone...![]()

I'll post a picture tomorrow it's not 100% bang on its out by a few ml's so not central the only problem I have now is I couldnt couldn't secure the front bots fully as you need to keep them loose to make minor adjustments because the brackets attached to them at the front can go in many ways so you need them loose to line everything up, It started raining and I was in pain from all the hard work and holding the guard up for hours! infact I feel quite sick!![]()

I'll look to see if I can access them tomorrow when I get back home early then its on to the scooter which I still have no clue what I'm doing and cant afford to ship it somewhere to fix it yet as it'll probably beed to go to a dealer and thats 25 miles away!![]()

I highly suggest you do this with a friend and probably on a platform and not on ramps becuase it will make it so much easy... I think![]()

oh and the felt that covers the duster underneath is only held on with plastic trim clips the first one that gets ripped off i'll probably stop exploring all together becuase there looks to be NO protection for the pipes etc that run to the back#exploringe#GreenLaningUKd#AllNewDustero#daciaduster4x4![]()
