I'm only saying as I have an enduro bike I ride/race and green lane on, it also does a lot of river crossing and I know the effects it has on everything, the water gets into places and just sits and rusts away. Even salt free normal river water ruins the bikes, washes the grease out of everywhere.

Good heads up to check though.

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

Had to get a new tyre fitted yesterday - a piece of flint had gone in through the shoulder and punctured it (typically just the place on the tread that can't be repaired and the tyre only a few months old).

I noticed that the tyre chap used an air tool to undo the nuts. These are the new nuts fitted last week. When I got home I noticed that one of the nuts on that wheel now has a loose cover. So that's one example of air tool damage.

He did use a torque wrench to do the nuts up. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
