    Best if you wet the area as well before applying the gel

    Be careful close to bone no more than 1w, 3-4 mins

    Always leave 4hrs between treatments

    They are good tools on muscle repair imho

    Some prefer to laser as they say that lasers only reduce swelling dont

    Actually help repair muscle like ultrasound do

    I work for BMW in Kings Lynn mate, if you ever need any help or advice with it let me know. As for transmissions being prone, that is not the case. Transfer boxes can be temperamental if service intervals are not maintained but as far as the Auto gearboxes themselves, we don't change any more or less than on other Auto models.

     

    Just be prepared for the rear tyres to break the bank. Tyres seem to wear prematurely on the inner edges. This is more so the case if you have run flat tyres fitted. Make sure you check pressures regularly as we have seen customers go through a pair of rear tyres on those in 6 months due to low pressures.

     

    At around £300 a tyre it is in your interest to check pressures every couple of weeks :laugh:

     

    One other important thing others have not mentioned. With the BMW X-drive system, if you use tyres that are not matching and not BMW approved (have a star on the side wall) they can seriously damage your transfer box. I do not know how this sits with non genuine rims and A/T tyres but customers have had to pay thousands on new transfer boxes as they decided to go for cheapo tyres. It is complicated to explain but the 4 wheel drive system bmw uses is more electrical than mechanical and if it miscalculates wheel rotation or wheel slip due to different tyre tread patterns, it will try to compensate for this causing vehicle jerking and clonking whilst driving and ultimately knackering your transfer box in the long run.

     

    Other than that they are fantastic 4wd vehicles, although must admit a suzuki jimny will probably be more suited for off roading :icon_redface:

  25. Which Altberg Boots?

    in Hunting Boots & Clothing

    Posted

    As the title says, going to buy a pair of altbergs sometime this week, the warrior seem to be the ones to get but what is the difference between aqua and non aqua? And microlite and also the cheapest place to get them of course, any help appreciated

    Depends what you want from your boot whether you hunt

    On hill, field or fen? There's lots of variation in the altberg boots

    From the ultra light sneakers to the more rugged boots like the gamekeeper

    And high moor

    I wanted a high boot with good support

    Also waterproof so I went for the stark extreme
