Hi,

My relations in Australia, mentioned the same problem.

The only answer is, get a good jetwasher,

In fact I really enjoy getting the jetwasher out and cleaning ours.

  I agree with you about the bits being susceptible to foreign object =
damage.

  There is however another issue which needs to be considered before =
fitting guards, but it probably doesn't affect Germany.  In regions like =
Australia and South Africa where there are large areas of savannah =
grasses the shields themselves become problems.  What happens is that =
while travelling the grass gets caught up under the guards, dries out =
and heats up with engine and exhaust temps.  This heated grass matting =
frequently gets to ignition temp and the vehicle burns.

  Over the years, many of the Japanese makes of 4x4 have had guards in =
various places the Mitsubishi and Nissan in particular.  To prevent this =
loss of the vehicle many dealers and owners remove the guards before =
delivery.

  The series 2 and later vehicles solved the problem by moving the =
pedals and switches.=20

  Hello List,

  I=B4m not very happy with the fact, that the steering column/pedals =
with shafts/springs and the brake light switch is very open for =
mud/stonesweping/wood etc.
  Has someone tried to build a protection shield, maybe like a =
particular inner wing, metal or rubber and can post me his thoughts, =
construction or pics ?

  Uli
