Ellison Adventures

Ellison Adventures

Outdoor adventures taking on new challenges and looking at some interesting car builds whilst currently using my own modified Dacia Duster 4x4.

Overlanding to places throughout the UK and sometimes further and taking in some views while I am there.

Constantly adding to the Duster and also have some other vehicles in my garage that are being modified to go and explore.

Hope to add more in future and taking on new adventure and challenges.

Check out on Instagram @Ellison_adventures for previous adventures and recent activity.

    Got one from new 71 plate , due to work cutbacks no use of the pool cars so have had to use duster to get to different locations in the UK so clocked up 98k , its been reliable, excellent mpg it has everything I need and more , sat nav, Bluetooth, had it regularly serviced using dacia parts , oil etc,all in all I would not hesitate on getting a new one, it's diesel all I have to do is fill it up and add blue , well done dacia

    D'ya mind me asking where abouts you're from/located? I'm looking to buy one of these and would also like a couple of mods, I'm in Wigan. I'm a huge fan of the steels that come on the access rather than the alloys of the laureate. Is a lift kit necessary to accommodate the mud tyres? I also love the tyre noise 👍

  • @EllisonAdventures
    @EllisonAdventures Жыл бұрын

    Hi pal, I’m also in Wigan. The lift kit isn’t needed for the mud tyres I just did that to increase ground clearance for green lanes and also the option to put bigger tyres on later. The steel wheels I have are tuff torque as mine is a laureate and has the alloys but obviously they will break if you hit something on a lane.
