I was invited to go to the Windermere by Kankku the off road driving and adventure company, as they had just bought 3 Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajeros and wanted to have the same type of pedestrian friendly frontal protection as the 3 Land Rovers they already had.
I advised them that they needed to be sure that the FPS that they chose was to the new approved EU standard, (2005/66/EC) this they already understood as they had been reading the information on this web site.
After looking at the limited offerings currently on the market which are EU approved, they chose the Endura FPS as it offered better pedestrian protection than the low bars. They thought that covering all areas of pedestrian protection important and as the other bars did not do this, therefore Endura FPS’s were the product of choice.
They then took me on a 3 hour off road drive through the fantastic Lake District countryside. (I would recommend that if you do decide to go there take a friend, as it is very hard to concentrate on driving the tough terrain and enjoy the fantastic views).
Nick at Kankku takes safety very seriously and that is why all of his vehicles have frontal protection to provide maximum safety for the community he operates in.
