No not done much really only had the van 3weeks and 2 of those it had dodgy slave and clutch.
And I'm sure I will wear a few bits out while playing.
But my dig was a defensive reflex against my freelander

So not an attack on you personally mate just a friendly dig back as discos, ranges and defenders all seem to off the road more than off roading

back in one piece (ish).....
On the way back I noticed a very bright spot on the tarmac just in front. Cool I thought, the fog lights that I removed and put in the shed have are working??????

Got out to find the headlight pointing down :doh:
Pushed it back into place and it stayed there all the way home. I'll have a look on Saturday.

Nice evening. The lanes are now VERY hard and I've washed my carpets again @ Terling.
I hope newbourne isn't as hard or someone (not me please) will break something.

Nice to met you Spike. Hopefully see you again on a daylight trip. Give it another month and it'll be light until 9ish

Just got back from a good evening out bouncing around some "voies vertes" with DiscoDad.

Thanks dude, it was great - my spine may tell me otherwise tomorrow!

Thought I had just got away with a dipped beam bulb blown and probably a few more scratches to the paint work, but it appears I've also lost my passenger side bumper cap :doh:

Let's hope there's a little more rain before I go out next!

Good easter is a good ford for deep and short.Could be a good snorkel test venue?

Cheers, I didn't know that one existed, just found it on Street view.
I'll be trying that one soon

But i need to find out where the water is getting in and more importantly get the soundproofing out.

Thinking about cutting the carpet in a way that the footwell sections can be removed before laning / fording

Spike, I think thats what your previous owner has done, would explain all the loose sections of carpet.
The clip I took was only short and very poor quality, blinded by your lights

Thanks for the clip dude - front light seems to be working in the clip - guess it was the bump out of the ford that did it! Wonder if my bumper end cap is there too?

I think it will be!
Just watched the clip back and thats when your light failed. you can see the illumination go out as you bump up the step.

Co-Pang-Yang · Apr 13, 2011

Well got the engine and box out of mine tonight and now have a mildly bent slam panel to prove it.
Bloody wiring loom is a nightmare, cause there isn't a plug between the engine bay and dash I had to feed all the wires from around the engine as we took it out.
Back to work again tomorrow so only gonna be able to do bits a bobs for now, but hoping to get the engine, gearbox and transfer box split tomorrow then clean the replacement engine and box on Thursday.

It might have been a bit of water splashing about in there or maybe just a dickie connection??

Looks good though.

Geoff, those look ideal

Give me a shout when they turn up and i will nick them off you if you dont mind

Was out last Tuesday night and the lanes are very hard at the moment, dried out really quickly
