Essex lanes

I only cleaned inside. Inch of dust from last driving day!!

I got a few bits of multicore here if you want some for the S Socket. Only needs to be a short bit doesn't it? I needed a long bit so had to buy a roll.

AND I put brass plugs in today instead of the plastic ones

Been a busy soldier me

The dog guard is coming along nicely. Just needs a few more welds on in the morning then it'll be blasted and ready for paint

More could be said for the bearings o/s front though

Bures Pit - 8 May 2011

Here are a few snaps/video captures.

The first few are video caps - I just drove down this rutted and pitted decent (crashing and banging my underside as i went!), so filmed the next guys to come down.









This is what happens when you keep driving through the mud/cow ****:







Now Matthew, please pick your rattle and toys up and play nicely!!

I think Nick has some good action vids (I used all my memory card up pretty quickly!!)

Spike

Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Looked a good day by all the mud. And I do love a dollop of cow ****

Was there many people there?

It wasn't as busy as it looks on the youtube vids. You could get round quite easily - I guess the whole day (well, the 3.5 hours I was there), there were probably around 30 - 40 vehicles on and off.

It was a good day (beautiful sunshine) - the course was incredibly dry,with the exception of 4 or 5 mud holes - the course is probably a lot more nuts (and more chance of getting stuck) after a good dose of rain.

That **** is fooking hard to get off.
Went to Terling ford afterwards and powered through it to try and dislodge the concrete off my calipers (making an awful noise) and clear the radiator.

There were a few families at the ford who found it all amusing. With some good humour 'still not clean' etc. Their kids enjoyed the show.
But one of the dads did get wet feet. Standing at the end of the ford, I waited an age for him to move and then he waved me on. So i went.

Bow wave :bolt: but not in time. LOL.

Fixed the clutch problem fixed, had to drop the box to do it but its done now.
Front suspension back together and rear gearbox seal changed.
Hoping to get everything else finished before work tomorrow but we'll see how it goes.

Also got a brand new clutch slave cylinder and new 300tdi handbrake cable for sale if anyones interested.

I heard you the first time

Are we seeing you this weekend at the 4x4 show?

Hope so, gotta finish putting it back together and get it MOT'd first.

That will be a doddle Chris.

Anita is working Saturday Morning. I'll either bring both Sam and Emily or give it a miss this year. There will be other shows.

where have these ropes got to then??
