I told you it's a giant sandpit. Your motor will be forever stained sandy beige after Sunday.
And Jon will get to change his alternator afterwards

My Disco 1 got ten tonne of abuse over bures. Never damaged a thing other than a steering rod!

I never found any damage or wear I could put down to bures. Just make sure you clean the truck soon after and don't run around with sand in your important bits.
A few fast runs through the water before leaving helps and there is a car wash in braintree you could use. £1 for 3 minutes of high power jet wash does wonders.

Cant put any wear down to Bures in total, but it deff increases acceleration of the wear in the brake pads, and since i replaced my last 2 alternator that went wrong after going to Bures during and shortly after,
The last alternator I have not needed to replace it.

It just looked lonely sat there and I'd have hated to think it would be scrapped if I didn't take it

Wait until sunrise and look out the window, I'd expect it would look exactly as it does now

My guess' in order of likely hood.
A fender.
Another Disco breaker.
Or new shinny toys for Wales.
Hope the new quarter panel goes on OK.
I'll be tearing up a laminate floor and removing kitchen units what fun.
And I've lost my TV to Strictly come bog off the TV's mine.
