Hey there, there's 4 of us in Braintree/Witham now (me, Brian, Jon, RJW90)

A few of us went out on Monday

Keep an eye on the thread, for our next outing (it will probably be one evening during the week)

Yeah I saw you went out Monday but I was working during the day. Would prob be an evening I'd tag along. But I'll definitely keep an eye out thanks.

Right I have left Nick these ropes to find in my garden lol. All correct amounts but a couple are different colours. Tuskenraider I think you have 3 orange and 2 black as I ran out of orange!

Good luck breaking them is all I can say!!!!

Thanks again for sorting the ropes into labelled bags.
I'll keep you posted on a laning day, would be good to meet up.

Tusken, If you prefer white to the black let me know as I'm not too fussed about the colour. I may have to go down to Basildon next Tuesday if your about I could drop them in.

Those going to Wales next week, I'll take them with me and sort out money for old rope then.
I've got the ropes in the car and maybe coming home via Braintree tomorrow afternoon in case anyone needs them urgently.

Hey, I've been following this thread for a while now. I live in the Braintree area. I have a 2.5 td 90. Mostly basic but a few add ons. Would love to come out with you guys at some time but always seems as though I'm busy on the days you go out. But hopefully I'll be able to tag along if that's ok.

Anyway just thought I'd say hello.

Hi & welcome,

Another 90..... I'm going to start getting really jealous soon.
I havent been out on the Essex lanes for a good few weeks.
Hopefully after Wales should be organising an evenings laning.

Cheers Nick.

Well new rear pads and a used brake servo from Matt and Stu and the Landy stops again, not exactly on a six pence but a ****e side better than it was.

Are you going to the gathering tomorrow night Nick? We could sort some out then to save you carrying them about all week.

I might be home about 6ish otherwise if your coming through Braintree then.

landroverjack · Nov 11, 2011

No worries. If you know anyone else who needs ropes I will flog them for £5 each unless they are already on lz. Still bloody cheap. Could pick some more up from CharlesY as I am going back soon I hope.

Thats Great news Chris, I am glad we could be of use.

Once me have the workshop sorted, the repair and wales out they way we will be looking at getting a couple more breakers in and also renting out workshop space for those that would like to keep dry and out of the elements... so keep you eyes on here.

Yes, other wise water can get into the bell housing and do all sorts of damage.
not expensive and they just screw in.

Have you deffo not got them in, seems strange as the guy you bought it off has put all the kit on it, why would he not spend a couple of quid on plugs.

He forgot to do the transfer & gearbox breathers, and there's no breather manifold, just the 2 air pipes that go into the flexihose and in to snorkel! It's seems to have been sealed with something brown! Lol

I've just looked, there's a hole in the bottom of my gearbox! I guess that's where a plug should go lol

djguy · Nov 11, 2011

£3 for 2 plugs --thank u eBay--

I got fed up with trying to seal them up so I drilled a hole in the bottom of my light assemblys to let the water out. lol
Don't forget to turn your lights off before you swim.
I'm not talking about little puddles here.
