My friend in Ardleigh just contacted me, her house is completely flooded and still rising, up to kitchen draw level, fire brigade supplying sandbags but can't pump it out at the moment as the water is still coming in :(


working in Ardleigh today saw quite a few drains with water gushing out the wrong way, where abouts is this flooding? may take a drive there when i finish

Colchester road, fireman been in to pump out but have given up as nowhere to pump water to.
 
road up framlingham, debenham are shut due to flooding... I may just go for aplay tonight as they are just down the road, but depends what i feel like, I am up that way tomorrow night so may have a look on the way to see Belinda
 
It's a joke isn't it! My friends house in Ardleigh has been lightened of 12000 gallons by four water tankers...now on the fifth tanker. Blocked storm drain apparently.....

Well that's her and her three kids and chocolate lab homeless. Oh and there's a hosepipe ban in her area. :(
 
:eek: drawer level?? :faint2:

That's what I thought until she sent me this.....still, lots of Landy fun to be had in that area surely? :rolleyes:

Well the heads back on, almost all back together, waiting on my rad to turn up tomorrow and all done, oh yeah gotta do tappets, forgot my feeler gauges today so will do them tomorrow and then it will be wading time, if it starts that is!!!
 
There is this one, its pricey but no doubt a pucka setup

TERRAFIRMA TD5 ECU RELOCATION EXTENSION LOOM DISCOVERY 2 & DEFENDER TD5 - TFEL052 - Defender 90/110 Parts & Discovery 2 Parts

Personally I think I would make my own, it would be quite time consuming and you will need to make sure all the connections are top notch but its fairly easy, would cost less than £50 but would mean you lose all the colour coding on the cables... (unless you buy 30 different colour reels!!)

Same thing MHM makes, only his are around £200 mark from memory. Will get one soon buts its difficult to warrant that money at the moment,

Deffo agree of warranting the ££ but if it is going to save a lot more ££ then it is worth it. I'd like to know how you get on with it as TD5 will be my choice if i do swap the disco.
 
Another fun evening yesterday. I know mikey and chris got a load of pics and vids, but heres my media from yesterday. Most are vids so click on the pic to run them:
