Late update, but glad everyone enjoyed essex off road was a great day out!!

Think Chris got a load of pics, still fixing bits on the landy. managed to destroy a trailing arm chassis bush so has 2 inches of wheel movement for half the day, wore my front pads to nothing, destroyed a diff cross pin and wreck the diff and in the process snap the splines clean off my front passenger half shaft somehow and put a hole in my front diff pan.

And passenger side top swivel pin is wrecked.

apart from that its all good, and im slowly getting my way through the repairs lol.

Supprized you managed to get home under your own steam with that list of damage was a good day thou even with all the breakages, still arguing with the supplier of my clutch, they really don't want to replace under warranty and are dragging their heals but as it only did 3.5k I am not going to give up

Come on then chris where's all those pics ya got

Who supplied it? Beck & Borg will replace under warranty no problem, I had the rep guarantee me this the other week, the supplier has no choice in the matter, it needs to go to B&B and they will sort it out. Its clearly a failure of the clutch plates...

Was supplied by mailoder4x4, keep getting excuses from them, they are now saying that they are awaiting bearmach to make a decision although I don't understand what it has to do with them , next call I make to them this afternoon if they dont call me back will be a threat to plaster the issues I'm having with them on all the lr forums which won't be good for business, I know it's only a £100 but the point is it comes with a 2 year unlimited mileage guarantee so I'm not going to give up

Well decided to give bearmach a call as mail order 4x4 quoted they needed to make the decision,i explained that I felt like they where fobbing me off and what had been happening, within 5mins of getting off the phone to bearmach I had a call from mail order 4x4 saying they are shipping a new item out and will be sending a courier to collect the old one happy days

That 3rd picture looks very familier, I believe I have suffered the same there

And that drop on the 4th is a killer, did you do it? I left that one in my disco, I did see a RRC end up on its side and spill all its oil into the pool at the bottom before...
