Not sure where that wrangler is "laning". Violents lane doesnt look too bad with all the rain weve had. How deep was it in the worst bits?

Had an excellent days laning yesterday, thanks for doing the route Mikey, was some very fun lanes in it. No one got stuck all day even with me sliding into a ditch that was deeper than it looked! Violets was good fun, could of prehaps enjoyed a bit more water in it but 4ft was enough to make me smile whilst driving through

Only incident of the day was my alternator packed up on the way home, my headlights were terrible so it was another drive home with the spot lights on!

Heres a short video of Dunmow ford, was the only one I took all day

looks like a good day was had by all, as others have said violets lane don't look that bad after all the rain we have had,

UKJeeper · Dec 31, 2012

Joined up just to say that i saw you guys yesterday! You passed me on the byway from Broctons Farm to Hamperden End (lone walker with dog standing beside track, only appeared to be a 'bobbly hat', i'm actually not!

There were only only 4 vehicles by then, including the TJ. Is he a local, or just visiting?

Do you often get out, and accept 'other vehicles' on your trips?

Just one of the lanes we did.

matthew2riches · Dec 31, 2012

Nick, with it being a bigger land rover now - it needs more mud to get it as dirty!

Also, did you find those wheel nuts i left with you when we went to Wales? I need them to drive my Landy

Drizz · Jan 1, 2013

Does anyone know if there is a catalogue for the Discovery, along the same lines as retroanaconda (Land Rover One Ten / Defender 110 Parts Book - Land Rover Technical Blog) has for the Defender?

Co-Pang-Yang · Jan 1, 2013

Well I'm Land Rover-less once more. Defender should be at its new home in Canterbury by now.

wickford90 · Jan 1, 2013

did you get what you hoped for it.

Co-Pang-Yang · Jan 1, 2013

I was happy with the money yes. Give me enough to get another Disco, a few bits for it and some spare change.

Tuskenraider · Jan 1, 2013

Took mine out today for its first drive since June, got about 500yds up the road and came home. Grinding noise from the rear, hoping its a wheel bearing but it could be the diff
