2 landies? one towing. One behind you to act as a braking vehicle?
What could possibly go wrong?
Suspected bottom end failure

Yu will have brakes. Just no servo, so they will be very hard.

The AA are on the way out.
My uncle has AA.
Will see what they can do. Only have basic cover so might not be enough to get to a garage?
Cheers for the responses all looks like a bar might be a good purchase!!!

+1 Effectiveness not compromised but amount of effort required is multiplied a few times

I made one. Fitted tow ball onto front bumper and then length of scaffolding pole with tow hitch at both ends.

Are ya sure it int the crankshaft damper thats gone. Does sound awfully similar
If ya can move the fan by hand 45 to 90 degrees I'd say that were it. N.B. you can do this with the engine off

The disco is at the garage.
It's not mine it's my uncles.
It sounds buggered. But it sounds like it's running ok. If that makes sense. It's a deep thumping sound. With the sound more noticeable through the air box pipe?

We're thinking possibly a valve?
Though, Bizzarely it ran fine just before it stopped. We went and head breakfast then it was making this noise? :boom:

Sorry fellas. I was on exercise with my Squadron.
I hope that your landy is fixed soon.

This is how mine sounded when the conrod nuts came loose, thus knackered big ends. I wouldn't say it was a deep sound, very sharp and metallic.

Sounds nothing like that. It's a much deeper sound, With no metalic rattle?
