Hahaha I think it's incredible what you can get away with when fixing a landy. Any of these new cars and you'd never get home. Still be stuck at the side of the road pulling stupid bits of plastic trim off haha
 
There is definitely a theme going on here!
It seems to me that cable ties, nail varnish, ratchet straps, and sticks are a must have for roadside repairs!!

Some fantastic stories coming here! Keep 'em coming! They're brilliant!

He's just baught the truck of a dogey guy in wales without having a proper look underneith as it looked so tidy on the outside kitted up for offroading already,
Took it out and his mate got stuck, he had to do abit of a snatch and looked like both sides of the chassis just before it kinks up by the back wheels had rotted out,
Heard a good bang and the tub was holding the two halfs chassis together lol,
Got his money back from the guy he baught off so had a happy ending haha
