We can chat about Landy's all the way to Wales, just bring a :director: so i can hear you

Thanks for offer this weekend, but I'm taking some more sold bits off this Disco and more building work in the garden

I do have a big list of todo's before Wales.
Main items:
Recovery points
sort out the violent shaking when i hit 50 mph (only since i fitted the 265/70/16's).
Snorkel
Ext breathers.
Fit the CB radio.
Get the temp gauge working.
Would like to get the ext dampers / dislocation cones, but i doubt thats going to happen.

Stop talking and get on with it then :blabla: :lvkiss-106:

How about the 20:00 at Fowlers Farm?
The Fowler's Farm in Braintree - Pub Home & About Us
Once we are done I might have a quick drive of the Coggeshall lanes. About time i checked the 110 over.

We would love to go on the trip, but can't afford it this time.

Can we still join you for a drink though? Promise we won't disturb your planning chat, then we can join Nick on the coggeshall lanes.

Nick, can you bring the oil dipstick tube (engine oil) and vacuum pump with you, and will PayPal be ok again as I'm already skint this month.

Ooh I'll possibly come for a beer, be rude not to (besides I will keep Brian company when your all planning ya stuff)
Unfortunatly I won't be able to come to Wales cos of work, so I will just look at videos on YouTube .(

All booked up, the owners on holiday at the moment so just waiting to see what the deposit will be. It sleeps 9/10 but this includes two double beds and there are 9 going ?
Sort it out at the pub on wednesday.

Before I bite the bullet and spend £50 on a hi lift jack - does anyone have one they want to sell me?
(Geoff - I've asked my farmer if he had one he wanted to give me with the waffle boards and he said "No" lol) - sorry I said I would buy your waffle boards and then got some for free

Your a god damn tease Guy, promise me the earth then **** off to your farmer friend, thats it we're finished.

Speak to Stu he had one as he's not been out for ages might want to sell.

Hahaha! Ouch - you know what these farmer folk are like! (No one seems to know where/what has happened to the big fella!

I just brought one off fleabay! (£25) second hand of course, but it's only gonna be used if I get a flat tyre, if I'm out on my own! (When I'm with you guys - I'll get someone else to change it for me

If he gets a puncture we should all bugger off and leave him to it then. :lol:

I think the etiquette is to get stuck in and help.
I remember Wales last year:

All drinking tea and eating biscuits.

I will be there on wednesday, I have downloaded the walews maps and been looking at the lanes, there not as easy to spot as they are over here...

Well deal has been done and the Disco will soon have a new owner in exchange for a very tidy MK3 Golf GTi Colour Concept

Part of the deal is I change the head gasket for him and I have a question on that.
Do I need to remove the valves on the 300tdi head to have it skimmed or can I get away with just the glow plugs?

Valves out, the run proud of the head iirc, towlers will do it for you though...

Ok fair enough, I can take them out myself to save on labour.
