Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
Yeah I went to cowm mate
very windy but a great day - I got stuck proper once or twice - one time in a gully had to do a ray mears and stone a fence post into the ground to make a ground anchor to winch off
I was looking out for the plate in your screen but didn't spot it, but I did see a disco with a bent passenger door, and I thought "ooo, that looks painful"
anyway yah, new steering box was a bargain for 35 quid, nice condition one too and only a tiny tiny leak, which I can easily fix with my new seal kit Cos it's an easy one to get to.
Glad you had a good day, off road days are what I primarily use the disco for, and all the rest of the time I'm welding or repairing it!
cheers!

Yeah that was me with the bent passenger door! which proves that i do need rock sliders!! haha i only got stuck once but it was a school boy error and ended up grounded out on a little hill had to get people to rock me so i could reverse of the ledge and as i did i bent my rear quarter nothing to baad tho.... chequer plates orderd now so that will cover the damage, rot and watever ugly bits that are on the bottom half.......... is yours the green v8? i seen a green v8 stuck up the top bit near the begining as i was playing in the deep sludge....

hi mate
yeah thats probably me.
i spent a long time working my way down a long gulley, near the entrance yeah iirc.
i got futher down the gulley than anyone else (no recent tyre tracks) due to stubbornness, persistence and momentum but then eventually got hella stuck further down it, which required some pretty excessive reversing by a helpful disco owner, who had to reverse up the hill and down the other end of the gulley so i could winch off him. the winch wire was at full extension, any closer and we'd all have been stuck
the deep section on the top of that brow area is good fun, but you really need a mate to constantly tug you out.
perhaps we could team up next time, it's much better if you can easily get recovery!!
cheers, sam.
