The Disco is stuck fast.
Was taking the 'normal' short cut home. And bam hit a puddle the dropped it to the axel's.
Had to walk 1hr home to pick up a spade and 1hr back. The 30mins digging it out.
For the normal 25yo. This would be nothing but with my chest and climbing a flight of stairs rendering me on the floor i am fvcked.

Got it out.

But this is on top of blowing a valve, having a puncture.

2hrs later.

Had just got it out and it sunk again!!! This time upto both axels. Desperately need bed and sleep. But have to dig it out again!!!

Hi

Do not drive forwards when stuck , only drive backwards that way you will not drive forwards into the unknown, and possibly more trouble.

When you reverse out you reverse back on to terrain you have just been able to drive over, ie firmer ground so you should be able to get out easier as you are driving over terrain you already know the condition of.

I did try reversing out. But it was well and truly stuck. Even in low range it was just spinning. And to top it off one of my valves is leaking big time. So need to get that sorted too.
