Such a shame the Disco dies a death but good news that you're mobile again. See you in The Lakes if not sooner

AKA Mr cool...
your a tratter man now mate..:clap2:
Following on from this thread (sorry only a recent member) looks like you had a lucky escape last year, hope you are well and that your new project comes together.
Part of my work is flood warning and the other part training Fire guys etc in Swiftwater rescue.
This is a perfect example of getting caught out by relatively benign looking conditions by the sound and is exactly the kind of thing i have to explain many times when delivering courses!
Paul, would you be happy for me to PM you regarding some further information regarding the incident?
Further to this I am going to look into the possibility of having my details added to the LZIR page as I may have skills to offer for recoveries from water in future.

like you say, belongings can be replaced but life can't. glad your ok. hope you get it recovered.
Eh up Paul, great news you got yerse'n a tratter, nothing like a fresh start to boost enthusiasm!
Sorry to lose you from the disco club though
Well .. I still have the Disco, it's now more a long term project. Something like a 100" trialler/ccv/winch challenge 'thing' will emerge at some point ..
The Defender's given me a right kick to get it sorted quickly and some inspiration to do something with, rather than scrap, the Disco.

Not so much the flat tyre, but the comments following it!
Strangely enough, my O/S front tyre had also deflated overnight... Pumped it back up, drove to work, took the wheel off at lunchtime and could not see anything untoward in the tread. It has been fine since (2 days now). I did notice that the valve has a bit of a "hair trigger", I gently nudged it with the dustcap and it started leaking... Seems OK after a good blast of air out of it

Heh, just took it off and it's only the bead needs re-sealing. Not enough time to do it now, back to work in a few minutes, but it'll get done tonight or tomorrow.
I was hoping it was the valve .. Now I'll have to use the Hi-lift and manual labour to re-seat it

Hairspray .. Used to use it to seat handlebar grips on Enduro bikes .. when I had knees ..
Vulcanises the rubber slightly, makes it slightly softer, slightly stickier, but I ain't ever tried it on vehicle tyres before, so it's gonna be a test.
Juliet doesn't know who's hairspray .. suffice to say, my hair is short ..
