On Friday I fitted a CB bracket to the spare wheel and wired in my CB, then went green laning around 9pm in the dark with my bro and his 110, I got stuck and had to get towed out of some very deep ruts.
On Saturday I built a shelf to go in the boot for my french bulldog to sit on, so I don't have to keep taking all my kit out when we take her for a road trip.
I have just ordered some new wheels and tyres this morning, ready for when I fit my 40mm lift kit from SES88 so hopefully I won't get stuck in the mud anymore when we go out for drive!
Why did you drive a "deeply rutted" lane?
After a trip to get my LPG serviced and being advised that the cambelt tensioner was kaput/rattling it got replaced and guess what the rattle was still there.
It only happens at about 2500 rpm sounds like a drumming /bearing ,anyway today we got her up on the 4 post lift and poked around in the engine bay and low and behold the bottom bolt holding the alternator had lost its nut and was bouncing in its housing.
It had worn the locking slot the bolt head fits in so when we tried to fit and tighten a new nut it just turned,much later with a bit of slim steel as a shim all is well and she's purring and smooth again. The moral of this tale is don't always trust the word of the Gas Monkey
and check the tightness of your nuts now and then ooooeeeerrrr missus!!!
Very happy after today's obsolete chasing day . Got this nice LR light kit, almost daylight robbery. Comes from 2002, virgin and not used . Direct from Spain.
Took it for my first drive in the snow.
How did your test drive go?
Very impressed. Admittedly, there was only 2 - 3 inches, but it was on the moorland so steep hills and drifts. It didn't put a wheel wrong and inspired confidence in the car's capabilities. I went off the road and climbed back on with no problems at all. Good fun
It'll be gone by this evening, the rain is going to clear it away.
You can't go more than thirty foot off the road either, but it was enough to let me have a play and test things out.
The army were up there live firing too, which limited the potential for exploring
