Did you make the chequer plate bumper protector? It looks good.Couldn't get the Freelander in today to fit the new bushes. So fitted some chequer plate beneath the sills and tarted up the tow bar.
That's taking fly tipping to extremes Mike

"You know how it is, sometimes, on occasions, these things happen. I'm now going to retrieve the 'jack' from the boot and beat the livin' sh1t out of that stupid tw0t, with the ridiculous moronic haircut that thinks it's funny to take a snap shot on his crappy 'phone, to share it with his effing moronic mates. because nothing more interesting will happen in his sad life tomorrow"

When the recovery man turned up, he just looked at it and said "your going to need a crane".PPS
You have to admire the way the Police Tape keeps the car from falling!
It was financial write off as soon as it left the road Mike.When the recovery man turned up, he just looked at it and said "your going to need a crane".
Write off, springs to mind

The concern was the wall the guys leaning on. Old and in need of replacement. I dont think the distance and height shows up very well in the photo. It would probably have destroyed what's left of the bin store and the wall would have collapsed.It was financial write off as soon as it left the road Mike.
I'd have just hooked a set of Brother's to the rear trailing arms and winched it back the way it came. It's completely unnecessary to use a crane for that recovery.
At least its one thing off the list although it has highlighted the need for a brak fluid change as the abs block sounds a bit noisey,
Sounds like you have been having fun
Regarding the ABS noise - definitely a sign of the fluid in a very bad way - I posted about this about 6 months ago but it is lost in the mists of time - you should hear the dull thumps on the wheel circuits but not a knock or loud noise. It really knackers up the ABS mod. Combination of moisture, degraded fluid and air pockets (from the water content when hydraulically compressed).
It is strongly advisable (indeed absolutely necessary IMO) to change the brake fluid every 2 years regardless of mileage. Also, definitely DO use the HDC from time to time, doesn't even need to be steep, just a decline. This exercises the abs modulator valves, pump unit etc. Strongly recommend exercising the unit every month or two for 10 seconds (just find a small slope - tarmac is fine! - and kick in hdc). In a lot of situations it is simply sat their idle for often a year or more. Any loud noises indicate brake fluid urgent change needed. Make sure they do a FULL change- get rid of all the old cra&p completely.
Hope you had a good time away !

We won't believe you without pics.Sorry no pics, but being a new hipppo 1 owner, today I removed the prop and replaced both bearings. On the road..no ramps. Did use a very handy curb outside my house though
