Do what we do with ours every Christmas week, go away in it!Hmm. I'm wondering what to do with the Land Rover over Christmas. As we know, all good Christmases are spent underneath a Land Rover but the problem is I don't seem to have any big jobs lined up. The brakes, swivel balls and wheel bearings were done just over a year ago, and a reconditioned gearbox was fitted last winter. The suspension bushes and shocks haven't been replaced for a few years but I can't detect any movement yet and they were clearly sufficient to satisfy the MOT man a couple of weeks ago. Dinitrol has been doing its job over the last few years so there wouldn't be much point replacing the rear cross member. The engine is still pretty sweet. I've never even had the head off. I haven't even needed to be brought home on a flatbed truck courtesy of the AA since August 2020. I'm completely at a loss. I can't for the life of me work out what's wrong with it.

(Not last year sadly, but usually the Dales, or somewhere else hilly and scenic, preferably with a bit of snow. Cornwall this year, unless Boris puts the Kibosh on it!)
Hee! Hee! Hee!That's a good idea. Really tempt fate by attempting a long journey when parts suppliers and garages are shut, the breakdown agencies are running the most meagre of skeleton services and there's an expensive hotel booking at the other end with no cancellation refund option. Surely that will induce a major malfunction. Maybe try and venture into territory which isn't covered by the Euro breakdown cover too. There's got to be a way of getting rid of this outlandish reliability.
Nice one.Found this in the local scrappy for £10, full working order, no leaks but no handle. Just needed a clean up.
Would have been useful last Saturday when I had a flat but ready for next time!
Seen them on eBay for £25 upwards so I'm happy.

What the hell is a ski station?Chugged down to the ski station, played for a few hours, then picked up a ton of stuff from the builder's merchants.
Came back up an icy 10% slope with not a single slip...
Noticed a tyre was a bit flat, tried to move the nuts with the 12" bar..no chance
Tried with the 24" bar...no chance.
Tried with the 24" bar and a big extension tube, and they moved, not sheared...quite a relief!
Fed it some 15W30 tractor oil- the local agricultural merchant has good prices on brake, hydraulic and engine oil, so I use it!
Place you go to laugh at townies who can't drive on snow. Or filled up on lowland diesel and had their engines freeze.What the hell is a ski station?
What the hell is a ski station?
I guess it's obvious. I'm assuming it's what we call a ski area.A station for skis...
