He was only trying to be a good samaritan BGB, on his last rescue attempt. We all told him it was not going to work, but he tried anyway. Needless to say we were all right and he was wrong. He did manage to travel about 2m before the god of clay claimed him. It was a pitiful sight. Oh how we laughed

Not only that just taken almost 2 hours to pressure washer that sticky stuff of the defender, just when I thought I had it all, there was another load, think I just moved it from one side to the other. Now have enough clay to make myself a memorial pot or two tp celebrate the day

What was that with the coppers at the end of the day?

hard to transport dead diggers around though for a day out

got some picies to put up myself but not sure how, just tried to upload and told security token missing?? what am I doing wrong?. Also just told S3 now picked up from roadside 19.40hrs by RAC, long night for them hours drive home

Thanks for a great day guys. Ben and Max in the series 3 are still awaiting recovery at this time by the RAC. Fuel lift pump knackered apparently. See you all for the next round

i am just bring 5l and will fill it up in the dry stream on the way back

cheers Matt, recovery points are ok and have ropes and sling in. Wellies are good but did not think of the water, screen wash and stuff thanks, sort that out now

Bit of advice please guys as this is my first time. Nipples greased on CV 's and propshafts, oils checked and topped up in engine, diffs and swivels. Wading plugs are in and secure, mostly secured down with stuff in the back. Have I missed anything I need to do before playing...

Hi Andy, How much you looking for for the snorkel, need one for my 200, we can have a chat on Sunday about whats needed extra to fit it

Being the Rookie, that will probably be my job

This is the best news I have had today

Reporting back on my trials over the last few weeks with using Tesco's cheapest red at about 200:1 ratio. Defender 90 running with the 200tdi engine loves it, getting over 30 mpg and clean, no more black smoke, torque on hills and low revs seems better. Also put it in the RRS getting...

My apologies, just checked their events calendar page on the website again and it is still showing dates for 2011. But the special events link does say they are there 27th to 29th July 2012

You are right Andy, their website states they are going to Coney farm on the 30th April till 2nd May so it must still be a valid Off Road site, but no contact details or Links there either for the site that I can see

I think this is the one near Stourport you are looking for, but I have no phone number to check availability or if still live and info scarce on web CONEY GREEN: OS Ref. 138/794713 Leave Stourport on the A451 heading towards Great Witley. From the river bridge in Stourport, after approx I...

Thanks Andy, qualify on all the above criteria, no winches though. The truck is probably more capable than me at the momment. Steve has seen the truck so I will check with him on anything I may be missing. Just dont want to turn up like the idiot that wants to climb snowdon in shorts and a...

Wouldn't mind putting my name down for it to make the numbers up if I can Andy. Will say though I am new to this and little experience off roading but willing to learn, so take this into account before you say yes. BD and Doris can advise you better about me, just don't believe what they say...

Ok developments since my last post. Amazing what 5 mins and a cup of tetleys can do. Thinking about why the engine would stall after a full loading of the headlights and heaters being on for a little while ( Its a Diesel) Also thinking about seeing and smelling a little tell tail trail of...

Gone through aall the suggestions above today, put two new earthing straps on from body to chassis and engine just in case, checked and cleaned the connections mentioned by Mundungus, all ok. Confident it is not an airlock in system at this time. No water movement still but left on tick over...
