    Teach him to walk on the ramp while it's on the ground and then gradually raise it a bit. That way he won't be so spooked by it. Put him on a diet so he doesn't have so much weight to carry around :)

    Laning with Italians

    Really pleased you guys had such a good time and look forward to doing some more laning in Italy next year. I highly recommend the Jambo Club laning trip usually in mid April in Valpollicella, Verona. It's one of the best laning trips in the North Italian calendar with access to lanes that are...

    I desperately want a diesel!

    The latest in my Land Rover saga... went to collect the damned thing from the mechanic's yesterday evening because it was finally ready. Drove it about 500 metres to the petrol station to fill up because it was petrol-less and broke down. It would not start! So it's still at the mechanic's. And...

    I desperately want a diesel!

    The mechanic has got her back on the road. I got another ECU from a friend that had one in his garden shed and that one works. The throttle body problem was apparently solved by taking two throttle bodies to bits and making a 'new' one with the good bits from both. Thanks everyone for the help...

    I desperately want a diesel!

    North-east, about an hour's drive south of Venice. Mechanically mine is in perfect nick. The body has a few bumps and scratches from various laning trips. I've had her serviced regularly every six months (I've got all the receipts from my mechanic) more or less since I've had her. I've not got...

    OK I'll get back to you tomorrow evening. I'm going to the mechanic's tomorrow afternoon to evaluate my options. Would you want it even if we can't fix the ECU?
