"Sometimes you have to play the fool to out-fool the fools who think they're fooling you"

Thanks for the replies :cool: The bushes are poly after replacing the (absolutely shot) OEM bushes, they made a big difference. And there's absolutely no way I'm having another Discovery, I actually find the Defender seats and driving position really comfortable. As for the springs and shocks...

Back on LZ after a long absence.

Despite renewing tired old springs and shocks about 18 months ago, my 90 isn't riding anywhere near as well as it could/should be. I've tried lowering tyre pressures and it's had a recent re-bush, yet it's crashing and jarring over the rough stuff and really uncomfortable. The current set up is...

Couldn't agree more with this, been there myself and it never ceases to amaze me how some of us professional drivers manage to keep 44 tons moving when the cars are skidding off all over the place. It's often a prat in a car that causes the traffic to stop so then the trucks find it difficult to...

Oh dear, you poor thing! You must have been so unbelievably distraught when you posted this....I bet you'd be one of the first to moan if the supermarket shelves were empty too. :po_O

Hello, The best first 'mod' you can have would be an Ordnance Survey map for the area and learn how to read it and perhaps joining a club would be advantageous, as you can learn a good standard of 'greenlaning etiquette' and how to enjoy the lanes whilst also being responsible to the...

The card is a truly lovely gesture, thank you to those involved in producing it. It's a beautiful tribute to an exceptional character, looking at it gave a lump in my throat.

I learnt of this sad news on FB a few days ago. James was an all round top bloke and an inspiration to us all with his courage and candor in facing his illness and making the most of the time he had left. He'll be missed, he influenced everyone who met him, another great person who left this...

I'm afraid that I have to back up those who are wary of sharing routes without firstly knowing a little more detail about the person asking the question, in particular their ability to understand an OS map. The good, experienced peeps will do their research beforehand, be able to read the...

Ah, Stratford Tony ford and the Oxdrove, blimmin lovely drive on a clear sunny day, can see for miles :)

Cheers Muds :) Malligoat, please have a look at Dorset Rover or PM me a contact number. DLRC have an open driving day/pay and play at Matchams this Sunday 15th March which you might be interested in, you can get to really try out your Disco without tearing up any lanes and you can 'meet the...

Would you mind if I kept an eye on this thread with a view to maybe my partner and I travelling up one weekend and joining you on a future trip please? I've always fancied having a nose up round the Yorkshire lanes, especially if its with other like minded and responsible people :)

I think it's a good idea, sadly far too many go out greenlaning with absolutely no idea how to conduct themselves and are quite clueless as to where they should be in their blind quest for 'MUD' and when you try to advise these fools (either face to face or via social media) all you get back...

In light of the apparent increase in Land Rover related thefts of late and how many of us love to show our passion for these iconic vehicles on social media, it might be wise to check that your social media ‘privacy settings’ are still what you originally set them to. Many of us are unaware...

Not at all, this applies solely to those who choose to go off tarmac onto unsurfaced public rights of way for recreational use with their 4x4s. You're supposedly an intelligent man Pikey so you would surely have already worked that out, but I also appreciate how you love to have a bit of a spat...

You know me BB, I don't mince my words or beat about the bush, I only seem like I'm ranting because I'm not a fellow sandal wearing pacifist :p:D As you say, not all greenlaners 'are ****e, mud flinging prats that must be forced into line', I never said that per se, but I think the crux of...

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Good point and I shall explain... There are many truck drivers including myself that were horrified at the prospect of having to pass a DCPC (Driver Certificate of Professional Competence) despite many of us knowing how to do our jobs perfectly well. Without it, we would lose our right to work...
