Despite the nasty weather I had a rare oppurtunity to get a photo of the tail car which was a rather nice sounding 300tdi 90.

A quick jaunt down the A14 in convoy was required to get to the laning route which I must say had been chosen well, reasonably easy but spectacular and challenging enough that they weren't boring. I took my postion in the second car of the convoy the truck cab Defender which unfortunatly did...

I got back late last night from this event and must say what a cracking weekend, great food, great site, and great people. Sadly I was riding shotgun for the weekend as my own Landy broke down late Thursday evening and with the event starting Friday I simply didn't have time to fix it. So I...

about 6 miles from the show field im told and probably spun a bearing in the engine.

If you PM me an email address I'll send you my laning and pay and play videos. Glad you got back safe and don't forget to put some split pins in them steering arm castellated nuts! Im back now and yellow90 should be too unfortunatly the series 3 hybrid, im told, suffered a major break down on...

I'll put the rest of my photos up in a thread tomorrow but for now lets have a quick laugh at those who got stuck over the weekend. There is one other that got stuck but I didn't get the photo Yellow90 gets a special award for the most times stuck and the stupidess getting stuck. The latter of...

Arrrghhh auto correct ;

We've ribbed a dude from something else. So we are in the move again. On our third fuse so may well blow again

We are sitting in services with electrical problems

well the news that there's wifi available is a godsend to me. I have an exam on tuesday so I should at least be able to do some revision over the weekend. I also kind of have a 2500 word essay to finish thats due in on wednesday so yep im gonna be making use of the wifi lol.

I could come on my tractor I suppose but that might take a while with a top speed of 16mph all my other vehicles are broken. 6 Vehicles one needs a new clutch, second needs its cylinder head put back on and a rewire, third needs a lot of welding, new drivebelts and engine mountings, fourth...

Looking forward to this sadly my landy is no longer coming for several reasons some of them my ill health but im coming anyway. I too have been shopping for the weekend and have bough a load of new camping stuff.

Well my disco is not coming anymore. It broke down today and needs new valve caps and a rocker shaft its still running but I had to adjust the tappets twice in 5 miles home to keep it running on all 4 cyls. There is no way she is driving that distance like that and no hope of getting the parts...

Well I couldn't resist seeing if she was fixed so put it back together with the 3 part broken manifold gasket to see if she was fixed. Well power wise no difference but I don't think she was down on power really anyway temp seems to be staying put at 1/2 way up the gauge again and not moving...

I'm 24 God I feel old now

I'll be going in convoy with Yellow90 hopefully provided me disco actually works for the trip otherwise I'll have to scrounge a lift. I've done this journey quite a few times. I know the route pretty well as I used to go to Uni in Coventry best route is take the A40 to Abergavenny cut north to...

Done just waiting on a new manifold gasket to see if she is fixed

There's two sides to that coin mind on the one hand its more work to put it right and also have to inspect the previous work done for safety but it does keep us paid.

4 hours for the whole job maximum. I am a mobile mechanic and yes it does take longer on the ground than using a ramp but it should be do-able in 4 hours. I use a vacuum bleeder on brakes and carry an air compressor to power it if the pedal is spongey the job has not been done properly get...

Head now off and no major blows in the HG. In fact I can't find a blow as of yet, I don't expect it to be severe as she was still running reasonably well but has been losing water, pressurising the expansion tank and getting hot under load. Next check is for warpage or cracks in the head
