Might be looking for a 300TDi alternator if tonight's bodge doesn't work. Have you got one and if so how much posted? Cheers

Hope you've got a spare seat, bloody Disco's playing up. Will try and have it fixed by morning but think I may need a new alternator :(

One of these DIGITAL TURBO CONTROLLER. Taken off my Freelander 1 TD4 but will fit any vehicle with an ECU controlled wastegate or variable vane turbo. Combined with a RonBox 2 it made a huge difference to low down torque and overall power. It also made it significantly more economical when...

Looks like there is enough interest for the 14th so it's on. I won't be risking going down Swan Rake again but am happy to take pictures of anyone who does want to give it a go :D We will go up the other side though, that's pretty tricky too but without the huge rock step! I'll post up a meeting...

Ooooooh! That step half way down Swan Rake has got a lot bigger since last time I did Holinsclough!! :D No bits to pick up Mark, but it was close :eek: Unfortunately there was a motorcycle trial going on so we decided not to bother going up Limers Rake and having to fight past all the bikes...

So long as my Disco survives the rigors of Holinsclough I'm happy to run the same route again for those who can't make tomorrow. Can do either Sat 14th or Sun 22nd if that suits?

There are some quite tricky lanes in the route so I'd say meet at 9:30 for a 10am start. I also think we might be better off with one group this time so we've probably got enough people for this one now. If anyone else wants to do it let me know and I'll run the same route in a week or two's...

Yes?

Job done ;) And a big thanks to QSpot for the chance to drive a: part of an old favorite lane, long closed:( and b: to drive a fantastic track very few others get to drive. Top fun :D

Sorted, hopefully ;)

I'm in. BB PM inbound with my mobile number to pass to QSpot. I'm about 5 miles away and have been up the track before for the PDNP

I've got quite a bit of desk work next week........but that can be done anytime:D Give me a shout Mark, I'm sure we can sort something out. I'd like to recce some of the lanes beforehand anyway.

I'm going to show everyone the steep steppy bit (Swan Rake) on foot first, then head down and see who follows :D

Ok, a little clue to where we'll be heading then.... (apologies for the slitty but I've got no pics from here with a landy) Down the first one... Then up the next..... This gives a better idea of the gradient... There's a prize for whoever guesses where we're going....... You get to...

Reckon I will be there:D Just sorting a few lanes out for the route, anyone fancy some proper steep, rocky testers to end the day?

That's a bugger! If it's a write off, and the damage is all or mostly cosmetic, it may be worth buying back from the insurance company. That should give you a good chunk to turn it into an expedition vehicle ;)

No probs mate, always up for a bit of laning if I'm free and solvent :D The lane I did after you left had been tarmaced all the way through but there was another near the end of that one which was quite a nice one. Two new lanes for me so well worth a run out. See you soon

If anyone fancies a run out on Sunday I'll be at Torne Valley in Bakewell for a 9:30 start (as you come into Bakewell on the A6 from Matlock it's on the left at the first petrol station) Got to be done by 2pm as I've got an important appointment with the pub :D Let me know if you're coming so...

Just got round to downloading the few pics I took last weekend :doh: A great day out in the snow, even if we had to miss one lane because we couldn't even get to it!! (pic 2 and the top of the wall to the left is about 7 feet above the road:eek: ) And a cracking sunset to end the day:)

Anybody free on Sunday? I'll be out for a few hours if anyone fancies a few lanes?
