    Hi, just on the off-chance that some nice person is passing this way, would be most grateful, if you could bring my seats with you. My dogs have eaten mine, which makes driving a tad uncomfy. all the best urbandekay

    I would like to propose a new use for Land Rovers. Motorized Fox Hunting. I thought that if we started a high profile hobby like this, the anti fox hunting lobby and the anti 4 x 4 crowd could get together and fight between themselves thus leaving the rest of us to our peaceful pursuits. Any...

    A history of a newbie

    Hi Ryder's wife, Yes, Discos are available in auto in both TDi (Last proper Landie engine) and TD5 As you probably know, Discos run on same gear as Defender, though the longer body shell make attack and departure angles less on the Disco, still these should be sufficient for green-laneing and...

    Tyre Advice

    Ryder, yes you do want to put more tyre in contact with the ground but a wide tyre pushes more mud in front of it, a bigger diameter tyre also puts more tyre in contact with the ground, lengthways and needs less force to get it over obsticles. all the best urban dekay

    Tyre Advice

    Ryder yes, you could go and pay a lot for a set of GF tyres or you could try something cheaper. I'm running Bronco Gripedge (Trakdege copy) remoulds and have a separate set of wheels with road tyres on for summer use. I don't know how much your Shogun weighs but I think your tyres are too wide...

    Yep, that look similar, same colours even but different model, thinks I. Ah, now your seeing sense Ryder, clearly you need to listen to your wife's advice more! So, points for the day, Shogun 1 - got up the 1st lane after initially being stuck Series Landy 2 - did pull you out the first time...

    Clive's VW Transporter thing, was a Doka, by the way and faired well till its wheel arches filled with mud hampering steering. And also lets not forget that Spyderman's series Landie got though the last lane, which you had to be towed up! All the best urban

    Ryder, "I kid you not that transporter was the hero of the day," So who was it pulled the stuck series Landie out where the VW Doka failed. Let me think, yes, it was that chap simon in the Defender 90! And who was it dragged you up the other lane? Hmmm, the Defender clearly left the others...
