    discovery 1 body lift

    Locked out, in a pickle.

    If you can get jump leads onto starter feed wire you could use your fob to open, if not water and washing up liquid on drive to assist slipping would help reduce pressure on transmission, could always ring your breakdown if you've got home start? 'O' too slow lol

    Speedo problems

    Speedo works for about 20 or so miles then jumps up and down then stops working, on leaving it for a wile it all works again? Thought I'd ask before swapping bits to try, thought someone may have come across this before, cheers Tim

    oh dear i am NO mechanic!

    Turbo pipes run from turbo to Intercooler then Intercooler to inlet ( plenum ) on freelander you'll see 2 of them at the front of engine, oil on the outside of these will indicate a boost leak, have seen a few split

    Nant-y-Moch (Devils Bridge) How far will a Defender lean

    I know that lane lol, you turned round just before the rock step ( you won't get up that without lockers ) it only runs for a further 50 yds then you have to turn round anyway. Does have some severe angles though :) Profile pic is on that bit you drop tha front wheel in lol
