Fair point...& I've not been back...

The TRO was lifted at the end of last year (As I understand it, it had been closed for at least a year)... The "repairs" that were carried out, where to put some foot-bridges in, for people to walk around the Obstacles. I never drove it prior to this year, so cant comment on if any other...

Best bet, is to take a wonder over to "Essex off road" pay'n'play site, just off Regement Way, opposite the golf -course in Chelmsford. Go for a look....see what its all about....then maybe pay ya money & go for a play on the simple stuff to start.....most people there will be ok about giving...

Its short (Only about 3/4mls), & most of it is nice enough. There are 3 or 4 "holes" that you cant avoid. 1 (The 1st one if you go in from the A128 end) is about 3 or 4 car lenghts long....motors with 33" tires just belly-up & have to winch out (Although as it dries up through the summer...

Thats true...current price is circa 80ppl (for Rape seed oil, Soya oil is a bit cheaper)...Tesco's stuff works/worked out about half that price.... Additionally, the stuff in Cash&Carry/Makro etc contains anti-foaming agents which, I understand, isnt a desired additive in an oil being used as...

I tried to order on-line yesterday, was limited to 4 bottles (Having seen some order 60 bottles as a time!)... Went in Store, was limited to purchase 2 bottles, + 2 free..... Damb U Mr Tesco! Might pop back after work to by another 4, another 4, another 4, another 4....(Sorry, I developed a...

Not sure how many of you Essex guys know, but Knightingale Lane is open again... Dont try it unless you have a winch :) , or are with somebody with a winch....& DONT try it alone! At the A127 end, best keep to the edge of the field on the dryer land...our club has been in contact with...

I fitted a couple mico fog lamps on the top of the rear door....they are fairly well protected from branch's/snagging etc.... I simply screwed into the door, & used hotmelt glue to hold the wires in place on the inside lip of the door, down the side into the rubber tube holding the rest of...

Ive had my current set of tyres for about 6 months... Two tyres have been repaired (cooked overnight to re-valconise(spl?)) One tyre has had a standard plug-repair, one tyre now has an inner-tube..... Was out lst month with a couple of mates, they got two flats in 30 mins, they had to...

Yep, thats the same as mine....but the air you are trying to blow down the breather, still has to go somewhere.... If you blow down the breather to the transfer box, and you havnt taken out the filler plug, you will just compress the air in the Transfer box &/or think the breather is...

Didnt you know I was part Eskimo? ;)

I assume you have removed the filler/level plug 1st?. With the filler-plug removed, you should be able to blow down the breather with ease. If you havnt, you'll just be compressing the air in the breather/axle.........& if you use an air-gun, you could blow a seal.

erm...I always thought the one-shot grease was for the swivel-housing/bearings.... & I would have thought, totally NOT suitable for wheel bearings! For wheel bearings, use wheel bearing grease!...I buy the stuff in tubs & use the same stuff in my grease-gun.

From memory, yes....but slide under the motor first, just to double-check!:D

Straps around the seat tubes....Not sure what/where I got the straps from, but a kinda non-elasticated version of: Elastic Straps Pair- 35cm | GO Outdoors

Well, Here's the 2nd battery in-situ..... Cant see alot I guess, but I did jet-wash most of the crud off on Monday... :D

Here's a couple of pics of my 5ft Hi-Lift strapped down inside.. As I said, none of my rear-seat passangers have ever said its got in their way....

Good Move!:amen: Just the prop?.....or did you have to change anything else???:hijacked:

rubber doughnut between the rear prop & rear axle-flange?... your symptoms described what happened to me when mine started to shred. Tis an easy job to do...just make sure you put the bolts back in facing the right way (as indicated on the doughnut) EDIT When you buy a replacement, try...

My mum (who likes to come off roading!) who finds it hard to get in'n'out (despite the small folding plastic step, on a bit of string so it can be retrieved from the floor, whilst in the seat :D) doesnt find it gets in the way at all...doesnt touch her feet/legs/nuffink.... I will try to get a...
