Hi trailblazer,
ACE should be repaired by the end of the day, fortunately my landy is still covered by its warranty so better it goes now and gets sor than further down the line although if I get future problems with it I think I'll do the same as you and just bin the ACE and opt for the less gizmos less to break approach, Kendal ay? So a fellow Cumbrian! Any good, leagal off road/green lane routes that are local that you would recommend for a Newbie to cut his teeth on?
