Sorry guys I can't make it on Sunday, got to work. Not happy! If someone else wants to lead then drop me an email addy by pm and I'll send you the route I had planned.

No problem. See you all at the Yondermann

I'll be heading to Portugal in mid April for a couple of weeks to recce routes for a group trip later in the year.

You are both more than welcome as always :) may be dropping you a PM just before the day to pick your brains on the legality of one or two of the lanes I would like to include. I know Brushfield will almost certainly be lost by then but was hoping to do the bottom of Two Dales, if still...

Ok guys who's up for a day out on the lanes on Sunday Feb 5th. It'll be a scratchy day taking in some of the trickier lanes that are still left, linked up with some easier scenic lanes. Meet at the Yondermann on the A623 at Wardlow Mires for a 9.30 set off, so be there earlier if you want one of...

Need a new gearbox for my 98 D2. Don't need the transfer box but will take both if that's what's available. Be perfect if it came complete with a CDL linkage. Synchro on 4th has gone on mine so whilst still driveable, carefully, the sooner it gets a fully functional box the better. Cheers

Not registered at the moment but have been in the past. As a simple rule of thumb lanes marked in RED are BOATs and should be legal to drive, although there are exceptions as the PDNP have issued TROs on a few BOATs, and lanes marked in BROWN should also be legal. If you click on the lane you...

I think you may need to learn how to use trailwise a little better. Wildersley lane is quite clearly shown as illegal to drive and Nether lane is shown as having unknown vehicle rights but a quick look at the OS map shows it as a footpath.

Also bear in mind that unless you remove the alternator and drain from the bung in the side of the block, as well as the rad or lower pipe, you'll only drain about half of the coolant.

Between constantly fixing the bloody disco and trying to set up a new business I've been a bit lax on organizing a day out on the lanes recently. I'm out on the 11th of Dec but that trip is full, however I will get something organized over the xmas holidays so keep an eye open on the Derbyshire...

One of those "ejits" is GLASS rep for South Yorks and the video, along with others of the same lane, is already in the green laning section of the site. The trouble with watching a short video clip, without the help of a map of the spot, is that you can't tell if the "ditch" as you call it or...

Yes I know, but I hadn't had chance to read your previous helpful replies, both here and on the D2 forum, before I pulled it. I only needed the vehicle for a short job this morning and as it was mostly off road I wasn't too bothered about the ABS etc. The job will be done properly this afternoon...

As I needed the car working for this morning and I didn't have access to nanocom/hawkeye etc. I've temporarily converted it to coil springs and pulled fuse 11 to get it mobile. Fuse 11 will be back in this afternoon once the Disco's been plugged in and the SLABS changed to springs not air. I'll...

Thanks for the replies guys, all sorted and back on the road now. Just been for a play in the snow, what there is of it, to make sure all is OK.

Have I knackered my compressor? Had to limp the last couple of miles home yesterday in reverse! Had a sudden rear suspension failure and ended up on the bump stop within a matter of seconds. At first I thought the drivers side air bag had let go, it's been fine with no slow leaks or morning...

You must get surprised an awful lot then! You're telling other people to do their research and then you chelp off without even a rudimentary search of my previous posts! Had you taken a second to check you would have seen that my "Chelsea tractor" D2 regularly leads green lane days in the Peak...

I, and others, run 235/85R16s on standard suspension with no lift at all and no issues with rubbing. So long as the wheels you have are std offset you'll have no problems.

Not for driving in Moroccan temperatures, you need to be running 5w40 or even 5w50 depending on time of year.

If you've finished the Cirque in Midelt then there is a good mechanic on the right as you head North out of town on the N13. Sorry I can't remember his name but if you head out that way you'll see the garage. He won't have a hub but in typical Maroc fashion he'll be able to bodge it well enough...

No English speakers at Iriki? Get yourself booked into a hotel with a pool whilst you wait for the seals (I reccomend the Fibule du Draa but there are plenty others) and get one of the English speaking staff to accompany you to the garage to translate, 20Dh should cover the help. Getting towed...
