LOL! Yep! Newbury 4x4 is a company in Newbury. Nice peeps!

Yeah but honestly...if you saw the mud...she should not have got stuck. I got it wrong. End of. I created the mud and the problem. I didn't deal with it properly. Road tyres or non road tyres I got it wrong. But fortunately I have a friend with a tractor! If someone who knows what they are...

I have used them before and they are very reasonable and nice people.

Thanks. I will look into all terrain tyres. I cant afford to change them all at the moment.

I was thinking about popping down to Newbury 4x4! :)

They should have gone to specsavers...

Sadly she does have a name, Saffy (had Eddy (Range rover), Patsy- (Mx6) and Saffy (Defender)- AbFab) and yes, I do tell her she is a good girl! I also have a Frogeye Sprite called Bananas. :D Not sure what i would call a tractor! Maybe Kevin.

Yep, clay!

I don't go through the fields often. It was just that I had to fix some rails which were at the far end. I tend to walk across usually, mainly to protect the grass. She went across first time without any real problem but I think the second time I needed the diff lock on as the mud was already...

Not teaching me to suck eggs. I am neither technically or mechanically minded but I am trying to learn. My Landy is used to do jobs around my place which occasionally requires going off road. I live on a small farm but don't need a tractor. It is also my main vehicle for everyday use, work etc...

Ok Have looked at the manual and don't have TC. But it does look as if i didn't do the right thing with the diff lock.

I will have a look through the manual later. I pushed the lever to the right and up to Low. So was i just in low range and not diff lock? When would that be helpful? I think I must have got the diff lock on eventually by trial and error as the light came on. So next time, diff lock to the left...

Is that the one that I have to wait to go off before i turn the engine on? If so, yes. it comes on. What does it do? I just know I have to wait until it goes off before i turn on the engine.

Based Hants Berks border near Newbury. I did the Landrover experience course (albeit some years ago now) but it is so long since i have had to use the diff lock I had forgotten what to do. The other thing that has confused me is the post that said, high gear, low range and diff lock. How do I...

I was worried about this although wouldn't know what the solenoid is tbh. Just thinking maybe it was due to not using the diff lock enough. The light came on to show it was on. Also I was just thinking, I had already been across the field once (I was mending fencing and had left something...

Hi. I have a defender 90 (2004). I rarely have to go off road in serious mud so a bit out of practice tbh. I took her across my field on Sunday and got stuck. This has never happened. I just usually put her in first or second gear, take my foot of the accelerator and off she goes. Clearly the...
