I'm off for a day run in the brindies for the day to ease my beastie back into the hard life.
Due to a few hassles the new winch switches arn't working yet and neither is the master air switch.
I do have sheepskin covers now :eek:

Thanks we survived!
Got hung in the clay. Both diffs stuck and all 4 wheels in the air. Rescued by a mavrick running 35's.
I also had Exon Valdeeve in the back seat. Tap was turned on and the 10 litre oil container started to drain through the cab. Would have been 3-4 litres spilt.

Glad to hear you managed to get back ok Edd - how did she perform apart from the 4-wheel spin? All good?

I should have come along in the Freelander and acted as the safety car and then you would have had not problems. :)

She went perfectly. Ran like a dream and seems to be using less fuel than before. Still have to sort out the rear diff lock but otherwise its running great.

Garry thanks
but was my own fault I watch him do it then did it at half the pace More speed and I could have slid to the climb and as long is the ruts wern't still deep could have climbed out.
