    My solution:

    Folded cardboard jammed into the fuel latch, then ten minutes of locking and unlocking. Then hey presto.

    Also replacement parts are dirt cheap and easy to do.

    Finnally, what a buggar it stopped you coming to Lake Lyell, it was a great weekend, oh and as to your wittness of an accident you posted, we had one of our own on the road to the Lake, a young P Plater rolled his parents new Commodore, luckly he was OK, he got a hug from his mother, the Father wasn't very ammused though

    Kerry and Ness stayed with him until his parents arrived.

    Wow Baz, I could just imagine the thoughts from a parents eyes a bit more now! Speed/drifting a factor or just unlucky circumstances?

    I have not felt comfortable driving since I saw what I did on Friday morning. So to be honest I could have driven perfectly fine, and would have made the day as I had pre-voted. But driving again was really not on the top of my list of things to do. Even today I left Dorothy in the driveway and caught the train to work.

    I jumped in with a mate in his Jeep as they went up to Zig Zag on Saturday, nearing the end of their day we saw one of the LR Groups at Moon Rock, we watched one of the D3's do it with absolute ease, kind of ruins the lure of the rock, maybe Land Rovers should be banned from off-roading and just used in the city?
    Seriously though even as passenger I was not enjoying the driving much.

    Speed mate, he was doing 130kph and lost it on the bend, with any luck it might teach him to take it a bit easier next time behind the wheel.

    You were in that group on the rock, I was the trip leader on the day, I was the Grey D4 that lead the group down the track, if I'd known you were there I would have come and said hi.

    Try not to dwell too much on that day, from what I read you did everything you could, I used to be a Motorcycle first aider at Race meeting, I've seen trauma first hand myself, diggers message was spot on, have a talk with someone and also as they say "get straight back on the horse"

    I have ridden bikes for 25 years now! Love every aspect of them, and have seen a lot of damaged bodies and prides, including my own. But the crushed guy in the car was different, something about the helplessness. Dunno.

    Ahh damn, the guys didn't stick around for long, we were worried about getting in the LR's way.

    I was busy eyeing off all the modifications! Literally every Disco had some serious gear hanging off them, bar a couple.

    The one that we watched do the rock, who's was that? Awesome rack and light bar on the roof!

    Which one, there were 3 that had a go, RRS of Jamie, a Grey D4, that was Ducks Guts(almost Identical too mine) and Steve23, in a Silver D3, that would have been the one you saw.

    Spewing I missed the Miss Adventure RRS!

    Must have been Steve23, he just jumped at moon rock like a pro, very impressed! And made it look so easy.

    I'll be giving it a crack in good time. No e-diff though, not sure if that will make a big difference or not.
