    Hi all, I’ve lost a brake caliper retaining bolt from my Puma Defender. Can anyone recommend an outlet to source a bolt or has one kicking about in Snowdonia/North Wales please. I’ve tried Conwy Land Rover.

    Son missing

    So sorry to hear the news brother. As always anything we can do to help please say. Thanks Minty for the tip. Even when we are all spread around the world doing stuff we can be assured we always come back together to help an LZ brother or sister.

    I hope you share those memories mate. I’d love to see the footage. John wasn’t impressed by the lane before the water crossing. I had no idea he didn’t like heights.

    John was an absolute top guy who rarely stopped laughing. He will be hugely missed.

    Fan on 200tdi

    I agree with Vin, it's not a big issue so just get it road worthy and worry about a fan cowling later. It's no biggy.

    Thanks to everyone in group 5 who made the Laning trip such good fun. Well done to the hippos who managed the river crossing with the doors still attached. The smiles afterwards were so big that they wouldn't fit on my camera. Best start on the routes for next year as I've got a feeling...

    Everything I could possibly do to it. melted a piston, cracked the cylinder head, destroyed an injector and now this weekend replace the fuel pump in the tank. :(:(
