Lenny - grazie, There's a fair amont of grease around but poss. not in exactly the right places. I suspect the dried-up gunge may be part of the problem, in some of the less accessible places eg on the drive gear!? But I guess wear/adjustment is a possibility - Mr Haynes doesn't help much...

I'm aiming to explore some of the trails/dirt roads in the S. Tyrol, Gran Paradiso and Dolomites region, does anyone have suggestions for passable routes, please? Its a two week single-vehicle expedition, so I'm not aiming for difficult roads. I'm just looking for interesting places to...

Thank you chaps Good points made - some have been done recently. Any more? Strange sign indeed - I can't remember log-ins & pin numbers so I have to pick easy ones. G7HZZ is my Official Amateur Radio Callsign, 144/14MHz are the frequencies I use ..... you should see the antennas on the Disco...

Hi Folks Between Easter and the end of August I will be taking my 1995 300TDi Disco (not towing) on 3 long-ish round trips from C. England: 1) to Northern Italian Alps (via F, B, LX, D, A) approx 5500mls 2) to S. Sweden (via F, B, NL , D & DK) approx 7000 3) to Outer Hebrides & N. Scotland...
