12 months worth of comments in a day lol.
Without tempting fate mine is working. Winch and breather kit is installed and hoping to get the snorkel on at the weekend. With all this rain I wouldn't mind trying violets?

Geoff, I'll try and pick up that transfer box soon and sort out money for racking. I can take the tbox to ashcrofts.

Ok Nick no rush when your passing,

Very quiet on here recently! I went down one of the lanes Braintree way last night (on my bike) and looks like it's not been driven recently

We did a few last night and there were 3 or 4 that we made a path through. Very overgrown!

I did some lanes today near brentwood. One good one, but the rest overgrown. Would like to join sometime to see the good ones.

We did a couple today on the way home from Billing. Quite overgrown but passable. We did one that was ruined last year, then filled in, and now has a few badger sets making big humps! Mikey has some pics which id imagine he will upload!

Well made it all the way back to Coggeshall before gearbox problems.
Poxi auto boxes I fecking hate them!!

Drove fine then got back on the a120 and kept slipping and revs jumping around before loosing all drive.
Kept having to pull over and turn the engine off, start it again then boot it down the road for about half a mile and repeat all the way to the barn.
Then this morning left for work and was stuck in one gear for about 2 miles then another 5 miles down the road and started doing the same again.
Preying another oil change will fix it but I imagine I'll be hunting for manual box conversion parts in the near future.

Talking of bits I'm after a front and read empty axle casing for 300tdi. Don't need Diffs, hubs, shafts, etc just the axle casing itself.

Well we still have the manual breaker.

Be quick before it goes for scrap though.

We are moving it into dans unit today to start filling with rubbish so the pedals might start to get a bit inaccessible.

Boo! Did I scare you all?

Whhhaaaa

We need to revive the thread!

Seems everyone uses FB, looking at EMM on face book today when did the original handfull of us become nearly 80 members?

And some of which I've never heard of yet want everything to suit them it seems!

Someone's been a little free with the accept button. Lol

Couldn't agree more!
The page was setup as meets on here had attracted lots of unexpcted people turning up to laning meets.

If we were thinking about having a cull? We should also look at who is going to have admin privileges and perhaps ask the group before accepting new members?

Bang on there nick, I thought there was only a couple who had admin rights on FB

I don't mind being admin and dealing with what's needed?

Likewise I am too.
TBH we could leave the original members as admin, but have a general consensus that any new requests are put up as post for discussion (just to make sure we know who that actually are).

I agree. Who's fb admin at the mo?

Or we change it to a formal not for profit club with only paid members. I have to become to a club for the discount on my insurance.
