Hertfordshire Lanes?????

Evening all. Good day out today, the last lane that just Jai and I did was seriously rutted, could have required a few tows.

any piccies spyder ?

Woop 179 Miles today. When I woke up this morning I had no intentions of going laning but I Woke up late missed the Grand Prix, turned on the news and saw who won Bastid, Bastid!!! Soar Throat and decided that Feck It I'd go out laning.

Good laugh nothing too serious was pretty dry last lane was rutted a wee bit and the ford was er dry! Good old LRO!!!

Met some new faces all good guys. Hope they enjoyed themselves and will be out again soon I hope meeting up late wasn't too much of a PITA for you all. I was flying down the M1-M25 70 all the way! and the motor didn't mis a beat! Very happy Jai

Sible managed to break a rear brake hose and I believe a Rangie died before I got there.

CRACKING DAY OUT LADS!! Well, so I hear - unfortunately my RRC retired at the beginning of the third track! For some reason it cut out, and then wouldn't restart. Checked all the usual suspects, battery was OK, fuel cut-off switch OK, starter motor and solenoid connected but no luck - just a tick when trying to start.

Called the RAC out who was equally perplexed but eventually diagnosed a dodgy starter motor. He bypassed the starter solenoid and got the starter motor turning over with some fancy gadget he had and eventually got the car started - at which point I hotfooted it home! Dumped it outside the local garage - and sure enough, it wouldn't start again. Already ordered a new starter motor from Island 4x4, £72 delivered. Are they an easy DIY fit?



Looking on the bright side, my towing arrangement of JATE rings, bow shackles and tow strops worked very well indeed - every cloud has a silver lining...just sometimes you have to really look for it

Should be easy enough to fit. ****er but at least it wasn't abroad somwhere!

We drove Banji's lane it was dry as certainly different to when he was there. We all stood upright without falling over!

That's enough of that talk!! Haha! Range Rover is in disgrace, but it will rise again! Having said that, looking at the sides of Carl's Discovery (i.e. scratched to buggery!) perhaps its best I didn't take the Rangie down some of those lanes - I'm quite fond of the paintwork!!

Can't wait for the video to appear online...
