Well tomorrow’s task is to clean it all up and see what I can spot. And also rummage through my spares as I may have a spare neck in the shed.

i am out of the country for three weeks but will check this once I am back and let you know how I get on. Thanks for all your help with this.

If you have the neck breather as well check this.

What do you need ? You get what you pay for..... Sometimes...... Just had a google and this is on ebay...

You have just confirmed my issue. Everything works and moves. The issue is the cable I assume stretches. And needs adjusting every couple of months. That was what I was hoping to rectify.

Don’t know if of interest or not, but people may find use in the routine I use for areas like chassis where rust is present but not terminal. Step one - Clean with degreaser. I use screwfix no nonsense. It’s excellent and doesn’t burn through...

Find the feed for the dash lights and check that voltage to make sure you doing things correctly. Once you have a live & earth,keep probe on the earth & check the plug outputs for power. You could also check the removed loom lights with a bit...

Looking at that,its even more simple. Calliper looks like it’s on sliders(make sure it’s not seized) Check lever is actuating the piston(unsure if there are any other moving parts) Tighten up the handbrake cable

You did check voltage when you put the headlights on? (Just checking) Do your dash lights work? Thought they would be on the same power supply.

Cable goes onto a lever, it’s that part that you strip down. I normally take middle seat out and do this from above. 2 lock nuts undo and slide it all apart. The lever with them holes has a locater. Note which hole it uses & lever location...

Problem solved…and it had nothing to do with the alternator! Long story short, the alternator belt was probably a bit on the tight side, so adjusted that and now it’s fine. The culprit behind all the issues I have been experiencing? The dreaded...

I picked up a slow puncture on Friday. I can’t get it fixed until Tuesday due to availability of the local tyre place so I’ve been pumping it up daily. 🙄

It's a defender not a freelander 😮

Yeah Trailwise shows UCRs - they're the blue ones on the screenshots.

I have a spare arm on a shelf somewhere to do that to, to 🤔 is that to many 2s:p. Just got to pluck up the courage to try and get the arm off, think its going to be rough;) J

Do they show on Tw? Or if things are not marked do people still put notes up on the route/UCR ? Thanks all for you ongoing help

Yep… I just zoom out and scan colours. Second pad runs the os map so I get a general idea where I am. That’s when I spotted the unmarked ROW. May have to chat with a few Welsh people…

http://wetroads.co.uk/ is good if you want to see a list of fords in each county

Here a problem. Nice lane not showing anything on definitive map. A bridal path is shown(on definitive map)so it’s the correct council...

Yep been on Powys site. Just linking up areas and councils

If you use streetmap.co.uk it will tell you the exact postcode of wherever you point. Helps to find the right council

But you need to find the area first,then find the relevant council. Thought I had found the correct area…. Nope about 100miles to far north(that site will be used for other routes later on) I am making lots of notes as I go. Thing is I have to...

Thanks. This looks easy to use

The Upper Claerwen byway ends at Claerwen, but there's a private link road at the end owned by the Elan Valley Trust that goes through to a UCR. You can email Elan Valley for a permit to drive the link road. Shown here between the red (Upper...

@jamesDisco TD5 Let’s see a bit of TW in action…. Can you look at Builth wells and give me a general screen shot of lanes/bridal ways in the area. If it’s any good I will join Thanks for your help

You get some discounts on sites like JGS, Thunderpole, some insurance companies etc. For me it's worth it for Trailwise, but GLASS do some good work fighting lane closures and sometimes organising repairs to keep as many lanes open as possible...

If you can convert these to gpx files it will be good. I have gone looking/verifying lanes on the Motobike and had no worries & chatted with a few gate owners. Turn up in a 4x4 and they forgot who you are.

You can drive this one.
