    Yeah - a leak seeming to come from the top of the tank is probably the green pipe.

    Update…. 3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar. They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...

    Handy tip for all you greasers, if you get a tapered grease gun end you can use it to grease normal nipples by simply poking it into the spring loaded ball bearing on the grease nipple, and as the pointy bit is super slim you dont waste ages...

    The two hoses that run along the chassis are only available together - LR do sell them, but they're not cheap especially the earlier one (to VIN3A828006) which is over double the price of the later one. The connectors are 7.89mm.

    Maybe it's fine if those wheels are designed to be nut centric

    Correct, same bore size as the D3 etc so spigot rings and new wheel nuts needed to fit them to a D2.

    They're all UCRs according to Trailwise - some of them might be overgrown and scratchy according to recentish comments.

    No but Shropshire and Warks have some good lanes and they're only an hour or so away I'm in the Black Country now but used to live in Cambs and still do a lot of laning over that side of the country

    I can't answer for the whole country but for the areas I've gone laning in, there are generally comments that are within the last 12 months - especially in the more popular areas and/or areas with active reps. I'm not familiar with laning in the...

    There are a lot of UCRs in the area (including Soar-Y-Mynydd at the southern end of that bridleway) which aren't usually shown on rights of way maps.

    I like Trailwise - it's especially handy for the comments against lanes with the condition, whether they're suitable for 4x4s, and hints/tips for driving them. It shows BOATS and UCRs with usually up to date info about TROs and TTROs. It's...
