And that makes it right does it? Don't think so.:doh:

Haven't done that much forumming at all recently MHM. Been doing a whole heap of laning, snapping and writing about it and also establishing a new business. Also doing the H4H European Rally in a couple of months and managed to blag a Disco 4 from LR in which to compete.

If there was a poll for the best Land Rover Freelander - I still wouldn't vote for the f*cker. Been stung there and won't go back etc etc etc.

Is TOUGH laning the type when you need lots of high vis clothing and camo trousers tucked into your army surplus boots?

Couldn't help meself, but I filmed a little trip out in a 4x4 up there yesterday. No kites though but I did get a sarnie at M&S at the Oxford services.:) YouTube- Stokenchurch

The Stokenchurch gap is quite easy local and scenic. 3 lanes each way and you can see for miles northbound on the M40. Of historic interest the tarmac between Jncts 6 and 7 was the location of the first motorway trial of porous asphalt.:) Some days you can see 20 or 30 red kites wheeling above...

TW is only as good as is contributors. Some areas are very well documented, from what you say Creswell ins't. You could add the lanes yourself and document your very good local knowledge?

It would be on a separate circuit and not plumbed into the steering system - therefore it could be any pump. The simplest solution is to either add a mechanical PAS pump in the place an A/C compressor would go. Or replace the LR PAS pump with a ZF74 PAS pump and pressure relief valve to...

Ooh, harsh.

True.:D I used a locker. And you taught me all I know too. Thx.

Yes. Hmmm, all I can say is 'Hollinsclough'.:brick:

You can use an electric PAS pump from a car instead of a mechanical PTO or ZF74 pump.

Yep - just use a simple hoist remote. YouTube- Seven Sisters winching The hydraulic vs electric question doesn't really have an answer. Hydraulic has no run on, is simple, doesn't cook plasma rope, can lower out reliably, it is quiet, powerful and low maintenance. Electric is cheaper, faster...

How profound.

You mean the EGR ECU? That box of nonsense? How many are still connected I wonder?

I dint know that.

Normally asthmatic.

Come the holocaust that'll be handy.:) Joking aside, I know what your saying - fair point. What other elecs does a non-auto 300tdi have by the way?

Those trees top left is the Fox Covert and we're both referring to the same area whatever its called.:) For clarity, I said that groups have been P&Ping there, increasingly over the past few years by taking multiple runs through the soft ground and cutting it up. It's a right to drive...

Not disputing the right to be there, just going back for another go on a byway accelerates damage. The lane past Fox Covert drop zone in the two dips has been deeply scarred with multiple tracks in the past 5 years by folk using it as an impromptu P&P. Its possible to drive along the lane...
