    Wading kit

    Ahhh,silly me! I'll pick some black silicone up, to be fair I could do with some new pipes because they'll probably let water in! I'm pretty sure it's still got the old td air box setup with a 200tdi engine and the fins on the alternator knock onto it so need to move it somewhere...

    New here!

    Yeah I'll definitely be using them again! Ordered a wading kit off ebay last night so will fit that this week :) I'm on a budget so it's just a case of buying things when I can afford them...

    Thetford lanes?

    Yeah I thought they were a good tester! Was 120 mile round trip which is probably the furthest I've dared take my truck... And we didn't break down thank fooook! Did spring a diesel leak from the a pipe that joins the tank though but nothing major. I've got a steering guard and a diff guard...

    Thetford lanes?

    Bought the orange thetford os map and spent yesterday afternoon searching the surrounding area for byways that were open! :) Was a good day out, most of the lanes were dry and sandy so nothing extreme but had a good day! My missus weren't too bad with the map either...

    New here!

    Spent yesterday afternoon driving around the surrounding areas of thetford looking for BOATS on my new os map of the area. Found some that weren't closed, pretty dry and sandy so nothing extreme... Noticed that I've got a diesel leak from the small hose on the passenger side where it connects...

    B*stard drain plug!

    I'll keep a look out for one of those of this doesn't solve it :) Just before I leave, does anybody know what James meant by his reply, am I safe for now with the breather like this or will it take in water and knacker my diffs?

    B*stard drain plug!

    So even if I go deeper than where it's snapped in the axle it won't take in water?

    B*stard drain plug!

    I just filled it back up so I can use it today! It took a hell of a lot of ATF considering I just undone the one drain plug although to be fair I did let it drain for aaaaaaages! Now packing to go to thetford, want to do a few lanes but will have to steer clear of water as I've snapped my...

    B*stard drain plug!

    Luckily howie is going to try dog out a spare plug and is also going to lend me a chiesel! Too man :) Hopefully that lot should help shift it! Is it wise to grease up the threads when refitting the plugs?

    B*stard drain plug!

    Okay thanks, I'll try that! The others I've used have been a **** fit so the hammer just helped round the edges off a bit :/ I'll have to buy one at some point but I couldn't find anywhere that had one in stock today! I've also been using plusgas...

    B*stard drain plug!

    Howies lending me a 32mm spanner so I'm hoping that'll do the trick! Just need to get a short section of scaffold bar :) I've no idea when the main drain plug was undone! So I'm guessing a long time. The other two came undone easy as fook so I kind of had my hopes up that this was an easy...

    B*stard drain plug!

    It's good to find some locals on here! Anyway, I should have a 32mm ring spanner in my hands Sunday. I'll try get a bar on the end and hopefully it doesn't just slip! If not I'll have to take it to the garage and get them to apply some heat! So I can drive it, is it full when the oil dribbles...
