    Aw sorry about your loss Sue, hope you're feeling better soon. Sounds like he's been a loyal steed. I've attached a few piccies of our little jaunt yesterday. Sorry zip there's mainly ones of Sue as of course we were always behind her! Great day out, enjoyed seeing some more new parts of the...

    Got a crack in the windscreen, went to get it replaced today and this was what we found :( Not too major but having to get it fixed today and tomorrow - HOPEFULLY will be ready for Saturdays trip, which Mrs E and I are looking forward to!

    Off topic: Can someone help me understand a few intricacies of taxing and MOTing in terms of dates. My Tax expires 30 Nov and MOT 6 Dec. If I understand correctly for tax I can buy up to a month in advance, but renewal date remains the same (so if I buy 12 months it will expire 30 Nov 2014)...

    I'll check with Mrs E on dates/diary. We'd be really keen to come out again, but will probably need to confirm a bit closer to the time. Happy if it's the same/similar lanes, the worst thing from the last trip was "zipping" through the villages without much chance to take them in or take a few...

    No need to apologise at all! It was fun, and enjoyed having a bit more of a challenge :D

    Begger! Did the same on mine - the front diff has a guard but the rear hasn't been fitted yet (waiting to get the right bolts). They are worth their weight in gold I reckon! Luckily here too no harm done. By next time I'll have both diff guards and tank guard. And then slightly later new...

    diff lock?

    Make use of the search function mate - I've had about 10-15 tech related questions since purchasing my disco 6 months ago, and haven't to post once about them - found all the answers I needed from searching within the site. With your situation though - I can add something that may not have...

    Yeah, shame we had trouble with our CB all day - hopefully by the next trip we'll have one that doesn't decide to change channels all on it's own accord :cool:

    +1 for that. Stellar day out. Mrs E and I thoroughly enjoyed (helped in no small part to plentiful supplies of cake and other sweets!). Many thanks to Zip for planning and guiding. Great photos Sue! We have some photos too, will upload tomorrow when I get a chance

    Got the snorkel fitted today - unfortunately though twas a case of 1 step forward, 2 steps backwards. Taking the plastic inner guard off, bits of the inner wing came out with the plastic bungs :-(

    I'm feeling brave. Mrs E says...she'll get back to you approx Sat lunchtime on that! Don't go too easy on my account - we can always skip a lane and meet you at the other end, or back out etc... The Avon's aren't THAT bad - they're very road-biased to be sure, but they got us around some...
