Welcome from fellow jock. My advise is learn before you spend, LR's are great but I spent dosh on the wrong things and missed out on the important bits that can reduce costs longer term. Focus on the key stuff with oils being my big learning point - cost me a transfer box. Good luck

Welcome Savage, based near Henley in Arden myself but did not know we had so many others close by

Not sure there are laning clubs..just clubs that do some laning amongst the other things, offroading, shows etc. MROC are 1 example and I am a member but to be honest, the laning is infrequent and, I personally, have not got a great benefit. I do some local off roading and semi regular laning...

Duke the defender, why not !!

So which maps tell you what green lanes are good ? I sense the chap was looking for some advice from those who have been before rather than lines on a map....not unreasonable really. Apologies, I cannot help, only done those north of that in Strata and beyond.

I am invading Warwickshire, shagging sheep as I go, of course, but from Edin originally. Up on business in the borders recently and great to see LR's everywhere. Prob was all the owners we ginger and refused to respond to the friendly LR wave...strange that eh...welcome by the way

Evening, what you got then, any piccies

Ok, still of view that for a few extra quid go for extra tonnage, especially if off roading, clay is common and 1 or 2 ft of mince is enough to stress a component. These components are made with a FOS not such that you eat into the safety factor when you buy them, take your own view,Cheers

For you to consider LR Def 90 for example - fully loaded 2 tonne and add to this a difficult perhaps hilly area and further more a large dash of mud - you should be looking at something beyond the tonnage you outline. Just my view, appreciate that shackles etc survive beyond this but still...

Welcome chap, Based near Warwick, got any piccies

Hi, welcome. For my part, it is great learning before you buy your final truck so if your going to beat it up, get something cheap and cheerful until you learn the trade. Other than that, standard checks, bulkhead, good gear change with no backlash, chassis no holes, cross member in good shape...

Jolly good, you carry on then on your version of laning and I will do mine.

You guys give us all a bad name, no wonder we have such opposition to using lanes. You guys take fun from facing a LR Def against a micra...nice one

Great help, why dont we just turn the whole LZ into a google search and forget the forum concept.

how come you geezers can paste straight onto LZ, I need to put a link in. Any help?

Its a great area and there is so much we either did not capture - 2 days were easily filled

Top stuff, cheers, will advise on result

Came already with cable in dash from previous owner. Picking up on MHM comment, got replacement alternator a few months back so could be related. Any other views appreciated as is ****ing me off now

MHM, got that, but how to remedy?

So, without wishing to take over post. Any ideas about a CB that works ok with engine off but when on, gets really poor reception, ta
