I'll be doing these lanes solo, late August but I'd like to do them earlier with a group to make it more fun. So if you are still up for it you can count me in too.

Once you go black you'll never go back.

Still being new here myself it certainly does make for a funny read. The chap with a thread asking how good the Freelander 2 is had 1 reply on topic and then 4 pages of randomness. :D http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f37/reet-then-gaylanders-67465.html

For some little copper washers. At first we thought it was the exhaust manifold making a blowing tappety noise, so got that fixed, started it up and it was still making the noise. On closer inspection it was one of the injectors blowing past the copper washer. So out comes the injector to find...

As others have mentioned check the feed wire. When I did the electrics on mine it kept popping off causing what is happening to yours. As for the headlight that sounds like there is a wire arcing out on metal somewhere. Probably caused by a chip from a stone. And as it's a defender there will...

There will be a key on the map to mark a BOAT or RUPP but they are not always legal to drive down. If you get an OS map make sure it's a 1:25 000 scale. They're called Explorer maps and they're orange.
