I would have been up for it but am at a wedding unfortunately :-(

I'm going to be away for a couple of weeks, but would be up for another run after that.

Yeah :) figured a week without scratches was long enough :p

Well, the guy did say that Land Rover had rejected an engine warranty claim on a non-aircon defender which had had the OE aircon unit fitted after it was bought because mounting it in front of the radiator could restrict airflow to the engine, even though that's exactly how they fit it in the...

No idea... I was just planning on bolting it on myself... Seems buying new has it's own type of problems :confused: I'll ask the place I bought it from and see what the deal is.

Two weeks old. I figure I'm safe from any "it's not designed to be used off road" excuses because I bought it with MT tyres designed primarily for off road use. Of course, I'm hoping never to need the warranty anyway!

I'm thinking of putting on a cheap HD bumper to have some front recovery eyes in a more convenient position than jate rings, but when I was at Gigglepin today picking up some basic recovery gear they said I should check that it wouldn't affect the warranty before buying one. Would/could Land...

Definitely! As long as nobody judges my first time too harshly :o

Haha I was absolutely bricking it! Very different to the sportscars I'm used to. Leaning over to the side feels so unnatural at the moment!

Nice pic! The video should look great, assuming my camera work wasn't too terrible.

Thanks for today guys, had an awesome time!

Well, I figure I may as well come along and meet you guys, and have a go at the gentler lanes where I'm unlikely to get stuck. Then I'll get myself some basic recovery kit and a CB for next time.
