Thanks for that, sounds promising. I'll get in touch with the Somerset and Wilts club and hopefully can sort something soon.

Does anyone happen to know of any clubs or get togethers planned in the Somerset/Dorset/Wilts areas? I am hoping to find some people in the area for some days out offroading, but I don't have social media and am struggling to find much through Google. Perhaps if some people were interested...

Is there anyone based around the Somerset/Dorset area who can please shed some light on some good offroad pay & play or general good spots to go? I have a Defender and I've recently moved near Yeovil, however it seems the surrounding area is extremely low on byways. It'd be great to have...

Currently based in mid Somerset

Thanks for that! I have had one quote back from a mobile mechanic company, and for the same work he has quoted £840, so still a fair bit, but quite a difference. The front caliper and pads from the original garage seem extortionate. Brake discs and pads replacement - rear 1 - 2 hours labour...

Yes, labour included

Thanks!

I would like to do it myself, but I am working out of the country for the next month (marine engineer), and my partner has it in the garage back home, so wanted to check with some people more in the know!

Yeah they still have the V888 form, and a set of guidelines on how/what information to request. But I can imagine that they won't just give you the details and instead pass it on to the owner

Good idea. Will give it a go. Thanks.

Hi, unfortunately I don't have facebook but a few people are saying this so may give it a go.. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I have emailed the DVLA and hopefully they can shed some light on this. There is a V888 form where you can request info from them, however it's not a valid reason for the info.
