If it helps, I'll swap your working FBH for mine, which isn't working... No smoke then :)

There's Wild Tracks, near Newmarket. Not been there so don't know much more than that.

As a native (almost) of Oaklands, I can say that there aren't any Byways in the immediate area, and not many in that part of the county :( And hello from a fellow Freelander driver :)

I bought a set of steel wheels for my Freelander for ~£50 on eBay and have fitted them with General AT² tyres: The steelies only come as a 15", and in silver - although nothing to stop you painting them... HTH :)

At the risk of stating the flipping obvious, the cig. lighter socket is only live when the ignition's switched on. ;) It's a PITA, and the first vehicle I've owned that's like that :confused: As for sat. nav. taking you over a gravel or uneven road, what's the problem with that? It's a...

Can I just point out that although my name is Gordon Brown (yes, really), I have nothing to do the government...! :o

Don't forget that the French have on-the-spot fines for most traffic offences - if you don't have the cash, they'll take you to a cash machine. It's handy to remember where you were stopped because it takes ages if you walk in the wrong direction. Also, if you're speeding excessively...

Colour printer and scissors? Could even laminate it too ;)

Why do you think I've got off-road ones? No Gatsos on byways. Yet. ;)

Indeed - the power of the orange side is strong. And more fun than the dark side. Orange and green - now there's a horrible combination!

I think LR themselves are selling them like that now - at least, my local (st|d)ealer had something similar in the showroom. Not my cup of tea really - I prefer something more understated. There are traces of mud on the wheels though, so perhaps it isn't as bad it looks :) (PS: Tell me you...
