LOL! Yep! Newbury 4x4 is a company in Newbury. Nice peeps!

Yeah but honestly...if you saw the mud...she should not have got stuck. I got it wrong. End of. I created the mud and the problem. I didn't deal with it properly. Road tyres or non road tyres I got it wrong. But fortunately I have a friend with a tractor! If someone who knows what they are...

I have used them before and they are very reasonable and nice people.

Thanks. I will look into all terrain tyres. I cant afford to change them all at the moment.

I was thinking about popping down to Newbury 4x4! :)

They should have gone to specsavers...

Sadly she does have a name, Saffy (had Eddy (Range rover), Patsy- (Mx6) and Saffy (Defender)- AbFab) and yes, I do tell her she is a good girl! I also have a Frogeye Sprite called Bananas. :D Not sure what i would call a tractor! Maybe Kevin.

I don't go through the fields often. It was just that I had to fix some rails which were at the far end. I tend to walk across usually, mainly to protect the grass. She went across first time without any real problem but I think the second time I needed the diff lock on as the mud was already...

Ok Have looked at the manual and don't have TC. But it does look as if i didn't do the right thing with the diff lock.

I will have a look through the manual later. I pushed the lever to the right and up to Low. So was i just in low range and not diff lock? When would that be helpful? I think I must have got the diff lock on eventually by trial and error as the light came on. So next time, diff lock to the left...

Is that the one that I have to wait to go off before i turn the engine on? If so, yes. it comes on. What does it do? I just know I have to wait until it goes off before i turn on the engine.

Based Hants Berks border near Newbury. I did the Landrover experience course (albeit some years ago now) but it is so long since i have had to use the diff lock I had forgotten what to do. The other thing that has confused me is the post that said, high gear, low range and diff lock. How do I...
