Fully sorted now folks, new bushes and washers picked up from a place just outside Whitehaven and fitted in the full force of the weather this afternoon! Happy days. Laning tomorrow with a bit of luck! Thanks again for your replies Chris

Hello! Thanks for your responses last night. Ended up going into b and q, buying some very large washers and some shock cord to make an improvised bush/packing to get me to ravenglass. Have been given the contact for a local bloke who will hopefully have the bits to effect a better repair...

Don't think they are td5 specific, have put together a backcountry fix for now. will hopefully be able to pick up some bits for it tomorrow or maybe Saturday as I suspect nowt will be open with it being good Friday. thanks for your advice chaps.

Speed bump 15mph on the way into Rivington services. Annoyingly on my way to ravenglass for a holiday!

110 csw. Td5. I think the issue is crap washers rather than big bump sadly

The ones that sit under the rear axle are both gone! Hit a bump in the road and the two washers that retain them have both failed- think shocks topped out and ripped them through! Chris

Hi all, Have somehow managed to damage both bottom bushes on my rear shocks, has anyone got any in Chorley spare a could put on please and could lend me the tools to swap them. Currently sat in halfords carpark! Have good phone coverage where I am. Many thanks in advance Chris

If it isn't cured- try brimming it with fuel and keeping it pretty full and see if it manages to behave, and of the problem once again manifests itself as the fuel level drops. my td5 'fender exhibited this fault and I chased it about for about 6 weeks ( filter head valve, injector...

Yes. Contact Ian Brown. If you search HIGHLAND ALL TERRAIN on Google it brings his company up. I used to work forum. You'll have a great time. Chris

Been a bit out of the loop recently. Had I known I would've turned out. Glad to hear everything/everyone OK in the end. Chris

Hi, My mate has got a full set of 750 16 goodyear wranglers on defender steels- they are in very good condition and the tyres have plenty of tread on them if you are interested. They are located on the outskirts of Rotherham, so not too far from you. He wants £160 for them as they are in his...

Hi, please could you send me a picture of the drivers side wing? Is the outer skin in good order as that the only bit I really need! Chris

I can get out there but not for at least an hour and a half. Alternatively. Have ramps, tools and kettle about 10 miles from Penistone if it will limp that far. Can someone pass on my number please as messaging from a phone. What tools are required? Chris

Hi Paul, No worries, Ill be interested to find out which other ones are allocated as byways around here and have a look at them- there is some information available on the internetweb via the Barnsley council website but its not very clear. Chris

If its any use to you I live near Barnsley and can check the lanes out. We drove one (up to where it was completely blocked by a fly tipped kitchen) and have walked part of another (blocked by a load of farming equipment) recently and I understand the status of some others are being reviewed at...

Hello, Wondering if we might be ok to tag along on a laning trip, and if possible come out and say hi beforehand rather than just turning up? Moved to South Yorks a couple of years ago and now have a landrover again and want to get out but don't really know an of the local lanes that well...

Yes it certainly will, I will PM you in a bit. In the mean time if you are still trying to get the interior clean/fresh Trigene (disinfectant vets use!) is a good shout. I use it after working in mucky water/sewers/floods..........

Following on from this thread (sorry only a recent member) looks like you had a lucky escape last year, hope you are well and that your new project comes together. Part of my work is flood warning and the other part training Fire guys etc in Swiftwater rescue. This is a perfect example of...

Annoyingly this swap wpuld be ideal for me, however I am in South Yorkshire.....

I left by choice, to move in with my fiancé in Yorkshire and for better job prospects. Would move back tomorrow if I could find decent work back up in the highlands- absolutely loved it up there never got tired of driving down the side of Loch Laggan each day to work.......... Took delivery...
