Hi, COuld you send me some pictures please.

Will send you a PM mate.

I want to come, just trying to get my mate to commit to coming as well. Hopefully see you there! :)

Definately interested, wanted to do Melton Mowbray area for a while!

Thanks for the heads up! Will keep an eye out the new mag.

Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd create a Green Laning topic for the area as there doesn't seem to be a previous thread. I wondered who was about and might be interested in a day out laning sometime? I'm often around the North West part of Leicestershire, Coalville / Measham / Twycross etc...

Disco is now back up and running :) Checked all the valve clearances this morning and they where all out by a tiny bit, amazing how a little adjustment can make the engine run or not. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Looking back in hindsight yes I should have done that. Lesson learnt i suppose.

I didn't really think changing the rocker would make such a difference, but then I've also replaced the Valve Caps as well at the same time. Thinking about it now it's probably a mixture of everything has changed the clearances. Fingers crossed it works haha.

Took the rocker assembly off last night. The shaft has broken between cylinder 3 and 4. There are a couple of studs that felt loose so I will helicoil these, my only question is how to people gain access to Helicoil the stud at cylinder 4? The bulk head seems to be in the way and there's...

From my short experience of off roading you can never have enough recovery points.

Thanks for the advice everyone :)

No mate. We just used an OS map to find the lanes, started off near Tissington and worked out way up past Bakewell and then over to Buxton.

I went into the peaks yesterday for the first time with a friend. All I can say is wow!

Thanks Fanatic. I'll give it a try.

Hello, I've noticed a slight knocking on my 300tdi for a little while, after doing some investigation I found the bolt securing the rocker shaft on cylinder 4 to be loose. I tried to tighten it up but it wouldn't tighten at all, so I took the stud out to find it brought the thread out of the...
