    Fancy some Green laning in East Sussex near Pevensey

    I've started taking my roofrack off since I nearly ripped it off the other day. Sorry I haven't been in touch, snowed under, but haven't forgotten.

    Fancy some Green laning in East Sussex near Pevensey

    I'm sure I do mate, will PM you. Did Detling-Hollingbourne yesterday and it's quite overgrown in parts, but dry. Not sure how responsible it is to recommend taking a 110 through there, but if you're redecorating anyway won't do any real harm. I did it with the roof bars on. Most of that section...

    Fancy some Green laning in East Sussex near Pevensey

    It's broken up by various lanes etc, but you can search "pilgrims way" and follow it along both ways, although you'll have to zoom in for the grey lines. I tend to get on near ashford and follow up to the 249, but it's an ancient road which pilgrims followed from London (st Paul's iirc to...

    Fancy some Green laning in East Sussex near Pevensey

    PS I have a few big scratches too, but not from there. If it was that bad I wouldn't use it day to day. There are one or two I've stopped using, but I'm far from precious with my paintwork, fair warning.

    Fancy some Green laning in East Sussex near Pevensey

    I'd pull the rack unless you're worried about the roof, the disco has a few light scratches up top, but mostly on the sides. Cheap heavy load springs (not progressive) would give you a slight lift without compromising too much, and should reduce risk of bottoming out. That's my plan once the...

    Uprated springs might be the best underside protection you can get.

    Fancy some Green laning in East Sussex near Pevensey

    In a word : Tight. It's a long old road with a wide variety of conditions from crawling over roots, through mud, to smooth gravel, and the odd tarmac section past cottages etc. Was my first lane, and I do it regular to work and back, but not for a month or so now, been on hols. Never grounded on...

    Is it me or are you sitting low on the rear? Could be up for some lanes, or you can head over here for the pilgrims way some time. I'm not really finding any laning buddies out this way.

    Disco 2 Front Prop Hardy Spicer collapsing

    Should be OK, got to drive it with diff locked though. If he can get under to take the prop off he can give it a good twist and make sure he's right.

    Defender wheel positions / alignment

    Poly bushes will be easier by far to get in. Wire brush that trailing arm thread, give it a clout, drench it in WD40, leave it overnight, do it again in the morning and then go at it with an 18in bar. Once you've got your geometry sorted and you won't be wearing them all uneven you can look at...

    What's happening???

    +1 They can hunt a bit when cold, but it should be barely noticeable. You might get somewhere just lying underneath and turning props with various combinations of handbrake and gears, listening for the right clunk. Give them a good old crank though, as it's easy to miss rattles by not applying...
