After no internet and no calls for the past few days I am back..... yesterday we went to town and took some pictures on the way home:

then just befor exiting the lake we saw a Freelander looking a bit stranded with the owner out of it (his missus looked Censored off) so went to see if all was OK. Because he broke the salty surface his road tires were going nowhere in the clay like stinky bog underneath. How happy was he when he saw I had the recovery gear and then dragged him out Smile Good karma for the rest of the day.

@SGH - thanks, nice looking controller
@Glyn - great photos - time it rained there ?

Insulated my battery box from underneath using the army insulation stuff from the bay.

In the evening, took bigRuss out for a trip around the dark country lanes to demo my LED bar and amber duallys.

When we got back, Russ was writing stuff on his Christmas list - can't think what Rolling with laughter

I have thought of fitting the original black grille but getting light surrounds painted Orkney Grey to match. Another option was the Entreq old school surrounds but Brendan has not replied to my post for cost.

Hi,

I fitted the NK engine blanket and did the back as well then the heavons opened, decided that meant I could go and watch the football. Also fitted a couple of "Blind Spot" mirrors.

Off to see Killer90 for a few bits tomorrow. _______________________________

Rescued this afternoon first of all a stuck AA van and then a stuck Peugeot from a Byway. My first real recovery and all went well. Except for a sodding branch that got caught between the wheel and wheelarch eyebrow:

I've got a Britpart one on mine, and for the first time in Britpart's history, they managed to make something that ACTUALLY fits! Very Happy Very Happy An engine to TDi for!
