We're abouts did you go? There's some cracking lanes up there. It's just over the border for me Whistle

Fitted my birthday prezzie, an Albrecht AE6891 + stinger aerial.

I like the remote front panel and have mounted it where the ashtray used to be. The main unit is attached out of the way on the back of the cubby box.

Should come in handy when I'm next out on Salisbury Plain Very Happy

If you don't mine me asking, where did it come from? I found them for sale (4X4 CB I think) but they don't do them anymore. I can only find the AE6890 now without the remote screen Confused An engine to TDi for!

Visiting my parents' place in Mold - 'tis where I grew up. Just a flying visit though - no opportunities for laning just yet (although I may hit up your knowledge closer to the time that I do, if that's ok?) 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

Currently watching the guy from LR Assist fix my truck. Another turbo house issue - it had the new type on from the factory, but it's been rubbing against the alternator belt and has worn through. Currently getting patched ahead of a trip to the dealer tomorrow... 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

Fitted the roof tent and foxwing ready for another year of camping trips.

I was only meant to be repairing an eyelet on the tent, but I got excited and decided to start the full kit out earlier than planned. So an hours job turned in to a full afternoon of tinkering.


Oh, and a full service in the morning, so all in all one of those rare occurrences........a full day on the land rover. Thumbs Up
