[Lakes]

Hello

Anyone from here who might like to meet up in the Lakes?

I'm just down the road in Lancashire.

Thank you much for the information! having a working immobiliser can only be a good thing - and may also help with the insurance.

I'll look out on ebay for a fob.

any further with this? dates picked ?

If you grab the vehicle high up the windscreen pillar and rock it a few times and let go you should be able to judge if it is behaving normally - does it return to normal in in one cycle?, is the front the same as the back? does the front and back have the same amount of travel? What does the other side do?

I was going to make this point - if your shocks are knackered you'll have no damping - only the spring.

So any travel on the suspension will be 'bouncing' until the energy is dissipated. The damper serves to dissipate the energy within a single bounce.

I saw this in the other thread and am very interested in it too.

Where is the unit located?

Why was it put there, but not activated, if all it requires is programming and the price of a key fob?

seems bizarre!

I've no access to a nonocom though - so would be going to either a main dealer or an independent to get it activated.

Any suggestions for which would be better?

[Another succesfull SVA test]

That's an encouraging and informative read. Thanks and well done.

Can I ask what the implications of not having a receipt or two would be?

I've been given some fairly major parts and don't have anything for them...

I'd like to come - but it will depend on the dates as to whether I can get the time off work.

Thanks guys

If anyone fancy's some company on it, let me know when you're going, and I'll try to meet you there.

I donated too.

Good luck to them.

[The old coach road]

Hello folks

This is my first post.

Here are some pics of my first green lane up in the lakes. Normally I climb the fells in the Lake District ... but a stomach bug meant it'd be better if I didn't have to get out of the car....

So I thought I'd try the Old Coach road.

The weather smiled on us and low sun broke through to light up St Johns in the Vale. Fantastic

Here are some pics.

[Tow ropes]

Could anyone offer me an opinion on a tow rope please?

Is this reasonable value and quality?

Any info gratefully received.

[Category B Driving Licence questions]

May I ask a noobie question on this subject please!

If there is no requirement to have seat belts on sideways facing seats - what's the requirement to have proper seats?.

Barring the insurance criteria and what is stated on the V5 of course, what would the situation be with just sitting on the body's box section with a nice clean rubber mat

[Remove the EGR valve]

Good post.

Before too long I'll be doing this on my defender. If I remember, I'll take some pics of mine when I do that.
