When Ully welded the diffpan on my Rangie, the spike made the ABS ECU go into "I give up " mode.
only fixed with a new ecu.

I have a 200 tdi one too, copy easily made.

I decided to do the trials special, i thought i would have enough grip on the grass but it was more like driving on ice! It's just one of those things, i should have looked at the other one first
I did manage to get through the second gate once i built up some speed
with 4 seconds to spare!We were the marshalls on SS2 we didnt get a break in proceedings all day, people kept saying they didnt fancy SS1,
we set out the balls in such a way that as you drove to one "easy" one for 50 points you hit the tree and lifted the ball, a few worked out to go sideways or reverse to it. one or two drove to it with the bonnet open
after watching a few of the competitors it became obvious there was an easier way to the hidden blue ball, as some smart arse drove next to it and opened the door to claim it.
great weekend thanks all.

I only use genuine parts now, or Hardyspicer brand, yes there is a similar boxed ones, I had a pair in for 5000 miles before that familiar vibration again.

The wifes Rangie did that, turned out to be a leaking pipe to the oil cooler, topping up effected a repair until I got a new pipe.

You get what you pay for, as said above.

I wondered if the rocks had been moved to try make it unpassable to 4x4s?
also nobody drives up these days only down, I was in the non shiny other group to Q we did drive it.

And they are the same people who will continue to use the lane after a closure.

Easier said than done Ralph, I have never trusted the damn thing since it blew a core plug on the M5 with a box trailer full of cakes behind it
That escapade obviously weaked every hose and gasket on the thing, loads of hoses and gaskets (including two head gaskets and a head skim) later I am beginning to wonder if I should have just pressed on that day on the M5 and hoped it caught fire 
Will
eat a lot of cakes do you?

nice one

A mate of mine lives half the year in Croatia, (not yet in the EU) he drives into italy MOT s the car and keeps legal that way, its not registered as being in croatia, he has to leave every few months for some legality, he nips over the border to do some shopping or fill up and keeps the till receipts in the car.
