Try Overfinch as they use to fit them to RRs. They use to use a chevy main box with a LT230 on the back of it.

Cheshire are the same, so are Wrexham but most are pants. But most people can find the lanes on a map, its the LOS what will throw a new ones up.

Got this back.
LoS is generally a hard copy but some authorities have it digitized. You can go to the offices and view it and if you ask nicely (or are left alone) can get digital photos of it. I don’t think you can request a copy under FoI but it’s worth a try and you may have to pay for it but they have to tell you how much first.

After November you will not be able to drive RB/RUPPs. But BOATs and ORPAs will still be ok.

Some will send a copy out if you ask, if not take a digital camra with you and take photos of it. Not sure about doing it under the freedom of information act, but I will ask someone.

At a guess (and it is just a guess) the communal areas of the estate will have been adopted by the council at the same time as the roads, in which case they'll be subject to whatever bylaws your local council has. Which almost certainly means no, not legal without specific permission from the council.
Of course, it may belong to one of your neighbours, in which case time to get them interested in land rovers
Thats my point, if you can get the land owners permission then you can drive over it. But it might be still owned by the people who build the houses and not adopted.
They build a new supermarket in Oswestry few years ago, the road leading past it (as a through road) and turning into it was never adopted by the council. So the super market could stop people using at any time. Just leaving it as access to the supermarket and no through road. But most people do not know this as there is only one sign at one end stateing "Undopted Road".

thanx for clearing that up Paul. do 'one way' TROs exist or did i imagine hearing about that? im under the impression that the exist to make some lanes only driveable downhill. obviously most chances of damage are when climbing & needing more power.
No "one way" TROs do not exist, but unless signed correctly then they are not valid TROs. I think some lanes can/could be made one way as it would be better than loseing them.

i thought if there wasnt a TRO notice displayed then the TRO wasnt valid? i can think of one lane (near boxhill) which only has a TRO in one direction as far as im aware. so the TRO notice is only at one end.
Yes. If there is no sign or notice at the end you start from its not a valid TRO. Thats why I said read the notices as sometimes the council forget to update them and if out of dade then they are not valid either.

Depends on who owns the land?

Very well put, but I have never had a problem with them or anyother courier for that matter. Must be just where you live

where and how would some one get said list Paul?
Email the Highways DEPT of the county council. You will be surprsied on how many can be found.
If its on the list of streets its leagal to drive. If it looks like it has not been used for years then walk it before driving it.

Best way of getting "new" lanes is to get a copy of the List Of Streets from the Highways Dept and look on a map. There are some on the LOS that are not on the maps. Lost Lanes so to speak, these are fine to drive and some would have not been used for years!!! If everyone dose this you will be suprised how many that can be found. I know of a few around here, one I plann to do as soon as my winch is working , just in case. It has not been used for years, its a long one as well. But I will do it down hill to start as its easer to do.
If I see someone driving a TRO delibrately, I will report them to anyone and everyone who will listen and stand up in court as a witness. That way it's one less idiot spoiling what's left of one of my favourite pastimes.I have reported people before and will do it again.
As for a TRO, if it is not signed correctly then it is not a legal TRO. Also even if it is signed correctly then read it and take a close look at he dates on the sign!!!

Carnt give you legal advice, But the police have powers to take the vehicle the FIRST time. No need for warnings. Have done for over 12 months.
As for prosecuting you , it can be the land owner, not the tenant, for treaspassing for one and theres lots of others that can be taken into account depending on what you are doing. The police will only do you for motoring or public order offences.
One thing to remember is you only have to give you name and address to a policeman in uniform and no one else. Not even a CID officer.

How much work would it be to fit Cruiser axels to a LR?
I know 2 people running Cruisers, one on 35" simexs and one on 37" Procomps. They never seem to break anything.
