lo-fi Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The normal hay delivery couldn't get through, so the rural life support machine did its thing: The little sankey behaved so well on treacherous roads, I was very impressed. It did amuse me having a mini snow drift inside the window in the morning: Blew in through the tiny gap between the two window panes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Got home from work yesterday in this but found a core plug blown and a frozen engine on 45 clearly the leak it's had has diluted the antifreeze. D'oh should of checked it earlier. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyoldgit Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 No snow drift pics but this was taken after the first fall earlier in the week. Got to say I continue to be impressed with the Ranger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get the Audi beached today, first time ever stuck! Friendly farmer towed me out Good roads..... And some nice drifts.... All good fun and made it around in one piece, corners are a joy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I pulled a Mercedes out of a ditch this morning: In the evening I towed a polish articulated truck up a hill. No picky as my phone was flat. Great day! Daan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Pushed 4 cars to turn them around on Thursday. Think they were surprised to see the occupant of a Defender with winch get out and push rather than tow. But from previous experience by the time they (if they) find the tow eye I'm better of having pushed them by hand. Conclusion of the morning, on average (in the SE) , the general public are ungrateful and haven't a clue how to drive. One chap couldn't even turn the steering wheel the right way when reversing. Spent last night and this morning ferrying mid wives to and from the hospital. Heated seats and the two dogs in the L322 went down a treat. They and I have just had a nice nap on the sofa to make up for it. No Land Rover pictures but do have this from this morning after dropping the last lass off at home. 10 point to anyone who recognises the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Most of the snow is gone from Suffolk now. Did mange a good couple of days of Landie fun though 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve King Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I had to go into Bromsgrove today so that our 9 year old little one could buy a birthday present for her friend. I decided to drive the long way back via the (tarmac) lanes between Stoke Prior, Tardebigge and Finstall. Impressive snow drifts in places up to 4 ft deep! The local farmers have cleared most of the lanes. Apologies for the poor quality phone pics, but Leah did the best she could!

Popular Post tuko Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yesterday my good friend David and I were out playing on a local farm where we able to get permission to enjoy the weather with our Land Rovers. Basically we decided that David can break trails, he drives with 35's year rounds. I drive a lot of miles during the winter so I opt for studded 235's. Even with the 35's it didn't take very long for David to bury the 90. Even though I was following David, I was still plowing snow and as we can see in this picture it was up to my headlights. No chance, David never even saw the ditch and when he felt it, it was too late. Lunch on the trail. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Great pics - What a brilliant day that must have been! That front man will have to get some lockers on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 If it's anything like my trip to Yorkshire last weekend then lockers will only get you more stuck Mate was having trouble getting through some drifts on a lane so managed to swap places so I could go through with slightly taller tyres and rear locker. Ended up getting beached on the snow. All four wheels were actually off the ground and it was being supported by diff on the layer of ice on the snow. Ended up having to be pulled back a few times. After someone look a wander down the lane we decided to about turn since we were at the lower end of up to a 6ft drift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We had all our snow on Friday, started properly half an hour before I left work. Was in the Merc, not too much trouble with good winter tyres. Some fun with the ESP "disabled". By the time I picked up the Range Rover on Saturday, this was all that was left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portals and bigger tyres are the sensible solution then... and a V8, they waste that much heat the snow would've melted under you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
