docholiday Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 dont let alex4x4 see this he will be telling us his rice burners could have pulled two at once with heated seats and playing classical music on the radio. :yp: :yp: :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Actually my heated seats were on most of the day The other truck I pulled out was owned by M&S. The driver took my address to see if he can get them to send me a few goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver took my address to see if he can get them to send me a few goodies. SNAP, M&S artic lorry blocked the A3 this morning closing it, made my way up the few hundred meters of cars, pull in front of him and the copper took one look at my 110 and laughed. 2 mins later all conected up and pulled him the 3/4 mile up the hill. He took my name address etc and said i would get a very nice 'Thank You' in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One chap had a whale of a time clearing a road in Scotland. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/what-tyres-best-snow-125663-8.html My hat goes off to him, cracking effort. He makes a few very good points about how people should take more responsibility for themself and their vehicles! If people do go out in this weather please know where your tow point is and have a warm jacket and hat in your car, van etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Was out towing yesterday. The 90 just effortlessly drags cars (which includes a woman who left her handbrake on) over a hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on ya, Im sure you will get some kind of thank you from them, as each trailer (if it was loaded) would have had 20k+ worth of goods on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfletch Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Very good, But have you noticed a wile ago 4X4 was the scum of the road using more fuel etc so the road tax went up. Its a different story now there needed to ferry nurses and health works everywhere plus tow lorries out of trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 My rear diff went today in the 90 What's upsetting is that I was just driving along the road and this almighty bang happened, followed by a grinding noise. :( Managed to hobble back with the diff lock engaged, but it's looking like a costly Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 were you in low range? Send the bill to the woman who left her handbrake on No, I didn't drop it into low range. It was a ford focus, so I thought it'd be fine. Do you really think that's the cause?! I'm kicking myself if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Have a look at this then.

I'm kicking myself if it is. I wont have helped and may have just pushed the diff over the edge. http://www.gearbox-mts.com/axels-and-differentials.html might be worth asking about fitting a cross axle lock if your having the diff tripped and exchanged (standar dlandy diff lock is a transfer box lock not an axle lock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that to get one at short notice, it'll be £150 for the diff I'll ask the local Landy garage down the road, as they're usually not bad for parts.
