Oh, I missed the finer details of what happened after you left the quay side at Trago mills, later on I was concentrating on finding out how many pints of Betty Stoggs were required to dull the pain of a fractured wrist!
It was a bit painful driving back, next day especially with no power steering, got that sorted now though....TOYOTA LJ70 landcruiser PAS box fitted. better than a landrover one.....all the Dextron 2 stays in the box rather than over the floor.
didnt the wheels fall off Shaz trailer or someting too? and Matts brake damper exploded oil everywhere?

Only the true nutters buy a Defender here in the US.. The dealers stopped supporting them the day after they sold them and that was in 1997.
