    BTW keep an eye on the off road section. I'm doing another Salisbury run as soon as I've had my ridiculously noisy tappets seen to.
    I NEED TO OFFROAD!

      So you've doubled up the sound proofing under the bonnet?

          Whoops! Hope it's not too much to fix! I think that puddle should officially be named "the widowmaker"!

          I definately recommend washing out the rad as well....

            Puddles- pah! The Surf is a natural wading machine!



            PS- Neil - I've flooded my interior too "Daddy, daddy my feet are getting wet.....". Not much you can do other than clean it out as best you can. Luckily I did mine in the summer and could leave the doors open for a few hours. Sound like you got more depth inside than I did though.....

              No, it looks like its coming to see you for a water pump and the tappets. Oh and the pump is not to remove water from the interior either!

                Is that because you would wear it out to quickly ?

                  well it looks like I've joined the binin club! Thought i was breaking new ground

                  I'll be making more effort to join a ride out instead of going it alone now, the point has become blindingly clear! Gotta be a laugh too.

                        And we're only just round the corner, we could have come to help, shame Gav's turbo is blown and the truck still ain't moving yet after Brick Kiln Farm

                        Gav saw his photo last night and whooped at other people posting photos of him in the puddle - he sensibly didn't properly try attacking "the puddle" until he'd fitted the snorkel and the mud tyres!

                            I took my shogie off road to a sand quarry.
                            I watched a few landys get stuck and went round a different way.
                            On the way back the car sank in quick sand to just above the bottom of the doors. So it was in by about 28" or so.
                            It wer well stuck!
                            A nice chap in his landy pulled me out, but not before I pulled his front bumper and part of his chassie off!
                            The moral of the day was,
                            take a 10 tone strap with you
                            make sure it is long
                            Make sure the bit you tie it to can stand the test
                            always try to break the other persons car (its cheeper!)
