Truck casualties from The Plain.....

[The Lovely Boyo]

Me first...

Slid into the side of a deep rut and creased the front wing - then really trashed it when I opened the door - ouch.

Coming down the M4 a sudden growling, rumbling vibration from the front which is still there after 100km's - sounds very very expensive.


Sometimes I hate The Plain.

Any other truck damage guys????????

[MudSurfer]

I did almost all of it in 2WD as my poxy 4WD still doesn't work, and judging by the pics of the post luncheon sessions - I made the right decision to go home....

No damage to the truck, at all - but do have my belt squeal back again.. (or maybe that was just down to me eating too much )

[Woodzie]

Crunched my wing but not as bad as boyo and the power stearing belt is slipping

[sledge]

i got no damage, but the plain did fix my rather loud squeeling turbo, it's as quite as a mouse now and more power

The little known healing properties of the plain - respect the plain, and it will fix your turbo...

well a quick look over the truck and the only damage is even more dented front valance. Fixed tomorow with an angle grinder if the weather's good. Other damage is a bruised arse after landing on it lol. Still could have been worse, I could have rolled the truck if GWH hadn't towed me back

A huge thanks to Summinelse for providing sustinence.

AA arrived in 1/2 hour and found her about a litre short so topped her and home I came, but oil pressure is showing low

Will go and check oil in morning -

The seal? I guess your crank bearings are knackered too then.
