I’m pretty flexible on what other trails we do.

I thought this also! Those Dacia’s are getting up everything 😂 Defender 110 2.4 TDCi Utility Station Wagon.

I would of loved to tag along but on Thursday my Crankshaft decided to self destruct. Sad 25 miles after a cam change.

Ohhh heck! That’s frustrating! Do you mean a Cambelt change? Did you do it, or a garage? Defender 110 2.4 TDCi Utility Station Wagon.

Garage had done the belt change. I’ve dropped a Email into Landrover but not holding out much hope.

Assuming you had the belts changed without the oil pump being changed too? Defender 110 2.4 TDCi Utility Station Wagon.

That’s correct. I did book it in for a new oil pump but once the garage opened the top end they could see the oil pump had already been replaced. Unfortunately I bought the vehicle with full service history but no mechanical history. There was a cam belt replacement sticker under the bonnet with no date. With only 128000 on the clock I thought it would be wise to get the cam belt changed just incase.

Edit: sorry for thread jacking.

Ouch! But, at least, you weren't half way up a Welsh mountain at the time. You could always be a passenger?

Thank you. If the current pandemic was not going on I would definitely do that. 8)

Puff kindly showed me a couple of lanes local to here on Sunday. There were a couple of instances of 'gunfire graffiti'.

Congratulations Kevin!

HWN - Where were they then? Wasn't looking tbh.

I might be around, might not, depending on partner and building works/builder

Spotted one sign with a single hit and then a triangular warning sign that had almost none of the paint left and was well and truly peppered by shotgun pellets and bullets. I tried looking on Google Streetview but couldn't see it. It may have been on the approach to Llidiad-Nenog itself. In any case, avoid dressing in grey with a silver hat having a red border...

Just bumping this thread incase there are any fellow South Wales members lurking - I am going to get myself organised for some green lanes in the area once the lockdown ends.


I’ve driven the Eglwysilian route in a basics D3 back a few years ago. I’d love to tag along to this if possible?
