Default Day out Off road.

So it took me around 25 minutes to get there this morning & I was first there, I paid my 20 quid & told the Dude that I would be taking it easy as I had just got the Landy 2 weeks ago, Sure he said Enjoy yourself.
I wandered off around some rutts which the Landy took in it's stride & then I came across this BIG hole full of muddy water, Without hesitation I dropped in, Got a part way across it & me Landy died.
The Landy filled up with water up to my seat/knees it was Ace. This is me standing/crouching on the seat to get my batty out the water.

We seem to have had a small leak in the back as well.

This was the view out my window which I climbed out of & on to the wing, Then the bonnet, I slung a line across & hooked up the winch off the disco bottom shot & they dragged me out. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Not so fast !!! I turned the engine over & it just locked up.
So I tells the dudes I know **** all about Landys & they advised me, In short I popped the glow plugs out & turned it over shooting water out the head, Then I took the pipes off & drained the water out, The bottom of the cvooler was at such an angle the water was trapped. I had to take a pipe off the motor & use it as a straw sucking the muddy water into my mouth & spitting it out. + (You may have to read that again to take that in )
So just as I was putting her back together my mates turned up Laughing.
I cranked her over & she started first ******** time for ***** sake.
So I let her tick over & then got back to it, Had a good few hours in the rutts & wandering around the site, Kin Perfect day.
I learnt a Heck of a lot today & came back Beaming.

The Guys from 3DS4x4 laughed saying "I thought you were taking it easy, Can't wait to see you going for it"
