For more tips...speak to Neal (RatCav) and/or Rob (RobFog) because they took my gearbox off twice (and thankfully refitted it twice too :P)....so they have it down to a fine art now lol.

I don't know about Scott, I'm cacking my pants after watching that.

Are we now 2 vehicles down again ?
After watching the youtube clip I think we may have to open the trip up to the submarine owners club.

Oh well dutch courage could be called for :drink: :drink: :party:

Really looking forward to this now I'm away from tomorrow for 4 days so it's going to be a mad rush next Thursday sorting out the gear and packing to leave on Friday, what time are people arriving at the camp site ?
