For more tips...speak to Neal (RatCav) and/or Rob (RobFog) because they took my gearbox off twice (and thankfully refitted it twice too )....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. I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

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   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 ? I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.
