Second wedding anniversary this weekend so taking the Wife to our favourite restaurant tomorrow night and then off to a spa hotel for the night in Stratford-upon-Avon on Sunday.

Which one? We stayed in the Menzies a few years ago. It was excellent.

Ettington Park which is actually just outside of Stratford itself. It's not a 'true' Spa hotel as you can't get treatments there (I've just learnt!) but has all the usual pool, steam rooms and so on.

Sounds lovely. Have a great time!

It's loud as it is. I love it but it's hard up against the diffuser and rattling like fk at 2k revs. Not ideal.

Can't you wedge a broom handle in there and lever the undertray around a bit?

I'm just going to get my old exhaust put back on, I prefer it anyway and it doesn't rub on the diffuser (saying that, this one didn't until it had an MOT a couple of weeks ago).

4 suspicious looking scrotes in a grey estate turn around in our dead end road... stop, take a long look at our house and driveway, one points at the Land Rovers, they have a discussion and drive off quickly when I stick my head out of the front door and look straight at them

Wheel clamps have been ordered and my Audi will be left across/blocking the driveway from now on

chav bd, chicken & mushroom lock opener s

I miss living on the boat... 24 hour security, key operated car park barriers, 130 neighbours all on first name basis and always someone walking about day or night.
Nice safe and secure...

Hidden marine battery switch with the key out? Loads of places to hide one on a Landie.

Mine has 2 one obvious and one hidden, and a hidden switch somewhere else... and the wiring has been modified so much you need to flip unlabelled switches and turn the key in a specific order.

Dads has locks on all the pedals, the steering wheel, hand brake and gearlever

It can take 10 minutes just to get ours ready to start and that's WITH the keys

The clamps are really just a visual deterrent and "we saw you looking and know exactly what you're doing" kind of message

That and a car blocking the driveway should tell them to try elsewhere... we hope

It's the Land Rover equivalent of Trivial Towers.

Is it the law to carry a Haynes manual in a LR Defender as I saw a 55 one with it in the back.

Ohhhh you pull the Albarn on me and now want use of my fan. Hah!

I'm perched on the window seat. Feel free to come buy me a large JD by way of apology and I'll think about it.
