Wiltshire Weekender

Post by zook123 » Tue Jul 19, 2016 9:35 am

So, i've managed to upload the small selection of pics that myself and Ethan took on the Saturday.

It's the first time i've met a handfull of members from here since starting on the forum - before it even existed!

So, here's my selection of pics + vids!

Before I met everybody - nice and clean!

We went down many byways, had some lunch, and then went on another route, to which we were advised by some Greenlaners that you wouldn't pass as the water/mud was too deep, I let Ju go in his Jimny (as it had a snorkle and I didn't!)
Turns out, it was pretty deep, so the decision was made to attach the Jimny to the Vitara, and get pulled through!

I then had to shoot off to a wedding reception, so had to travel over an hour to the destination, got there in one piece, the Jimny on the otherhand, had wee'd everywhere.

Looks like either the Main Oil Seal has failed, or a leaky sump - I'm hoping it's the leaky sump!

Again, thanks to all for a brilliant Saturday, hope to see you again in the near future!

Yeah, i'm hoping that it's just the sump leaking, but I think it might be something more sinister, only time will tell!

Did anybody else get pics?
