my mate came to help me and its the glow plugs!
but we got it going and had a brill day and climbed chrome hill.
the truck got us through lots of snow and i love it.

I think ive found my next adventure.

You should be even more concerned about going out on your own:augie
Stuck anywhere with no help is bad, stuck in the snow is not funny.
OO er I sound all concerned :lol sorry ;)

Ah ha, you see how easy it is :augie
Chuck some old carpet in the back of your truck, handy for putting under skidding wheels for getting un-stuck with or without help :thumb2

Make the most of it as the Peak District are trying to close the green lanes to 4x4 trucks.
