Got stuck today
Yep how embarassing, had a 4 wheel trailer on (not mine) to tranship dirt to an old job for backfill, made a mess of the trailer so pulled off onto the grass so that I could wash it with the hose without mucking up the road, up hill with a shallow slope away from the road lost traction in 2 wheel and trailer made the rear end drift downhill, selected 4 wheel and nothing, first time I had used it with this motor, and had not bothered to check the hubs, now this customer has loads of vehicles including 4 x 4 but none with a tow point, so had to ring the Mrs to come and tow me out with her T2, needless to say replaced the off side hub which had a broken brake ring, bad day, and before you say it yes working Sunday as so much on, Rick
