A big thank you Elty for great lanes again.
Had a fantastic couple of weeks and the laning weekend was tops. What a Saturday night thanks to bigcaptainmorganbunny and Patrolmans timing.

:lol:lol
I missed some of the shenanigans on the Saturday night as I felt like shite and went off to bed at 11.30.
Ssshhhhh....stop having fun you lot:thumbs
 
Driving through the brakes. Great for steep downhill descents.

You left foot brake just enough so the Trol rolls to a stop. Leave your left foot where it is then increase the revs with your right to overcome the force from the brakes. Gives you lots of control over your descent speed (just lift your foot of the throttle to slow down). Also, as the brakes are now the overriding force on the diffs it fools them into equalising the power across the wheels, basically giving you locked diffs.

Downside is it works the box a bit so things start to heat up and it shouldn't be used for an extended period. I wasn't thinking and overused it which boiled the fluid and a clutch pack :doh :(

Hope you get it sorted out Rob:thumb2
You're not the only one that limped home.
My water pump gave up the will to carry on with about 40 miles to go.
We pulled up for an hour,had a brew while the engine cooled down, topped up the radiator and it lasted for the rest of the journey.
:cool:
