Surely it would have reversed off with the difflock in? or did the hi-lift need a bit of usage anyway :lol:

Hi,
I did try to reverse off it with the diff lock in, but it didn't seem to want to leave me and all I achieved was to drag it backwards and forwards leaving a trail of plastic on the road. But you are right about the Hi Lift. it is a while since its been used in anger and I think it took me and the dog longer to dig it out from all the other kit than it did to free ourselves. I must have a sort out as it appears from reading some of the replies to my original post, that I may need it again as these low flying objects are more common than you might think. :grin:

Great story, and I'd love to have seen you on the road, then tried to work out what the hell you were doing!!!
I was driving down the A1 a few months ago following a scrappies/pikies flat bed, when the house door, that was perched ontop of the conifer trimmings decided it wanted to escape, lifted off the said conifers and 'flew' straight over the top of us in a Peugeot 307 and smashed onto the road behind us. Door, fittings, frame et al. Scary!!
I flashed my lights, tooted my horn, I think they knew what happened, they just decided to ignore the fact!!

A mate of mine was riding someone else's motorbike along the A12 when a ladder made a bid for freedom from the roof of the van in front. It went end-over-end and stopped against the front wheel of the bike. A very lucky escape. :shock:
J.D.:
I was on my way to college and was following a Hilux pickup with a rigid bottom dinghy in th eback lent against the bulkhead behind the cab. Matey pulled on the motorway, put his foot down and the bit of garden twine holding it on snapped and the dinghy went over my Astra into the artic behind on the M4.
Wasn't a lot left of it after the artic had finished with it, and the driver was no too impressed, nor were HATO when they arrived.
