Thanks guys. Hdj81 is a 5 seater but that's not the problem, we were pretty packed with 2 of us and all the toys so with baby stuff too it's a bit much. The real clincher was not being able to sit up in bed to feed at night. It's a shame but as Andy says, sometimes you just have to go in a...

Hi All, It is with a heavy heart that I must sell Bolly. She's taken us on some amazing camping trips around the south west and through France. Unfortunately the family is expanding and we need more space so it is time for a van. I know you all love pictures so here is a gallery...

Mine did something similar, wouldn't stop one day then was fine for ages. A few months later it did it again and didn't stop until the starter motor had burned out itself and the 12/24v relay.

Thanks guys, Sounds like Karl has both so happy days. It will be nice to have the CDL working again - it's getting embarrassing wheel spinning around the farm with all the landrovers about!

Me too!! Karl you are a legend! I must be more active and start putting some photos up when I do work on the truck (not very exciting at the moment though - just a split charge system to a 3rd battery).

So, a bit of a crappy morning today. I stopped to pick up some stuff from my workshop and the truck wouldn't cut out - just kept cranking over. Not too far to the garage so thought I would drive it round there. Instruments started to die on the way and then just round the corner from the...

Hi All, It's been quite a while since I've been on here. I've not done as much to the 80 as I was planning due to lack of need after cancelling my overland trip when my co-driver dropped out. I am however on bed mk2 so here are a few pictures for you (I know how much you all love piccies...)...
