to be honest, the only time i have had to show my passport in europe was to enter my own country, the uk. If I fly from France, I have to wait for hours to get through passport control (cos the e-readers are shit and dont work) the only ones you wont stop are the illegas, hiding in lorries, and...

Ok, I take back the poxy island bit back. I get very emotional about the UK and it's appalling political situation. In fact it's not just the UK with a problem, but most of the world. I just hope that the remain side are not correct and the UK can come through this and be a better place than it...

It is a small island Chas, and currently a laughing stock, well the so called government is. The armed forces are tiny, ill equipped, underfunded and short of many thousands of personnel. There is no empire, times have moved on.

I'm keeping out of it. Fugg it, no im not! Winston Churchill wanted a United Europe. My mother wants him back as pm, she also wants b&w tv, rickets and everything else that was British in the 40's. We have hardly spoken in a year. She went mental calling me a traitor as I live in France! They...

Get it done before 29th and you can escape the madness in it!

If there is snow I off to the desert!

Just got it Back stops much better now and brake peddle feed is good. New Intervolt charger thingy seems to be doing it's job, the hand brake even works.....better than it used to. Just got to find out why the reverse camera has stopped working...is there a switch on the gear stick, if so my...

I had Green stuff EBC pads on the 90 and they worked well on that. Sure they will be ok.

It turns out there was a cracked rear disc - so I ordered 2 new high performance ones from euro 4x4 with over night delivery....one turned up....and the 2nd 2 days later!..... .Just my luck.....Still hopefully tomorrow we can try it out

Cheers guys. With a it of luck I will get it back tomorrow. I am hoping the EBC pads are ok - like David, loaded it's about 3.5 t with the pooches and Mrs on board! My mech was going to vac bleed it too.

You tease!

Shut up! Too late, there on and I'm going! I hope there is a heatwave and the EBC pads are ultra stoppy...... can't be as bad as I have at the moment!........which tbf is air in the system somewhere..

Ahead of you there Shayne, new shoes and fitting kit in the boot, as are new EBC green stuff pads too! New winch, split charge system, 2 new Leisure batteries, a fix for the leaky fuel filler to sub tank (high up so not a major problem) and an oil service too! Ouch......he has had it for a week...

Not here it doesn't! When I get to Morocco in Feb, I might bloody well stay there

I hope that's all it is too. My mech phoned me yesterday afternoon to tell me why we couldn't get the handbrake to work......one of the discs is cracked.....!!! new pair on order and 'should' be with me tomorrow...meanwhile it's blocking his ramp......unless he puts it all back together again!

Great idea!

Thanks guys prime m s and vac bleed!

Having some work done on truck, but the mech can't get the brakes solid again. Changed master cylinder a few weeks ago as it had a leak and following the holiday, changed all the pads in each corner. He has bled it time and time again, to no avail. LSV has also been bled. With the engine...

Nice motor ;)

well impressed with my snowmaster

having bought shed loads on ebay, i have never sold anything! for the very reason of bottom burps offering stupid money! well done on the sale btw looked a good bit of kit

bloody eck Chas! I didnt hear one swear word! Glad your OK

Hi Will Welcome from me, in France too :) Sunny Dordogne.....(currently raining) I love the 79's but have found my dream in an 80 :) Hope you find one soon

Really tough to answer this one. We (through choice) don't have kids, but most of our friends do. I would help them out in an instant if I could. But.....if this poor kiddy doesn't know what's going on, then they should be getting equipment in to stimulate the senses (lights and other stuff)...

I have some heat shrink. Top idea!

lol, prickly bush syndrome!!!!!

Here you go, on top of the Picos Mountains looking down on the mist in the vally, just a couple of weeks ago!

wow, thanks guys, no need to worry then :) I might just bung a bit of tape on it. what a great forum this is. :)

Perhaps. I will have to try and find where it goes to!

Tis indeed a 12v starter conversion. I will have to investigate where tother end ends up!

awesome job! I love how the truck is looking, well done!

not on yer nelly!

This? found next to the l/s Aux battery. Un-conneted wire and one inside the box. nothing coming out of the top either. Should it be connected? Was searching for the old split charge relay which I think is on the other side. Answers on a post card to...me please :)

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing it. Brave and clever!

Thanks for that, still thinking which way to jump!

got me thinking now.........could buy more goodies with savings!

So at 8 1/2 years, they have do e well! Will get another pair when we get back. Cheers :)

Could be up for a change then :)

Ok will get a pair of yellows again. There isn't much room under the bonnet for a big single one. But with the Intervolt and new I am thinking along the same lines tbh. These things need regular use....the winch stopped too during a recovery of me! A few other things need addressing, I think...

Will watch him when we have Wi-Fi! Thanks I have a brand new Intervolt system sitting on my bench at home! Was going in the 90 but sold it!

Thanks Andy. Will look into a Smart charger.

Hi everyone. Currently in Spain on holibobs. I have 2 Optima yellow tops as leisure batteries and am trying to run my Fridge for more than a fees hours camped up with no electric hook up. If we stop at 5pm, the fridge freezer has switched off and lost 10-15 degrees of freeze by morning! I have...

crumbs, that was a close call!

Sorry to hear this Lazz. I am guilty of getting very attached to my dogs, and boy it's hard when they go :(

There is someone selling a 24v with 350k km for spares on a Facebook page......7500€......it does have a rusty twin wheel rear carrier though!

Indeed it is! Crazy prices in France for all used cars. I think that people keep them for longer and there is not the same company car culture hete, leading to fewer used cars available.
