Hi everyone. It pains me to say that my dream car is up for sale due to ill health. Built by Julian at Overland Cruisers a few years ago, no expense has been spared. I would like the off road trailer and roof tent along with snomaster fridge freezer and drop slide to go as one lot. Right hand...

We have a new customer who owns a windscreen replacement company, not on the uk mainland...... For a joke I asked if he could get me an 80 series windscreen as ours was delaminating in the bottom corners. He has bought a house that we look after (over the Internet without actually seeing it) and...

Ok, I have a James Baroud that's many years old now, still good but having to replace mesh in the windows etc. So, for next year, we have been looking at options. A Bundutec electric one or the iKamper x2. The Bundutec has a pokey little room that would house the porta loo, that's about it. The...

Hi everyone. We were hit by a massive hailstorm last week. It has managed to mash up the plastic/rubber moulding between door and window totally on the front 2 and a little on the rear 2. Anyone know where I can get a replacement set? Thankfully cant see any serious damage to paint etc. My...

My CT is due (French mot) on 24th of this month. They changed to a much stricter set of rules in May last year. So today we had a pre CT check. Basically a CT but cheaper and no ticket. Ok it failed. It failed on....wrong size tyres, side lights have blue/white led's not white ones. Brake...

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...

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 :)

Hi folks, jumped in truck today to find fuel on Empty - drove to the range and a shoot, filled up. Card limit stopped at 99.61€, so though sod it, put card in again and continued to fill it brim full. Thought I would be clever and stick the remainder of the cards limit in the aux fuel tank. So...

Been one of those weeks. Renovation works at home not finished so family ended up a cottage up the road. It's not stopped raining. Internet has been dropping out on and off all week. Its now dead, as is the region. Problems at Orange who say it will be back on by midday Monday! All villages are...

Hi guys, anyone got a fridge drop slide for sale - needs a tray of 715 x 455mm, alternatively, any ideas where to get one? Cheers Steve

Hi folks - took a flight to UK yesterday morning to pick up this beast....MEGA SAURUS Drove home via a curry in Portsmouth (thanks BIL) and overnight ferry to Caen and home for lunch :) As one would expect, nothing but a perfect drive home. Set the cruise control to 70 and sat there. I did have...

Thats it then Truck 'O' Saurus went away with his new owner today, off to live in the Alps, via Paris. got a good by UK standards price for it, but cheap for French Prices. (Dont forget it was R/H drive). Had a lot of fun with him and spent a fortune, but doesnt everyone? Pick up the new...

Hi folks - fancy getting a stainless exhaust for the old gal - can anyone enlighten me what size I should go for, if it was header down? 2.5" or 3" I dont want a teenagers VW loud sound, but a little rumbly would be nice :) Also, can anyone recomend a manufacture while you wait company, pref...

Hi everyone - just an update on our trailer - we now have 'posh' storage - instead of having to strap everything down with ratchet straps, we now have boxes within boxes :) Just have to fit the final bit over the pump and accumulator but electrics done (see top right 240v sockets, with...

Genuine Toyota at 150€ a side or these..... @165 each?????? the genuine ones have been on 17 years, and I am changing 'just in case' the greasable ones should be easier to look after..... What do you fellow 90 owners think?

I am currently upgrading the storage in my trailer and would like 8 wolf boxes.....but from front runner europe, the delivery alone is 70€! thats almost 3 boxes.......so, anyone have anything similar? I feel a trip to local (small) DIY store is in order to see what crap they have........

This is driving me nuts! I thought at first the motor had died, but I connected a seperate 12v supply to the motor connector and I can get it to go up and down, so motor is fine. I have swapped the switch itself with one of the rear switches, still doesnt work :(. I have pulled the wires that...

has stopped working, neither the main switch or the passenger switch make it go up or down :( I have taken the door card off to see if there is a dodgy connector that has come lose but alas, all looks good. When I tried the passenger switch whilst the card was off, I did hear a light 'clunk' as...

So, since fitting my extra rear lights, when connected to a trailer, my hazard warning lights flash once and stop - indicators all work fine, so I am guessing that the total of 12 indicators flashing at once is overloading the unit. Has anyone every changed theirs for a heavier duty unit? If so...
