Just completed the first of the test trips with my ex mod 2.5 n/a to ypres in Belgium(via Calais) from Bournemouth. i did have all leaking stuff resealed, full service and a general look round for faulty stuff(universal joint replaced).
She did not miss a single beat, was very economical and as she is is still in full military colours(and its near D day anniversary) the french loved her. And the police didn't pointlessly pull a brit over either. The cab was getting a little warm but open flaps are nearly as good as air con, and dont cost anything to operate.
Will have to check my gearbox oil cooler as sometimes these get turned off to warm up the cab in winter. As for the french and Belgium roads, absolutely brilliant...makes ours look like c class roads.
