    Is my 3.0 litre engine "representative of the marque"?

    I have never been that bothered by mine but I think it's suffering the exact same problem as yours. I took a video this morning although the light is rubbish the smoke is fairly clear. I have no idea how to post the vid though :/ doh!!

    The tool kit is now in the vehicle Bump :) I also have a selection of jubilee clips J. She run sweet on the way home, no issue what so ever. I need to get a new oil temp sensor as this is weeping slightly but other than that she’s all good. I’m doing Lands End to John o’Groats at the weekend...

    Morning Guys, Agree with all of you, I have a friend who has been round Morocco and most of Africa in his 1987 2.5NA Diesel 110 kitted with a bed in the back, fridge, twin batteries, two spare wheels and a few spares. Other than that it was a completely standard and a very slow 2k 110...

    Morning Guys, It was good to meet some of you at the AO show. Thought I would let you all know that myself and Chris (my other mate in the 300tdi 90 not on the forum) are no longer coming along on the trip. Chris has had some unfortunate circumstances at home and is now unable to come...

    Bump, thinking about it 700 isn’t bad for the lot. I paid around 1200 quid for all of mine. it was back when the D4 first came out (well 2010) so I guess maybe things where more expensive then but 700 seems reasonable. I had the whole set up on mine, steering, tank,trans and wishbone covers.
  14. Glenn321

    I'm doing Morocco in September / October :)

    I would say 750 is pretty cheap considering the trip is 650 + ferry etc. think of the cost of getting a recovered motor home + missing the trip should it happen on our first day!! In short my answer is yes :) I just got rid of a full kit for my D4 its still at mine though, would that fit?

    Guys, I remember one of you mentioned Jerry cans at the pub meet, who can get hold of them? Do you reckon its worth waiting until Billing to get me roof tent? I know which one I'm after now (Howling Moon) so just want to make sure I get it for a decent price. Cheers, Glenn

    Haha I wasn't to bad, already pre warned her I would be home late. Chris on the other hand was supposed to pick his gf up about 9.30 :p. We hammed it back to mine then he had the drive back to Herts so I'm guessing he didnt arrive until 11.30 lol

    I have some added security in the form of a 2.5ft breaker bar and some cling film ;). Spanish gangs are the last of my worry haha. Was good to see you all yesterday, didnt realise it was so late!! My friend was getting some abuse from his other half as soon as we got in the car park and got...

    the weight of it would kill the bonnet, I may put one on a spare wheel mount on the back but tbh I'm not too worried about the weight on the roof.
