I was quoted £800 each way to ship the car there and back. We paid £1,000 for the ferry, which is overnight each way, Portsmouth - Bilbao outbound and Santander - Portsmouth coming back. So works out £250 each, each way - which isn't bad. To be honest, I didn't see the point of sticking...

Thanks Muddy fox. Have actually bought a Thule roof rack with two locking bars, so will either use 3 or 4 Thule bars alone (with two of them being lockings ones) or the roof rack itself if the tent fits in it, again with the bars underneath. Will post some pics once I've got it all set up! :)

That's quite a "loose" first post to be fair, really depends where you want to go! Last year I was in a similar situation myself, have decided to go to Morocco as it's 'different' enough to Europe but close enough to get there and back in 3 weeks whilst spending a decent amount of time there...

Don't, get a good one, not a cheap one! You don't want to be stranded again, do you?

What do you do Dopey??

Whereabouts were you? What didn't you like? To be fair I'm off up through the Atlas mountains and then across the Sahara, only a couple of nights in Marrakech and then home. Three weeks door-to-door, mind! Can't wait :)

Diasconnect the battery, wander off for 10 minutes for a cup of tea and let the SRS system discharge, then safe to remove. Disco 1 (300 series) and Disco II's had airbags so should be a straight swap. Personally I'd probably get the wheel recovered, perhaps in a colour-matched leather to the...

It's certainly a consideration! But for the most part, it's for Morocco in August ;)

Don't fit the dash panel, she clearly doesn't like it.

This is exactly what I thought and what my reality is! I thought the rotary coupler had failed (cruise control also not working), turns out the rotary coupler was fine and it was a faulty resistor somewhere. Unfortunately the resistors were not located consistently (e.g. "within 500mm of...

The softdash steering wheel is identical to the Disco 1 (300 series) I believe, just without the cruise control buttons (on the dash on the Disco) but these could be transferred over I'm sure!

Think you were lucky - my soft dash has the Harmon Kardon stereo with Clarion headunit, each speaker and the sub is individually amp'd with no ISO connectors - so a new headunit would require rewiring the car!! Fortunately Clarion serviced my original h/u and wired in an iPod lead too, so all...

Haha, true! I do live in Bucks in fairness, but driving up to the Midlands to collect a roof tent tomorrow night, got loads to do Saturday morning so will be leaving there around 2/2.30pm. Drop the missus off, collect Carl and his Disco and onto the pub - fun fun!

No idea but I imagine a Disco 1 and Disco 2 wheel would, as they are essentially the same dash! Does your soft dash have the uprated stereo? As if so, any additional wiring attempts tend to be a complete ballache :)

I reckon i'll be eating there, will have driven down from the Midlands with a rooftent on top so will be starving by the time I get there!

Flight to Marrakech I imagine, but I'm driving to Portsmouth, sailing to Santander and then driving the length of Spain from there :)

Sell both and get the L322?

No pocket/tray in a Classic, and no threads for a soft dash Classic that I can see either!

Haha, very true!! Good idea on the table.

Cool, any pics?
