The ferry I'm on doesn't get into Santandar until 5pm on the Sat, so were going to stay in a hotel Sat night and then travel down to the campsite on the Sunday. Personally I would have chosen to drive through the night and get to the site stupid early on the Sunday, but the wife really does not...

Yeah, we will go to Morocco on the Monday 21st and head straight to Marrakesh, good job it did not take out the hub as well Ken.

Paid for the ferry today, Portsmouth to Santandar return 18th March and going back on the Sunday 3rd., anyone else going out that day?

Took me 3 days to clear the dust/ sand and pebbles from inside the chassis and to then Tetraseal it using a big compressor and Shultz gun and lance, ruined my workshop floor, had to burn my clothes, had a petrol shower just to get that black ****e off me. The actual result is excellent though...

The maps listed below, are Olaf and some French version that I found randomly searching the net for free Garmin maps of Morocco, the routable one is quite good, the rest are really just overlays showing different terrain features which can be overlayed on to other maps, I haven't played with it...

Nobber can have the cowl, otherwise he will only cry. Ill give you a call tomorrow about picking the stuff up.

My chassis was painted with Rustoleum which I sprayed on the entire underside body and chassis with the compressor, I gave it a coat a week for 3 months to build it up with light coats, then spent two days with brake cleaner and an airline blow gun getting the Sahara dust and small pebbles out...

I used a stud extractor to remove the 4 studs, then when I was putting it back together I simply used bolts and chucked the stupid studs, why the retards at Land Rover did not use bolts I don't understand.

It's now for sale at £16,000.

There are still some decent Discovery 1's fairly rust free kicking about, with modifications for about £1500-2200, but expect to have to go through it, swivel seals, bearings, gaskets etc, and that will swallow £600 real quick. I think what will bugger up getting to Iceland is the ferry from...

So, I modified the tail gate using a Discovery wheel carrier, 3 strips of 5mm steel by 600mm long to brace the inside of the tailgate, so I no longer have to carry a spare up on the roof to Morocco any more. Thus making the roof rack pretty much no more than a mount for the light bar and CB, so...

Coming back from Lincs on Saturday, I pulled just over an indicated 100 mph on the flat in my 110, doesn't drive any worse at that speed than at 60. Was a arrow straight road though and I gave up because I can imagine all those internal components wizzing about The passenger who was in his...

I lost my insect repellent early on in the trip, luckily there was only a couple of places we stopped at where buzzy biters were an issue, naturally the repellent reappeared in the truck once I was home, same with my torches, MP3 cable etc etc.

That' motorway running south is nice and easy, just a few hours of dodging concealed police and random people picking weeds in the central reservation . The wife is not like me and likes to book things way ahead of time, if she books the flight now it's only £40..

If you pick her up Monday, that will work out great as my wifes flight leaves at 10.30AM on the Tuesday. What was the name of that hotel your booked into?

For those of you that haven't used Tanger Med port, I found this video, I thought Tanger Med port was really easy, like shown below

Ill take the supports, if only just for the fact I feel sorry for you, I'm in Suffolk near Newmarket, you can post them, or deliver, or I can collect at some point its up to you. Actually i have just seen your postcode SE18? is that right? I'll collect

Chris, what are the dates that your wife is getting to Marrakesh? Want to coordinate with my wife returning home from Marrakesh and book the flight, oh and whats the hotel called your staying at?

I've got some air horn fitted, the sand people don't seem to like them when they try to slow you down to beg for something, blast the horn and wave

My tensioners, belt, pulley, crank seal, and water pump arrived today, hmmm not really looking forward to that one. Water pump looks a bit fiddly to get to, oh well. I think the foam incident went unnoticed
