With regards to driving in a French LEZ, what's that got to do with the price of Les onions? 🤔

Thanks. I'll look into the "Vehicule de Collection". Not sure what it has to do with the French LEZs though. From your link... Do I need a Crit’Air vignette? All eligible vehicles need to display a Crit’Air vignette on their windscreen to be able to drive and park in restricted traffic zones...

Have you thought about using a roof tent? You could still put the kitchen 'downstairs' and have more living room 'upstairs'.

They have a badge to display for hybrids but i think the different badges are on a sliding scale of whether you are allowed in. As in a 'quite clean' badge might get you into a 'fairly low emission' zone but not a very clean one. The penalty is a double edge sword. If you aren't displaying a...

They do accept certificates from Gaydon as being 100% genuine and correct. I'm sure if i used it they'd change the build date to suit. The only down side being that they'd issue an age related number but that would then be non transferable which i don't want as about three years ago i bought a...

I think it doesn't matter to the French what you put on your V5. They base what catagory your emissions are by what it was when you left the factory. If it's a 101 ambulance it's simply too old to drive into their LEZ zones. Bloody ageist if you ask me!!! I know if you fit a different engine to...

Your V5 states what your emissions are. The French can check it online or from the manufacturer's records, i don't know which so basically you can't BS them. From what i gather, technically, you can't change your emissions 'class' by changing to a later engine. It's a case of whatever your V5...

No i don't. I think your predictive text might have kicked in...

OK peeps. Thanks for your thoughts. It seems it's a non starter. The idea behind it was to be able to drive in French LEZs. Unlike over here, if you have a 40 year plus vehicle you are LEZ exempt, in France, you can't drive in their LEZ unless you have a special badge which states what your...

I know the PTO on the back of the transfer box can be used to power various things, could it be used in reverse and if i bolted an electric motor onto it could that be used to propel the vehicle using batteries?

I have a 2.5d out of an LDV van in my Series 2. I discovered it was an engine that really promoted not using your brakes unless absolutely necessary!

So just badly made foreign shoes 6mm above spec... It's a pity as normally getting a little bit extra for free is a good thing 😁

Are LWB shoes 6mm wider?

What better birthday present than i nice family day out! Plus... Fresh air, nice scenery, good food in the cafe and mooching through Landy parts to boot! :cool:

It was good. It'll be better once they have finished erecting the new building. It's taking up a lot of space that used to hold outside vendors who are at the moment outside of the gate in the car park. You don't need to wait until next February to attend a spares day though. There are several...

It's a 101 ambulance. At the moment undrivable due to the brakes. Thinking about it, i've 'driven' it around the block a couple of times and it's gone up by 3 Mile-ometers, so it's probably recording kilometers. Which will be cool as it will have gone less far🤔 than i thought. If it is, what do...

I reckon my speedometer reads in KMP, not MPH as the 100 is on the outside(big numbers) and the 60 is on the inside(small numbers) So, assuming i have a 'foreign' spec speedo, are those 33822 units miles or kilometers? I do apologise for the state of the speedo but i haven't got around to...

I wouldn't have thought it's ex military life would be an issue. If it had tracks and a turret i could understand, but a Land Rover? I would have thought not. If you can find the military registration number on a plate or sticker, then you can use it to search for it's recorded military history...

I bet if you dropped off the kids at school when you went to pick them up you'd have double the number of kids climbing into the back :cool: That was the case years ago when i gave a lift up to the local shops to the twelve or thirteen year old daughter of a mate. I was in my Series 2 (as...
