Yep, definitely intend to post a few pics of the journey, I hope there will be very little about the Land Rover though...

We've finished the camp conversion (well, the first iteration of it anyway), newly blacked out the rear windows and stopped 90% of the leaks. Just in time for the trip down to Greece starting Friday night straight after work. The plan is Luxembourg -> France, Germany, Lichtenstein, Switzerland...

We're currently turning our 110 csw into a camp car. We want to separate the front two seats from the, now seatless, rear. I've looked at a few dog guards and think they'll probably do the trick - a half height (top half) one would be all we'd need. Anyone any recommendations? Particularly...

Based on blue's advice I checked the diff lock and all is fine - light comes on when it's locked and goes off after switching it back off. Perhaps the best description of the noise is that it sounds like it's stalling, only from the back rather than the front... Which is, of course, rather...

Having managed 120 on the way to work this morning and taken a few roundabouts a little exuberantly I suspect it being stuck in diff lock would've caused a bit more of a pop-smash than a bump bump...

Finally got my 110 on the road - the father in law took it on as a bit of project now he's retired so did most of the hard work, I've just got to tart it up a bit now and fix little niggles, then prepare for stealth camping! There is one issue that feels fairly major to me though - whenever I...

I think the 0-60 gives a hint at those times, especially as the majority of truly modern cars pull all the way up to and over 100. Such short bands of acceleration would be over in a blink for many cars and are often not likely to be achieved due to the terror that dropping down 3 gears and...

I've made the verbal agreement, the 110 300tdi sw should be mine in a week (see pic). My first step is to drive it into my garage, take it apart and rebuild as a yellow van. So, just a little task... I'll put up a build thread too. Bit about me... I'm a software engineer, biker and...
