ebbadger, how you get the bolts inside the door. Mine seem closed in in that location. Thanks

ERA block lock. Google them. 5 Keyed alike and all five doors covered. These do look nice though ! Posted a pic a while ago and now i get an email from a member with zero posts asking where to drill. Being very suspicious i've not answered. Maybe said person might introduce himself first in forum.

i'm sleeping inside mine.......

No you still have to stump 800% or some bond payable to the customs. Easier with a carnet if you can afford it. The Ferry is cancelled. End of. No refit, no suspension. Plain cancelled. I've asked them about 6 times now along with Emails from me and a couple of others doing the same trip. Its...

I used a fuse on my last trip, 500ml of EP and half a grease cart. I used all my nerves on the Cirque Jaffa though.

You don't go to Tangiers now. Just go to Tangiers MED and wiz off down the toll road. I say wiz off meaning drive as fast as a 206000mile 17 year old defender will...... about 55-60mph and get a 28mpg run easily with fuel at less than 60p per litre.

spares...what spares? I only have 60kg of spares....hardly noticeable. LMAO.

So you are going down into Western Sahara? If we go west side we're continuing onwards so will be going that way also. We are still planning for October as i said but things are slipping. I still have furniture to sell !

So the main point of the door locks (as with any security) is to slow them down. Getting a peddle cover off, or cluch claw without an open door is a real pain even with a key to unlock it. I've decided not to post the rest of the measures in place.....could you break the windows, doubt it. :p

Try block locks on all the doors. Means drilling but its better than getting it nicked.

At the moment Oct Nov Dec Jan sounds good if you want to tag along (or us tagging along with others). Plans are currently this side (west) but we are also toying with South America. Considering we are off permanently we're running out of time so we might very well slip into Nov or Dec or later...

We might be on our way south sometime around october but this may also slip. We are not coming back mind but would do the trip south to Morocco. Been before so i know the score. Keep me updated on plans. If they'd not cancelled the Ferry to Egypt we'd be going he other way.

Bit early for me. If this gets pushed back let me know. October ?

@Cassie. Super Blog and site. Were in the early stages of what you're doing. Love to see some pictures of the LR. OK...i can't wait to see some. Pull your finger out!...:D

I'll ask first as if you already know about this stuff it get annoying. I've just spent about 200 manhours doing ground work before my purchase. I'm nearly ready to buy but have you got enough info on all the following? Especially carnets as if you buy a vehicle thats too expensive you may not...
