Sounds good, will find it on openstreetmap on the GPS in the morning, I have a rough idea now after looking at via michelin. thanks again!

Thanks for that :) Lake Bled done. Up in Plitvice NP now and looking to head back to the coast tomorrow. Looking at the Mali Alan pass now but I think it will be closed off due to snow. its 4ft deep up here in the mountains :( May look at the D50 from Gospic to Gracac though. cheers for...

So there has been a bit of a gap between the respray and leaving on our overland trip! Respray got done, everything got refitted. We welded some brackets for the Hannibal awning to go on the rack. Repainted the mud-shields and rear crossmember and fitted new door seals. I finally got around...

A few weeks back we reached Nordkapp driving through Norway, Finland and Sweden. Some of you will be following on Facebook but I thought it was worth posting up in here for reference. Norway – To Nordkapp & the Northern Lights | Sirocco Overland | ??????? ???????? We also went Dog...

solar showers are pants. They just dont warm up unless you leave it standing all day. No good when your moving lots and when you do stop you are usually near some good facilities! Streams and rivers are good in warmer climates. If your still in Europe then service stations are a good call...

I managed to pick up a set of Mantec Loading sides with upper shelf (I will see if I can find a photo) The boxes are great as they stack so just bolt in a number of lashing points (I have 3 down the centre) then I just stack and use a ratchet strap to hold them down. Done the same in the...

The picking boxes are made out of the right material but yes, no good for stuff really. I would imagine Solent Plastics do fully closed versions. Anywho, Plastor also do a great range: Grey Range With Lids | Plastic Containers, Plastic Crates, Plastic Boxes & Storage Equipment Supplier I have...

spring gauge is about £1.50 on ebay. when you check it do it a dozen or so times to get an average as its hard to see exactly what's going on. Don't forget the top pin bolts need to be a specific torque too. Have you taken the slack out of your steering box? I did mine recently and its made a...

You might not even have a leak, you may be just loosing it through the filler cap when the temp/pressure is above normal. You don't say how much you are loosing/filling up. Are we talking 100ml or 1 litre? when did you last flush it out and change the coolant? check the thermostat while you...

TD5 90 is the only one that will fit. see my sticky post in the expedition section for more info http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f15/fitting-td5-auxiliary-fuel-tank-into-tdi-90-a-82966.html G

Updated post now Redhand, thanks. :) Also added a lot of bits. Rack now on Ebay, decided to 'try' and post it :D G

My advice would be to leave the caravan at home. To see the Aurora you generally need to be quite far north and March is near the end so likely be hit and miss. The other thing to note is that there could well be snow/ice at the Arctic Circle, best check that out as it could well change your...

Doh! would rather not post it, and I am no longer in Bristol :( only Swansea Sorry, not much help I know. G

WOW - I am doing this job right now too! (haha, 1 year later to the day/time) Anyway, I know how all that works and its only a tractor so not that precise BUT I cannot undo the freaking locknut! Got a long extension on it and with normal ratchet it wont move. Fear of the 2ft breaker bar has...

I did some costings on the ferry vs. drive and the ferry worked out £100 more (return). We took the ferry in the end as I wanted to be fresh back into work the following day having not steamed back to the UK from the south of Morocco! HOWEVER I found the ferry extremely boring and we spent a...
