    stanage edge

    nowhere to go really, its pretty level. There is a twitchy rock step up on Happy Valley though which is a bit ****tier. hope you drove down it. There is a voluntry TRO in place to help prevent further erosion. G

    servo or vacume pump ???????

    can you hear a ticking from the pump? Vac pump go often on 300s. my indi has sold 22 in 1 year compared with 2 for a 200tdi. I would replace the vac and keep yours as a spare if it is no better. I think the servo is a unit replacement. G

    Brake Light Fuse

    I would go with bulb holders 1st, they caused me a load of hassle. Easy to cheap, easy fix and cheap to replace. G

    Improving shocks and springs

    how old are the ones on there? what miles have they covered? do you carry any weight or is your 90 pretty stock? Cant really go wrong with standard height springs and armstrong shocks. G

    Things I need - any recommendations?

    The tent should be ok on the 2 bars. which thule ones are they? the longer ones are usually 3mm thick. 2 of these will do unless you and the missus are big :o :scratching_chin: :argue: CB - I have never used one, I prefer to use 2 way radios and stop to chat than continual chatter over a CB...

    Things I need - any recommendations?

    true, but better weather protection for the UK (think longer term than just Morocco). Also consider a better RTT as an investment. unless it falls off on the M4 it will retain the money you shelled out on it and probably more. I bought my old RTT for £300 on Ebay, sold it 2 years later for £450...

    UK expeditions?? Are they worht it? Or close alternatives??

    That may not always be the case. 12 months later some of those lanes may have a TRO in place. Worth checking trailwise for pointers and take another vehicle if you are unsure about 'obstacles'. G

    What makes the Disco II such a popular overlander?

    Mac Mackenney swapped out the air system for coils. I imagine they chose the TD5 so they could tune it, with TD5alive did for them as it was a record attempt. What you read in the comics is not really whats happening on the ground. There are probably 50 times that amount of people from the EU...

    Safety in Africa

    Well your all ready in the best place to find out. If you can get to Sudan then down, it should be ok. There are plenty of people out there still travelling these routes, just remember one person's 'safe' is another mans warzone. Get a few opinions 1st before making a direct decision, always...

    What makes the Disco II such a popular overlander?

    I wouldn't say so many people using Disco II. There are a few, granted. but where have they been? everyone is going for that Exped look, few have left the confines of the Eu. I wouldn't worry about everyone else or what people say about your RRC. If you like it, use it.Just get out there! G

    Trailer lights cutting out landy rear side lights.

    Just remembered, the rear brake/side bulbs are LED would this make a difference? I remember reading somewhere someone was having issues with LED lights (resistors etc) when connected up. any thoughts.

    Trailer lights cutting out landy rear side lights.

    Cool, might be worth a shot with a tester then. There is a cut wire where the convoy light was, might take another look at that. G
