    Roof tent

    Update on the tent. The better half and me went for a night away and it was the dogs bollocks. Standard roof bars held up with the 2 of us snug inside.

    And the tent is on and up

    They are expensive but I was lucky cos I cashed in some free shares I was given so it didn't cost me anything. But the added bonus is you get to look down on the 'poor' campers:):):):):)

    And the tent is on and up

    Takes about 30 minutes to lift and bolt onto the roof bars. Then remove the protective cover, grab the ladders and pull. Hey presto the tent is up.

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Spotlights

    Scotland North Coast 500

    Anti clockwise is best. As for petrol there are plenty and most now are 24 hours pay by card jobby. Driving from the Cotswold to Inverness is a hell of a trek. We stopped of at the North Kessock hotel as we drove from Selby. Smallish rooms but comfy beds ad the food was super. If you need...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Just bought one

    I've bought a 2012, 2.2 diesel with manual 6 speed box with the colour being indus silver. Impressed with the automatic lights and wipers but i fear I may have bought one with a duff sat nav as it took me to my destination the way I normally go! Is it faulty? lol

    Disco 2 Chassis

    Just found out that I have the rust gremlins on my chassis. The cost of putting on a galvanised chassis on doesn't seem to make financial sense on a 15 year old vehicle. Does anyone know of someone that makes bog standard steel ones which maybe cheaper? TIA
