We're looking to store vehicle + one in Helsinki for anything between 2-8 weeks May-June this year. Not having much joy. If anyone knows/hears of anywhere/anyone or has contacts, please could they let me know. Many thanks & Happy New Year all !!!!!!!!!!!

For all important coffee, where/how to buy diesal (e.g. card only locations), hot dogs & hamburgers, more on routes plus road closure periods Good route for Scandanavia plus? Need your ideas and experience!!! - Land Rover UK Forums (Was reading about LRUK invasion thingy on anything goes section...

PS - another (old) link with route info and a couple of useful blogs Norway Stavanger to Nordkapp (top of Norway) - The HUBB

Had a look -they also do air-o-dry clothes dryer - about £40 on the market. Decided maybe no. Instead have been learning: Use protective wets and change out of them each night to change into them next day. Good warm, layered, dry clothing under. (ie. reckoning finally is to don't get clothes...

More bedtime reading - another useful link - this time re: cold weather camping/clothing/staying warm - might be useful Cold weather camping - The HUBB Was trying to find out how to dry wet clothes in cold weather/snow -anyone got any ideas? (apart from obvious - not getting clothes wet or...

Wow! Looks stunning! What a detour to have.

Very useful. Thanks Foss!

Last back issue I know is LRO May Issue No 5 2004 'Roof tents the Ultimate Guide'. Maybe a later version - not sure. Also an old LZ link re: tents with info - where back issue was requested previously there also and not rated that highly...

Have a look at Hubb link versus your map when you get the chance - a detailed recommended route has been included. Not sure if it follows the same path you are planning. Have been looking at books/maps online but we’ve got nothing yet – need to get ourselves to a good bookshop to get better...

Foss/all, Have been doing a little bit of research. Found this useful post on Hubb - very old but still relevant/interesting. Lots of stuff on routes, dirt tracks, road conditions, ferries which are all probably still relevant today. Appreciate the UK ferry gone. Otherwise much else should be...

Out of interest - before yours (or anyone's was nicked) - did you have dislok etc. fitted ? Immobilisers? Other tricks (don't need to be mentioned). Just wondered if it makes any difference e.g. get lifted and removed somehow anyway for e.g. parts if they can get it out of drive. We have ours...

Hi Ryder, Have just been looking at your site - product looks really good. Is Pebbles your own creation? Had a look at Rusty Rhino's report on it earlier this year also. Very impressive. Would be interesting to see a demo of it some time - or maybe we could swap demos so you can see Spot in the...

Yep - agreed. Another good reason for others considering buying/selling via these types of dealers to read the link attached to the post as several other possible alias' also mentioned - serves as good warning. Worth googling now and again to see if do arise again (and others like them!)...

Initial post rojbarker sent with link - link very good reading. Post dates back to about June time. Did a google for more info on Reids. Plenty of posts about it across loads of forums and firm now gone it seems.

Let us know if you get off the ground plus costs etc. We'd be interested in a couple (imagine - Landyzone taking over Land Rover as 'the' must have fashionista item/t-shirt to wear).

Bevhelee, Glad all going well. Will catch you guys hopefully when you are in the UK. PM us before you get here so we know when your coming. We leave April and plan to take a year (finance permitting) to reach OZ so will arrive a good bit after you All the best

Bevhelee, Glad to hear plans progressing well. Take it house finally sold and you are taking the dogs too? When do you plan on hitting Oz do you reckon from SA. Any idea of your timetable? Or are you chilling en-route and will get there when you get there?

Could have been - not sure but had thought it was a genuine LR part. I know the newest one we have had fitted ir LR part for sure. Will see what happens. Thanks

We have had two fuel pump issues quite close together on 1998 Defender 110 300 TDI (CSW) – causing power loss – (could still move but very slowly). First happened not long after purchasing vehicle at 500 miles. Apart from a couple of outings, spent long time on the drive with the 2nd occurring...

£50 for a bottle of whiskey!!!!!!!!!!! Cruel. As per Foss, thanks for the update Pikefly. Very useful info. Ryder - you could just take 5-year old? - no conditions?:). Reckon you must be doing something right with Kai - a real credit. Will get you to remind our kids how lucky they are when...
