Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Wow, what a cool post. Do you blog to a web address I can go to, you know, to live vicariously?!

Welcome aboard! My wife drives a silver 2001 Freelander, and loves it.

Everything can be repaired. Welcome aboard!

Today I vandalized my trusty old surf wagon... :)

In my experience, when this happens it is almost always the compressor shutting off, and the reason for that is often low refrigerant levels. But it could also be sensing excessive pressures or excessive heat and shutting itself off, too. Is the cooling system working correctly? If the...

No, I think it was my fault. The address is correct, but it doesn't seem to work with the "www" on the front. When I type just marocchallenge.es it opens fine.

Definitely a lot of Spaniards entered every year, and definitely a lot of Italians. There are five or six English teams entered in December, and the organizers at least are all fluent in English. If you are entered as an English-speaking team, the organizers provide you with dedicated English...

I posted a link to the event website in my original post, but when you Google "Maroc Challenge" it should also be the first result to come up. Go to that web page, and at the top right, there is a pulldown for language options. English, French, Portuguese or Italian.

Awesome truck off road. I love Discos... Welcome aboard!

Nice looking Defender! Welcome aboard!

Incredible photos, thanks for sharing!

What fun is that?! Hahaha! Just kidding, congratulations! I have a four-door too, and actually really like the lines of the 4-door. It's a handsome little truck. Welcome, and enjoy it!

Don't use the Google custom search. Just below that and a little to the left (on my screen, anyway) is a pull down labeled "search". Use that.

Ah, okay. But it isn't critical. Any grille and headlight buckets from any RRC, 1986 or earlier, will work. I am looking for the early-style aluminum grille with the vertical slats.

The blower issue sounds like the blower resistor has gone bad. Welcome!

Welcome, and great looking truck!

I have one of those as a runaround too. With the exception of the Ford stuff (crappy power window regulators and things like that) it has been bulletproof and extremely efficient. Enjoy it and welcome!

I have no relationship with this event, but I'm entered in the December running and it seems like something others might be interested in. Sort of a fantasy camp for those of us who have always wanted to run the Dakar. Hahaha! I met with the organizers a few weeks ago, and they are very...
