Bought LHD LEDs - mot bloke said as long as I get some of those deflectors like we use in Europe it will pass!!.

Do you remember the soldier working on the Algerian border who was so impressed with the results of my eating habits and the fact that I could walk without shade or a hunched back or wobbly legs. Been cleared by CBSA and Transport Canada and the Visa application is in together with an EPA...

One from NOV 2014

As a little sweetener have a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QiuOa3E-bU - in Wales and mine is the red 110 as the other is still under repair.

Glad your not saying who it was Mike- blimey the chap in the pic looks younger than I remember if a little unshaven - but I wonder what you all remember most about the trip. Oh no not those photos - I'm currently trying Dropbox.

4% sand 96% gravel/rock/dust - but you always need to be ready to get through some deep sand.

Did wonder - thanks - didn't know how certain this had to be.

Found it too difficult to load photos - will open Facebook account and try that. Currently struggling to complete USA visa application - what address to put in when only camping/touring!!.

No I'm not getting older but death valley gets a bit hot. If the Salisbury goes belly up then it's near impossible to fix - and the post 2004 are not supposed to be that bad and the ground clearance is better - and it comes with an anti roll bar.

Just purchased a recon engine from Turners - also got a 2010 110 rear axle to replace the Salisbury one - and somehow am having air con fitted.

I want to change my 110 rear disc Salisbury axle for the later type - I know they are not as strong but in event of failure in a remote area the diff can more easily be replaced. As post 2004 defender axles are expensive and few and far between does anyone know if the P38 or Discovery axles will...

Thanks but have already looked there - a very useful site. Just an hour ago managed what seemed impossible - tourinsure.de say they can now do it.

Thanks Thor - thought you might be kidding but got a bit worried all the same. Still need some info' on car insurance if anyone has any.

Sorry Thor but do you know something you are not telling us!!. Have you had experience of not getting a car in.

Not a problem - see form HS-7. As well as first submitting form EPA 3520-1.

Yeah most of the issues are sorted - the only problem is the insurance - any vehicle can breakdown - perhaps newer more electronic ones more so - have a working 300 tdi 110 parked up in shed to use as spares to ship out if necessary.

Three months perhaps a bit more.

Yep if I can get insurance - by container to Halifax. Do not want to hire a vehicle out there.

AD say no unfortunately. Hope its not state by state. Karl-Heinz Nowag say they can do USA but not Canada for a car 20 years old. Thum Insurance will do both USA and Canada, but not on cars more than 20 years old.

Thanks for the advice SD!!. Will make an effort with the photos - especially as I took over 600 this time.
