forgive my ignorance: but which fan controls the cab/windscreen heater. Am thinking of an electric fan for the coming winter on the uderstanding my 300TDi will warm up quicker and an electric fan will put more hot air into the cab than the viscous. Or am I way off?

Were the gates locked? If they were legal rights of way as listed on the national park website that would surely be illegal?

Yeah I have to remove the driver's side head rest but I wanted it to do it this way so I can have a couple of full height lockers at the rear and the stove on the back door.

ducking stool? well a google then wikepida search has elightend me. Think I'll go for a deck chair on the bonnet.

Here's the first step of my stealth camper project. The bed is supported by the dash, a DIY cubby box , the bulkhead and the sills between the body and hardtop. All folds out of the way so can still be used as a van. Next some blinds.

How did you get on nuggets?
