Hello Ned, Thanks for the tea and biscuits offer we'd like that. Re the German cemetery, the invasion of Crete in '41 is the reason we visit the island. My Father was on the island when the Germans invaded. He was lucky enough to escape from Sfakia. Mike Hotel, where we stay is the HQ for the...

Morning Ned, Maleme is about 15 miles West from Chania city on the coast road. Eric

Morning Henry, thanks for taking the time to reply. I had checked myself regarding the MoT and SORN situation. I suppose I was vaguely hoping for a reply saying; 'I own it and live just down the road'. I don't really want it back, but I rebuilt it from an insurance write off from a breakers in...

Afternoon Ned, It's about 2,000 miles from the shuttle to Piraeus so you've got to to do a fair few miles in the time you've got. I will leave it to you to decide, I guess it is doable but you've got the Serbian and Macedonian borders to cross (non EU) and there have been quite long queues there...

Hi Ned, We go through Serbia and Macedonia (don't call it Macedonia in Greece) instead of Croatia. No real problems we've done the trip twice now with no real issues. Don't forget to get to get vignettes for the Austrian and Hungarian motorway networks otherwise you'll get stung with a fine. I...

Just signed up, and posted a query but I realise it's a bit rude not to introduce myself! I've had three Land-rovers over the years starting with a 110 in 1983 (A142 MKR where are you now?) and over the last 10 years two Discos a series 1 and currently a Disco 2. Both were bought with about...

Afternoon all, Bit of a cheek I suppose first post and it's a query. I'm in the process of changing the drop link on the rear anti roll bar (near side). Old link removed, disco up on axle stands under the chassis, started to jack up the axle to fit the link but with the upper thread of the link...
