Hi, anybody got any experience of stealth camping in this area? Any good?
Cheers

When replacing the fuel leak off return I would advise cutting the pipe off the fuel thermostat housing.
I tried to pull mine of it this morning and snapped the plastic spigot off.
Ouch!

Fancied a few days away.
Shot up the M6, A74(M) etc to Gourock and crossed The Clyde (£20, like everything else it's gone up in price) to Dunoon, spent the night at Jubilee Point on Loch Eck.
Next day drove to Inveraray, on through Glen Orchy, over Rannoch Moor, Glencoe, Ft William, north and north again. Over the Mam Ratagan to Glenelg, spent the evening on the beach at Sandaig before back tracking to spend the night on the Mam Ratagan.
Next day hit the road to Kyle of Lochalsh, Plockton, Stromeferry etc, turned left on to the NC500 went over the Applecross Pass to Torridon, had a sleep in the woods before heading towards Inverness and south to Ft William, stayed outside of Glencoe with a few other camper vans.
Weather was crap so headed home.
The fuel injector return pipe was leaking and only getting worse, need to buy a quality replacement and not another cheap one.
Good trip, weather crap.
The van is a legend 211,000 miles on it.

Hi everybody.
I'm falling out of love with my van.
Its had a new battery and alternator about two years ago.
It keeps losing charge, there must be a parasitic drain or something.
I'm going to charge the battery and leave it disconnected, measuring the voltage over a few days to see how it stands up.
I'm going to disconnect the radio and connect the battery and see if the battery drops over time.
Failing that I'll have to do the old connecting an ammeter and removing fuses investigation.
Loved it when she was working properly...

She's getting a bit sluggish to start, and I'm fairly sure that the last time I plugged her in it gave a glow plug code.

How easy is it to replace the glow plugs on this engine?
I've had a look and the access isnt great it seems.
I'm worried about anything going wrong.

Any thoughts??
