My pictures keep disappearing!!
Hmm .. not sure why that would be. I can see there's only the one in your folder now. Let me know if this keeps happening.
And welcome! ... Your van looks brilliant!

Hasn't entered my head. It's impossible to have much of a clue as to what the transition to whatever the new "normality" might look like.
I hope you didn't feel I was making light of the situation OAT - I'm lucky to be where I am but I'm far from immune to what's going on on both a personal level and with respect to those around me.
Like you, I have reservations about the way the government is approaching it and I don't for a moment think we'll all just be given a green light and told to go about our business anytime soon.
I just miss my trips away and look forward to doing it again.
Hope you stay safe and get more of what you enjoy - under better circumstances.

White Christmas.
Aye to be fair just a night down the pub would be good right now!

Apologies to those waiting for stickers! Finally got round to filling envelopes today - should get them posted today or tomorrow so everyone should have them this week.
If you're still waiting after then - or anyone else who'd like a sticker:

Hey folks,
I hope everyone's doing OK and staying safe & well.
Don't know about you but I keep finding myself thinking of getting on the move again.
Just wondered where you're all dreaming of!
I posted this plan in another thread at the tail end of last summer but haven't had a chance to put it into action yet - so this where I see myself heading when appropriate:
- Galloway to Ardrossan
- Ardrossan --> ferry to Brodick, Arran
- Tour Arran [night in Lamlash]
- Lochranza --> ferry to Claonaig on Kintyre
- Up through Kintyre [night in Tarbert or Tayvallich]
- Round Loch Fyne and down Cowal Peninsula
- Colintraive --> ferry to Rhubodach, Bute
- Tour Bute [night in Rothesay]
- Rothesay --> ferry to Wemyss Bay & home to Galloway
Subject to change 
Nothing too crazy but packs a good amount into three nights I reckon
#33 Re: General Discussion » Getting the jack out » 2020-04-14 09:17:43
I never knew it sat under the seat.
This is all news to me too! 7 years down the line!
Mine has always sat in the metal basket under the passenger seats.

Hey Martin,
OBD2 adapters fit my 2006 20.HDi fine - my cheapo one looks like this:
Not sure if the 1.9D is different but assumed it was a standard thing tbh.

Good news - one less thing to worry about!
#36 Re: General Discussion » A form of isolation » 2020-03-20 21:34:04
I'm lucky to live pretty much in the middle of nowhere in the hills - but I'm still planning to escape into the Galloway Forest Park or elsewhere now and then in the van.
I'd avoid long trips but as long as there is no fuel shortage I don't see that isolating in the van is in any way worse than isolating at home.
If anything it is a gift of variety that many would be thankful for.
#37 Re: Maintenance » CAMBELT CHANGE » 2020-03-16 15:13:13
Bent valves and head re-skimmed isn’t cheap
Yep that's where I ended up - and of course the engines need to come out of these vans [at least the HDI does] - think I paid just over £700 for the work which I reckon was pretty decent - but I was without the van for three months!
#38 Re: Maintenance » CAMBELT CHANGE » 2020-03-13 15:41:26
This is a subject that is beginning to come back into focus for me.
Given that my last cambelt change was brought about by the previous one exploding taking various parts of my engine with it - and the fact that that was now 60k miles ago - I think I need to seriously start thinking about it again.
£300 to me sounds like money well spent for the peace of mind.

#42 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-18 19:21:26
Yep - that looks like my HDI
#43 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-18 18:22:41
2.0 JTD is the same engine as the 2.0 HDI - as Kenbw2 said, think they're already Bosch [mine is] but less suited to SVO
#44 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-17 16:59:25
My own van is a 98 TD
Oops sorry OAT - forgot yours was a TD too!
#45 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-17 16:51:05
Also - welcome!
#46 Re: General Discussion » Virgin post-oil rev-solution » 2020-02-17 16:49:07
I think Kenbw2 is the only 1.9td user I can think of .. no doubt he'll be along shortly!
Moving this into the 1996 - 2006 Vans forum as I think it belongs there .. and Ken more likely to see it there I guess!
#47 Re: Camper Conversions » My van is to small » 2020-02-17 16:45:19
Decided my Convoy camper was to small so bought a coachsmith version
Holy shit! Monsta!
What's needing done?
#48 Re: Camper Conversions » Anyone out in the weather? » 2020-02-17 16:43:46
Strange thing is I can make myself more comfy in the van than at home. Mind you...the opiates help.
(Legal and not of course while driving)
Still riding out this back injury - had a night in the van on Friday there and was definitely more comfortable than my bed in the house. Time for a new bed I think!
#49 Re: General Discussion » Wind noice from front side windows, new rubber seals? » 2020-02-14 00:30:08
I have A lot of wind noice from my side windows
Are you sure it's the windows and not the side sliding doors?
I find that the best strategy is to wind your window down a bit so that it makes so much noise that it drowns out the sliding door noise.
