Parts wish list

Depends if they open the package, the badge would probably be too small to engage their interest but the mirror might suddenly become extremely expensive.

Since when was 1,000km "a few hours drive"

Since I did the jaunt over here

ask me again after the weekend and i might give you a different answer though

[mjb]

a mere 1000km according to google maps

Since when was 1,000km "a few hours drive"

600 miles? That's only a few hours (at least it is with me and my V6 )... but it's 1000 miles not km so that'll be a good half day. You wouldn't even need to refuel a diesel...

Dont know what map your using Mat but its a tad over 1000km, 1072 according to my sources

I'm a spanner. Missed the whole "to .pl, not .uk" bit...

and no nasty ferries coming over this way either

[steve_earwig]

I've not driven anything like that since I came here 6 years back (and nothing like it before that either, come to think of it). There were three of us taking it in turns and having a squint round at the same time, took us 4 days I think (In a clapped-out overloaded Transit not capable than more the 60mph down hill )

I was thinking about the ferries, it's all across land which must be better than being robbed blind for a tiny voyage across a minuscule ditch

[plod]

Most i've ever done, is drive from hinckley in leicestershire, up to whitley bay, down to houghton le spring, then hartlepool, goldthorpe in yorkshire, back to hinckley, reload up and drive an LDV400 to Heidenheim in Germany, and back to Hinckley
Took me about 50 hours including ferries, and think it was 1950miles in total - absolute killer - couldn't do it now, i'm a bit older

The ferry isnt bad if you put a bit of time into looking about, I have settled on Norfolk line again this time, Dunkerque - Dover 2 hour crossing and its about 22 quid each way, so not that bad at all, when we first came over a month or so ago I booked a bit more in advance and got the crossing for £11 plus taxes coming out at 17 quid, really cant grumble at that

This trip will be a killer as ive lost my co-driver due to that sodding volcanoe, but 2800 miles there abouts, all to be done in 96 hours including a 36 hour rest in the uk for friends, sleep, bacon oh and the bits im going for too. As for being older im no spring chicken myself, gonna have to the painkillers, indigestion tablets, inhaler, and various other pills and potions with me to even think about sitting in the car for that length of time

Wish me luck it will be a right trek single crewed

Sorry for hijacking your thread Bluey

Wow! I thought 800 miles/day was hefty, but that's.... impressive

[Blue406]

Right... back on topic you 'orrible lot!
Parts wish list.... front and centre!

[plod]

I suggest you edit your first post and put a list of all parts required by people on it

I'll start
sunblind clips - the ones that slide in from the side
wheel arch access panel

[Blue406]

Done

What wheel arch? Front, Rear, Off Side or Near Side?

[plod]

Think the panel is the same regardless.
But for arguments sake it's the drivers front.
It's rectangular and probably 6" long and made of same plastic as the wheel arch liner
