The voluntary work I do is similar to 4x4 Response, but with an independent organisation which I'm the chairman of. Part of that work takes me on green lanes which as others have pointed out you need insurance for anyway. My current insurers seem to understand how the 2 can work together......

Tried for a quote here today - They didn't want to quote for me. - 80 series cruiser with mods and Voluntary work cover. think I'll be staying with my existing insurer

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to pull out of this trip...... Hope you all have a good trip

And what about the cultural side of things? The only reason I ask is that if it's mainly driving tracks etc, then it's not going to be much fun for my wife -

Quick question - are we going to just do as much off roading as possible en route to Romania and whilst we're there? Or are we going to be visiting towns and other tourist attractions?

Thanks Chas

Yes, I'm home - I'll get it written up and try work out how to post photos

Interested in this - Can you put us down as maybe please

Been going to Kefalonia at least once a year since 1994 - I know it like home

I've done the Mont Blanc tunnel before and I know what you mean, it's expensive and boring. Just a way to get you from A to B. camping in the roof tent both ways, but with 2 weeks in a villa in the middle of it all

I'm setting off on Friday to Greece. Route : down through France, turn left to go through the Mont Blanc Tunnel, across through the Val D'Aosta and keep going to Venice for a look round. Then south to Bari in Italy and take the ferry to Patras in Greece, short drive down the coast to Kyllini and...

Got to be worth a look

Has anyone decided what is happening with this yet?

First of all, I'm happy to pay - I've certainly had my money's worth since March 2010. Secondly, Crispin seems to be doing a good job of keeping this forum going - So I've no concerns about him continuing to do so. Thirdly, a question - Who else is running the group/community or whatever it's...

And later the same day that I posted the above I had a heart attack, so I'm not going now. i'm hoping I'm well enough for my wife to drive me to the UK version........

We're going

Thanks

Thanks Dave..... Just out of interest, what's the other one for

I'm in W Yorks near J40 M1

Are those relays just standard relays or special Toyota ones?

When I was out playing in the snow the other night both my high beam lights suddenly stopped working. Dip beam still works. I've checked the fuses and they seem ok. There doesn't appear to bea live feed to the main beam. When I try switching the main beam on the dip beam goes out. Is there...

Having to pull out of the trip at the last minute due to immediate family I'll health. dissapointed, but I think it's the right thing to do at this time... It can all be re-booked for a later trip

Has anyone on this forum actually fitted Pedders springs and shocks? If so, what's the verdict? ......

Good to hear about makes I've not heard of before. what I was really asking was what style of footwear, not which make. trainers? flip flops? ankle boots? high leg boots? desert boots? Etc etc?

Looked at Keen and Rocky websites - lots to choose from - which style?

From those of you who have been on overland trips to Morocco, Tunisia or further down Africa, what's peoples thoughts on the best footwear? Something comfortable for driving, but rugged enough for rocky terain and not too heavy for desert conditions etc? So whats the best allrounder? Trainers...

Is it possible to fit the barn doors to a UK spec 80?

Pictures copied (hopefully) from their first campsite in France http://www.fermevertuelle.com/journal.html#

According to RGS website - it's been cancelled

OK - I'll look for a yellow with white stripe wire

Thanks - I'll try putting the trigger wire to the posative on the main battery like Gary did and see what happens.

Looks like it maybe better/easier to get one of the cyrix ones I've heard about on here. Is the 120a one OK, or do I need the 400a one......Bit expensive though.

This http://www.x-eng.co.uk/X-Charge.asp is the split charge relay I intend to use.... It suggests that the thinner wire is connected to the wire that goes between the alternator and the charge light on the dash....... Or can anyone suggest a better place to wire to?

I've tried searching on here but can't find which colour wire to/from the alternator to use for the "trigger" wire for a split charge unit. I'm sure it's mentioned elsewhere, but very well hidden. No luck with the google either.

Typo on the price - £25 for the full day. £15 if you sign up to our group.

Yes, it's a recce trip - Only 2 places left........

I've finally got myself organised and booked a guided overland trip. I decided to go with WaypointTours to Algeria I've booked to go in February 2013 - Yes, I know it's a long time away, but I've a few things to do or have done to the 80 before departure. Is anyone else from here on the same...

I'm wanting to start on some more serious adventures - and having read some trip reports about various people driving to South Africa, I thought it might be worth starting to plan... One of my questions is, is it worth it? and if so why? apart from seeing Africa's wildlife and getting a load of...
