Cost of a respray and proof?

Hi guys, Well after 2 truly amazing weeks successfully touring France, Germany and Switzerland we have decided that Poppy is one hot chick who needs some new clothes! lol! So we want to get her pared down, fixed in the rusty places (which to be fair, she hasn't got much of - mostly superficial), cha...

I'm a bit of a newbie to driving abroad having only done it once before (drove to/all around Britanny). We were think...

Re: Quick and easy awning/sunshade

This looks good!! We got an awning with the van which looks in good nick but there are so many bits and bobs (poles, ties, clips, pegs, grabs etc) that I reckon we might get in a muddle with it - might try your idea instead!! :D

Thicko newbie oil level question

Hi guys....don't laugh at me!! ;p Just checked the oil level when the engine was slightly warm and the oil only comes up to the first mark on the stick. I'm assuming (as with my car) it should be somewhere inbetween the first and second mark. My question is this; can I top up the level with any engi...
