Just for comparison, the spec of this is identical to mine (theirs has slightly higher mileage ), but comes in at around £14500 then the shipping costs have to be added. You should only be paying £10 - £14k for one already in this country, dependant on miles / condition. [URL...

OK, here goes, readers please move on if you are not interested! (But seeing all the 'toilet' threads..........!) And no, wont be selling it anytime soon! DELICA L300 VANTECH JB470. 1999 (T reg) L300 2.5L TD. 85BHP, Manual 5 speed with H+L transfer 4WD box. 28000 miles. Toilet + shower...

I have done a bit of a good points/ bad points summary but cant seem to pm it to you, and a bit lengthy (and of no interest to most on here!) to post. There are only 2+ dog of us, but think Tookey has kids? so better to comment. Its certainly all set up for a family of 4, but if you are over 6'...

Mike, I remember the main Kylesku to Rhiconich single track road very well before the eu funding to get it upgraded to the excellent road it is now. Imagine that as it was, with all the traffic now. I regularly help out with the sheep at my friends croft farm in Achlyness (They are still waiting...

We used a fantastic spot on the liddel water just before saughtree, next to the burn. Much quieter than kielder. Dave

The exchange rate doesnt help at the moment, and when I looked, it wasnt that attractive to import one, as the cost was much the same as finding a good one in UK. I cant mail you, being a free member, but can try and answer any questions on the JB470 if you like. (Have had mine 3 years now).

You would need that ground clearance when it floods in Hebden Bridge!!

I am always window shopping for 'alternative' soft 4x4 vans that could be made into campers, and a change to the usual Sprinter/ transit awd / t6 4motion etc. Loads of RHD choice in Japan, but saw one of these the other day in the borders (Only in LHD)...

Yours for £40k!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/The-Beastie-VW-LT40-4x4-Ultimate-Overland-Expedition-Camper-Motorhome/324272983557?hash=item4b802d0e05:g:mjkAAOSw1RJfRUGo

A friend of mine has an old Wildmoor PRV de-mountable camper that mounts via rollers on the pick up bed, so its easy to 'drive away'. Its based on a Mitsi L200 4x4 single cab. (He is actually about to sell it...)...

I slightly misled you with diff lock, our older 4x4's have no centre diff - so going into 4x4 mode (H or L ratio) locks front and rear axles directly. It does have front auto freewheel hubs though. There is a good section in the owners manual on how to use it. My other Delica (L400) had viscous...

Answer is, its very capable! Just back from a week in the Scottish borders. Towed a lwb transit m/h out (twice!) off muddy field which is becoming the norm now. Downside is height with overhanging branches, and not good on sideslopes. Make sure you engage low ratio and diff lock now and again...

??????????????

They have had these for a few years in the Trossachs drive through forest parks - good idea.

The red squirrel camp site Glencoe gets my vote for the most expensive site - great location, but for a family of 4 ( with 2 teenage kids) its £50 a night for a tent!!

Glencoe now only taking pre-booked vans due to abuse of their Covid rules, (and also not getting any donations). Shame the majority have spoiled it for the few again, but well done Glencoe resort we fully understand. FB quote : "Please note that with immediate affect only tents and campervans...

I stayed in a forest car park a couple of weeks back and a large m/h had taken up a complete bay of 4 car spaces by parking lengthways. It rightly Got a few dirty looks from the dog walkers who arrived early morning and had to park on one of the other few bays there were. We will only ever use...

Still plenty of quiet places if you are prepared to get an OS map out, and find some small roads. The 2 different lochs are only 15m from Oban taken last week (and yes, we removed all traces of the fire). No animosity from the few people we met (1 lady even apologised for the weather!).

A few years ago, my lad paid £180 for a week repairing NT paths in Kintail, but all bunkhouse accomodation and food was provided, he had a great time, and was a working holiday for him.
