  1. The purple skip!

    This used be seen on the roads around Dumfries - now this is a skip on wheels!
  2. Aldi 100 psi tyre inflator

    Looks a very good unit - essential when you are airing down for sand then have 4 big tyres to get back up to road pressures. I suppose for most on here its only for weekly checks so a smaller unit would be ok, but some of the compressor claims of 100psi are 'inflated' !!
  3. Battery maths help please

    Thanks, Been through the lithium scenario - but would need the low temp versions, and my oldish Sterling B2B would need replacing as well, and cant really justify the £1600 cost (with B2B)! Maybe in a few years time... The Leoch 115's seem good value, and I will put them in the (strengthened)...
  4. Battery maths help please

    I was just about to go the Ritar lead carbon route (100ah from Alpha) but realised the ones they sell now are Gel rather then AGM (I think your Ritars are AGM Wildebus?). I think the Gels have a lower cycle life at 1500 than the AGM,s. I will probably now go for the same Leoch,s as the OP, as I...
  5. WHITE

    Ages ago I asked the boss of the Land Rover demonstration team why they chose white Defenders - it was so they didnt show all the marks and scratches they picked up, Same with white vans I suppose...
  6. Night time disturbance.

    From complete silence to that with no warning was a"'What the **** was that moment"!
  7. Night time disturbance.

    Well that was a first - we went away last night to one of our favourite 'secret' places deep into the Galloway forest. Awoken about 11pm by an enormous engine noise. Well it was only an army Hercules flying at what must have been 200ft above us. (We only knew because it flew back over this...
  8. Chinese diesel heater error e-8

    E6 - check your fan blade isnt catching, you will be able to tell by listening to it.
  9. Barbondale

    Its a very narrow road (with some gates) and hairpins at the dent end, but plenty of places to pass. should be fine with a 6m van. Plenty of spots to spend the night as well.(especially near the end of the track to fell end farm)
  10. Wild camping Red Wharf Bay Llandonna

    I was here a couple of years ago in a land rover with a few friends also in land rovers (well, a few hundred friends actually).
  11. 31 Forest sites (Scotland) open again from 26 April (6pm to early AM only).

    Probably my error in the title of the thread as well! - apologies. I have used them quite a bit, and often had very friendly chats with the forest rangers, in fact one very local to me has said they will turn a blind eye to people staying longer. As usual, the rules are there in case they see...
  12. 31 Forest sites (Scotland) open again from 26 April (6pm to early AM only).

    Not sure I understand - we are not being treated any differently at all - they have not said anywhere you cannot park there during the day. I believe FLS are far more in tune with our interests than many local councils.
  13. 31 Forest sites (Scotland) open again from 26 April (6pm to early AM only).

    I think the intention is to prevent people setting up a camp during the daytime and using it like a camp site - parking to go walking or whatever is certainly not being stopped and I do this all the time for mountain biking on the 7 stanes forest sites. I think the forestry organisation should...
  14. 31 Forest sites (Scotland) open again from 26 April (6pm to early AM only).

    Probably donations required this time, probably around £5/ night. More details here
  15. Cameron McNeish advice on visiting Scotland after end of April

    As usual from Cameron, good advice, and not done in a preaching way like some do. Most of us on here will know all this already, and its probably second nature now, but this video should be shared as much as possible. Worth 6 minutes of your time, I hope.

  17. Essential viewing if planning to visit Scotland - Cameron McNeish

    This guy speaks so much sense, but better still he has the ear of the government (usually!) He is also not afraid to be outspoken, in the cause of campervans.
  18. my dream 'camper' (Iveco Daily 4x4) ..... only bother with video if interested in 4x4/overlanding

    Joe, As Guy says - have a look at post 93 above, but a few things I would add if you are buying one - the interior will speak for itself, as to condition etc, but let me know if you want some interior pics of mine, but beware they are all slightly different layouts! Check the roof for any impact...
  19. Chilly night tonight

    -21 in Braemar this morning!
  20. Battery down

    Doesnt sound like its getting any charge. All lead acid batteries self discharge (usually over a couple of months). Alternators often take a very small amount of current when off as well, I suspect, as above your battery is goosed unfortunately.
