Mull will be a different place this weekend, with the annual rally (I will be servicing as usual). I have never had a problem with WC on Mull - the locals are generally fine (couldnt care less!) - its the White settlers that cause the aggro!!

I am not sure how to sort it out, presumably the BCM (body control module)? may need re-programming to enter the new rolling diameter...

When I did exactly the same change, as you say the speedo is now exactly correct, however, the odometer is now around 7% under reading, so any mpg readings off the trip computer are also out... Is yours the same?

Thanks for the link - A great idea, I was going to make one (I even have the flow sensor), but at that price, its not worth it.... https://www.multipure.com/content/DigiFlow-8100T-1_4.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOooGx36mu9rFZILIbEuXlVJIcCTXb8OzE49mqSsrGVBX1EYm1jbH

I use Britannia as well, with their personal cover, it covers you (and spouse) for ANY vehicle you are in, even if it doesnt belong to you (hence no questions about your vehicle). It also covers classic cars (I have one 70 years old, and one 90 years old). Excellent deal, they used to be part of...

Recently I have had major problems with DVLA registering classic cars, they are completely unreliable, and often change their requirements overnight. I wouldnt be surprised if the dealer is telling the truth, but you need to get the full story.

Mick Perhaps consider using Quirky campers to advertise it (less facebook idiots / scammers)...I just sold my old 4wd motorhome on there, a week ago to similar money to yours. Standard ad is £20, but well worth it I think... I could have sold mine 5 times over, and I am in Scotland as...

For the OP, you probably already know, but check the MOT history of any contenders on the DVLA website. This is critical to knowing a bit about a vehicles repair history, that might have been 'covered up' or not revealed in a sales pitch.. Means you can weed out the bad ones from your armchair...

From personal experience, i wouldnt get anything based on a transit around that age....unless they had extra undersealing from new, they tend to rust very badly...

My BIL has a van swing, and carries 2 electric bikes, my only criticism, is that it extends the distance from the back of the van quite a lot, and must add at least a metre to the o/a length. I use a tow bar mounting Buzz rack (for 2 e bikes), this does tilt down, but still not enough to open...

If you travel a few miles further up, to Clachan sands, its a much nicer (in my opinion!) sandy beach - extends to around 2 miles in each direction. Park on the dunes, and there is a honesty box. Grid Ref 872768.. Pic below shows our van, the beach extends the same distance in the other...

Exactly this, its the only way to do it properly ....! Nice to see intelligent advice, rather than heresay or misinformation....

If you book online, you can change your sailing to any time or date through the online system, its very easy, we do it all the time.

Hosta beach on north Uist, a few days ago.....again, no problem parking in the Dunes (NOT the Machar), with land owners OK.

Clachan sands beach on N Uist....a week ago.. Fine to overnight on dunes (owner asks for a donation)

Taken yesterday afternoon at Barra airport.... It was an hour or so late, so it looks like the tide was just coming in!!

Standard road lights on rally cars need to be legal (55W), as non closed roads are used to access service/ stages, but auxiliary lights can be 100W, or more commonly, LED bars. With Scottish 'road' rallies, like Mull and the Jim Clark, closed roads means legally closed, and enforced by police.

I fitted 4 Osram +200% brighter nightbreakers to my 2020 Relay, the difference is really excellent, and, yes, I know they wont last anywhere near as long as standard, but I do quite a bit of night driving on back roads, so long range visibility is my priority. I have used nightbreakers on all my...

The 'luxury' car tax applies to any non EV registered after 2017, however if its classed as an EV, the tax only seems to apply after April 2025, so i think you will be OK... I am sure you will check, and double check!! The Dec 2024 reg is only a sales target thing to reach dealer end of year...

That looks a great deal! Certainly undercuts toyotas etc... I have just changed my 12 year old car and gone for a tiguan. Decide to go either german or japanese. Definately check that road tax (premium added for first 5 years if over 40k). Good luck.. Presume its a 2024 pre-reg?
