Interesting read, also the posters from 2010 appear not to be not active now, apart from Angel, who is quiet, Eugene, top man, and Daveo. A STAN chap keeps appearing, where are you all...... |

Great read, with all the talk of failing Gearboxes what was the history of yours? And did you do any special prep of it |

In regards to the gearbox, I just reread the section of the website that dealt with vehicle prep

I can't disagree with you about the gearbox, and having towed a big trailer up some serious hills I know what you mean. However, you wouldn't notice this so much if the engine was a lot more powerful. The TD6 is really substantially underpowered. |

I've had the car full of crap and the trailer right at capacity (3500kg) and on hills I don't flog it, just slow down till it reaches max torque. It's far too noisy to try and go faster.

I'm still around but in Thailand last week enjoying the islands. Lots of talk about overland Africa trips as our youngest is getting to an age where it becomes feasible. So Raymond don't fret you can still do it but just have to wait a bit!
