We had planned to start our journey tomorrow morning

.........but there is still no truck in the drive

Our electrical issue seems to be bigge than first thought, but we are hoping that we should be picking it up at 8:30 -9:00 in the morning then it will be a hectic few hrs loading to set off.

So fingers crossed

good luck our fingers and toes are crossed for you

I'm sure it will all be fine.

It just means I'll be wiring in the auxiliary stuff in the car park of the hotel on Thursday and Friday night

Nick Burt, pack more cable and terminals !!!!

Wouldnt be the first time i've seen that done

Still got to secure the fridge slide so there may be a bit of drilling action as well

Best of luck fella, i hope it all gets sorted!! no end of drama for the 2012 crews

We will see you Friday night , you will make it mate

Aye, even if I have to do a 'James May' and turn up on the back of a tow truck we'll be at the hotel Friday night

Job done, we will then have all night to fix it
Sleep is for wimps We will get all the rest we need when we are dead

Tim - I'll let you know when you're moving

Hope matters get resolved okay

Good luck Tim, I'm sure it'll all come good.
See you Friday.

Very best of luck keeping everything crossed for you

Safe trip and look forward to seeing you at the start...

...we're bringing drill and bits

Well we have made it as far as Scotch Corner.

Left 6 hrs later than planned, got the fridge base in wired the fridge in and found that the internal battery is nearly empty and hasn't been charging because the aux battery is only running at 11.98.

Anyone know a garage in Swindon that can fit a new alternator at about 4 pm tomorrow?

Theres always Tony and the spanner gods.
I recon it should take them about 10mins if the have a tea break ...

If you have one pop by and I'll drop one on! Do you need me to pick one up? I have a spare on board but could do with taking one as well for spare's. Let me know soon as. Let me know what engine you have an ampage the alt is and if you want new or 2nd hand .
Easy fix as Mark says make sure the teas on it makes us work slower

Hi Tony

I have a new 100 amp disco one with me that I've ground the rear lug off so it will fit the 200
