This thread will now just fall off the grid and i will create a part 2 build thread when back next year as keeping 2 threads going gets confusing.

Northernraider Your life is so much more interesting or so different to others that, like ianthebuilder , your old threads will keep being resurrected as new members find them.
I think many of us sad people live vicariously through you

 

[Langtoftlad]

As far as I'm concerned... I'd be happy if the forum was overrun with Northernraider threads...
...positive ones, can't be doing with negativity.

 

[Just smiffy]

Looking forward to this thread kicking up again with new zest with the build, living in your present van for the winter I wonder if your thoughts will change for the build on the vario when you get back…

The reality of driving one is a culture shock after any modern vehicle as well , even a vario

Screen usage time is about to increase for all of us who want to be with you every kilometre of your trip. Safe journey Tam.

I can buy a blank disc to put the light out ...but i dont have a key for the tacho so i cant open it

If no one else has posted it... A tacho key is a single lever jobby
They will even open with a screwdriver and a bit of muscle But you can make one in two minuted
Here is a picture so you can see the profile

I know!!!

 

[albertramsbot]

Woow, I have just brought a 614D and I am still trying to work out what is the difference? The 614D is 5990KG so lighter but it is the same length, height and width. The one I have brought is 90% complete, so I hope the previous owner hasn't just covered the rust

 

[Chrisallys]

Show us some pics and start another thread please

I do apologise, I didn't mean to hijack someone's thread. It just seemed a good place to post as the OP has almost the same van as me

Yes brought me through the gas tanks We would be well chuffed if you can find an unmanned border into Croatia (or even better out of Croatia back into Slovenia)! A leaky Schengen could be very popular
