Hi
The grass looks OK at the moment. See you in the morning.

 

[tonyandcarol]

So for our arrivals:

As you arrive at the campers entrance you hang a right turn immediately through the red gates passing in front of the building.

Water will be accessible on foot only. It's not as marked on the showguide plan. We suggest you arrive with full tanks.

Hi
How long a walk for water.

Hi

Wont have to walk anywhere, it’ll be raining as you arrive.

 

[WESTY66]

That’s the bit we camp in for bulldog day!!
That gate hole sure gets muddy if it rains, it will be a big puddle

Come full if you can, but if you need to fill here there are a couple of taps very close by.

Hi Jim
Thanks for the info.

 

[WESTY66]

Not a very good pic but the gate hole is full of water 2018

 

[Kannon Fodda]

Don't panic, there are other ways in an out if needed. But it's firm and mud free at the moment.

 

[Grimsbygranny]

hi, marshalls, I am hoping to arrive tomorrow morning and just stay 1 night,

Anyone left a chair at Pimm's afternoon internet's slow so can't post picture

Well, despite the rain, we’ve had a great weekend at the new “National Motorhome Show”. Thanks to one and all, and especially to Jim & Siân for the Pims P Up in the rain. Hope all those who are still there don’t get any more wet stuff.

 

[Grimsbygranny]

Safely home, taken dog for a walk, visiting the sick ( he's a lot better!) Now home to empty the van, safe journey home to all leaving tomorrow. Glad I made it even for only 1 night, thanks to J & S for the Pimms, it was just what I needed!

 

[Steve and Denise]

Lovely time with old and new friends, great marshalling and the Pimms with live music was excellent. Hope to see many of you again at Drax.

 

[truffs]

Home by 1.30 not a bad journey, great weekend had thanks to the marshals

 

[Kannon Fodda]

Was good to see everyone, and thanks to Jim & Sian for the liver damage Pimms afternoon rain dodging together with our stalwart musicians who played on in adverse conditions.

Anyone who thought your marshals were being a bit precise in your positioning should know that Jim had warned us he was taking scores and expected neatness when he stuck his drone up

Pitching Up at Newark and Party in the Rain

Thanks to Lee, Rob and Bill for their efforts in parking everyone up at Newark, as you can see they did a great Job. That empty bit, to the right of the orange van will host Pimms Party this afternoon. The Funster band will be there too. Dancing under a brolly is great fun. See you there

Lovely photos Wendy, it turned into a FUN afternoon

 

[tezza-alli]

We had a great time as usual!
Many thanks to all who make this happen.
After the Pimms we didn't make the evening entertainment

Thanks guys, we loved it.

 

[tonyandcarol]

Great weekend
Thanks to all who made it happen.

 

[Wendo55]

Had a great time even though the weather could have been better but not much we can do about that. At least the ground was solid and no wellies were required, unlike Peterborough last year!
Thanks to Jim and Sian for the Pimms and to the marshals for parking us so neatly.
See some of you in Hereford.

Sue it’s not a tool per se, it’s a thin funnel which goes into the Ad Blue tank (19 ltrs), but it’s an awkward position to fill, hence Paul is hoping to design and print one using his 3D printer.

The problem with the cap lock is that if the fuel cap is removed and no fuel added then as the eloys system assumes that each time the fuel cap is removed a full tank of fuel has been added it doses the tank accordingly... although this overdosing won't necessarily do any harm it will reduce the range of the fluid (which is not cheap)

Not sure what you’re on about - eloys ???

There is a tank near the passenger side step that holds the fluid it is injected into the fuel to aid clean combustion,from memory it should do 80 to 100k miles on a full tank, certainly on my adblue boxer and fairly certain on most other makes with adblue.
Circa £20 ltr

I’m aware of that fact, but the device locking the ad- blue cap is merely to prevent some ‘Herbert ‘ putting anything in your 19 ltr ad blue tank. Nothing else. Simples

It's purpose is fine but it may have the desired effect but also an un desired effect,may be solving a problem that doesn't exist ??

 

[pwilmo]

I'm not too sure on this ..but Adblue and eolys systems are two different engine systems, they do not run together .. it's either - or.

The eolys system has a tank for deisel -fuel additive which is for reducing particles /cleaner burning.

The adblue is a tank for adding into the exhaust sytem to neutralise gas emmissions.
I googled and it seems Fiat changed from eolys to adblue around 2016.

I think if you using an adblue lock cap then removing the fuel cap is not going to confuse the eolys system because you won't have eolys and adblue together.

I'm pretty sure some more Funsters can help us and know the proper info.
