The resurrection of Doc, bringing a 20 year old neismann Bischoff Flair back to life after 12 years off road.

Only got the one dog and she isn't affected by change of food .
4 dogs is a different story .
My 6m PVC doesn't have a lot of space anyway .
p.s. fresh orange juice (zumo naranja) is available in most Spanish cafes .

Zumo naranja is not squash though

Oh I know that .
Squash is orange in colour , similarity ends there !
Actually didn't realise it was still available.
Vodka and orange , way back , was squash . Don't think you see it pubs anymore ?

Squash is various colours.all depends on what flavour

It's a bit daft really ..

Surely it's only the output you should need to change.

Up the input and you'll see a difference.

not allowed to carry fuel on a ferry in containers either .

Don't look.

So do I, but changing dog food suddenly upsets their stomach's... so you mix it over a period of time.


Also 4 dogs go through a fair bit food and France is expensive. I've only 50kg of dog food



I do however have 27 bottles of squash

Ye cannae find it in Europe

You certainly can, look in France for Tesseire it’s a brand name , comes in various flavours and it is in aluminium bottles with a plastic flip lid , very good quality too

Or colouring

Apparently not allowed to carry fuel on a ferry in containers either .

Now Doc has a diesel tank = plastic
A 20 litre petrol tank for generator =plastic

There's a plastic petrol tank on the scooter.

But you're not allowed to carry an empty or full petrol cannister...also plastic .


I don't get it.


I'm sure someone just makes up these rules for a laugh.

2 years ago I crossed to France on Brittany Ferries and had the garage checked "Any fuel in containers?" - "Yes 5 litres of diesel" - "That's OK but no more than 5"

Came back on DFDS through Dieppe - no fuel in containers allowed.

Check in was delayed while I emptied the 5 litres into the tank - ridiculous!

The only time carrying fuel in containers has been a problem - DFDS

What did you do with your fuel?

THE END!!

T

THE END!!

Not quite

I will pop a few van related posts on here now and then as it's still being improved but the other thread will be the main one now.

Tuning box definitely makes a difference on general performance, it will never be car like but was always a bit sluggish pulling out junctions etc but pulls a whole lot better ,acceleration is great and constant.. up the gears much faster. Pulls well up hills . Will have to see if it nows holds speed on inclines or not .. here's hoping .

No pulling to the left now either and no bangs or knocks so I think it's mostly been our road surfaces .

 

[berni109]

Lack of pulling left could be French camber is to the right cancelling out what you experienced in the UK.

Syrup? It's a lot more expensive than UK stuff though.

 

[Stonemags76]

We carry these in the van - about 4” square & the equivalent of a litre bottle!

Parked up for tonight just around the corner from the parts shop at a little inland beach and lake. The part should have arrived by 9am so I'll collect it after that.


Nice walk around the lake for the mutts
