Re: Yorkshire Dales - Coast to coast
got home a couple couple of hours ago. i think that i am right in saying that i am the only syncro that did not have a mechanical nor physical break down? (8 vans + baxter). realy good weekend. looked at the trip meter on the dash 856miles since thursday and not missed a beat . and still driving in a straight line, thanks to andy for finding the first camp site and leading a group, dai for telling me where to go,
did not get to the east coast for a couple of reasons but the wild camping spot that we found fitted the bill and made a real good end to the day. will post up some pics later got to spend some time with a 4 year old covered in chicken pocks that came on the day after i left.

Re: Yorkshire Dales - Coast to coast
I'm going to get the sump welded and Oil cooler fitted asap, fancy a rematch soon Andy? I'm sure you are also a bit peeved you didn't get to drive it too!
Nice to catch up with you all, and a few new faces (to me anyway)
w
under stans suggestion I stuffed tissue paper between the ribs in the sump and it hardly lost any Oil on the way back, Heh ho! Nevrr Mind.
Oh, and Andy, I Still have your "special rag " :Lol

it`s a big round cage and there`s too many animals in it for my liking. To help address this ring lee on 07977 765818.

Now including Andy on the same steps. Not a great vid, but does show the angle of ascent and the effect slippery rock steps have on road tyres.syncropatrick wrote:A few pics - http://gallery.me.com/harmonywood#10081 ... &view=grid

Re: Coast to coast - the aftermath!
Now at the workshop at Merton Road with Patricks van, getting head down for an early start tomorrow. Only setback so far is finding I must swap the crank pulley as Patricks van has PAS and the spare engine doesn't..

Re: Coast to coast - the aftermath!
Syncro's don't sound that good for off-roading!
Much better to leave it in bits like mine.
