RobUK Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Anyone got a spare engine? Just been doing my pre dragonball checks and have a horrible rattle from cylinder 3/4... Friend of mine came round and reckons the little end bearing may have gone.... Gutted.……… Looks like we are now coming in the Honda CRV I guess we have to look on the bright side... At least we are going... Cry cry cry........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 What the hell! Hope it isn't & you can sort it out It's rattling like a bag of marbles mate... Glad it did it today and not on the way to rotterdam... Already put in the request to get the eurotunnel details changed as there is no way I can sort it out in time... Even if I started today, getting the block sorted etc would take more time than we have before leaving.... Big sad grumpy face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah I know just have to be glad it didn't happen on the journey otherwise we would be spending the weekend on the back of a recovery truck.... Just means we now have more room for stuff, so I'll take a selection of tools etc I reckon the crv will look good with dragonball stickers on anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 plenty of room on the back seat of mine id guess too if my pasport arrives and i can come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sorry to hear about your bad luck Rob - thanks for thinking of others and bringing tools, I normally bring a set but maybe I don't need to? Mine has started to improve again, currently running ok on low boost. Added breakdown cover to the to do list though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 That's bad luck Rob I'm not to 'girlyish' on the packing front as I pack light, I could probably get away with a small holdall but if there's no room in deans supra it would be great if you could chuck it in the back of the CRV. After being 8 kilos over my recent 15kg baggage allowance and thanks to thomas cook for charging £14per kilo I've learnt my 'multiple shoes' lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Your cutting it fine with the passport ! Hope you can make it, are you bringing your wife? Well that's the thing. The uk border agency are dragging there heels on her visa application. Hence why we don't have our passports back yet. If her visa is approved before Thursday and it arrives she can come. I have asked them to send mine back so I can come at least, but it hasn't arrived yet. But we are pretty sure she won't be able to come. And I'll be lucky if I can make it. Holiday to Florida right after is probably a no go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) My satnav tells me there is a toll on the m25 / a282 is this right? If so how much of a diversion is it to avoid it? Ahh I see it is for the dartford tunnel crossing no need to avoid it Are there still a million speed cameras in it ? It's been a while since I have used it.

Mine has started to improve again, currently running ok on low boost. Added breakdown cover to the to do list though I had the supra stuffed with tools last year.. Soldering iron, fuses the lot.... I'll at least bring the basics plus some obscure things just in case... Oh and I'll make sure I have my hammer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
