So firstly, thank you all for the input 😂 I resolved the issue and found full units which were brand new after market which done the trick. So if anyone else ever has this issue, there is a resolution!

Hi all, we’ve upgraded our awning so looking at selling on the above. Couple of pics attached, we only used it 3 times, once in a real downpour and we were dry! Really don’t think postage is realistic so just so you know, we’re in Hampshire!

Good morning all, rumours of my demise were exaggerated…. I had the pleasure of going to check what bulbs I needed for my rear right indicator and rear left top brake lights… oh how I laughed when I discovered that they are sealed LED units and I need to replace both of them… I’ve been scouring the interweb and currently have someone in Japan trying to source for me. On the off chance, does anyone know if there is an easier way to get them? The ones currently on the van are aftermarket units. If it makes a difference, a couple of pics which may/ may not help! Thanks in advance, and yes, I know this is probably in the wrong place so I’m waiting to be told😂

I use cross climate on my car and the Vellfire. Been really good for me, and when we get the yearly whiteout, confidence on the road. Also with the van, with 4wd and crossclimates on, pretty sure I’ll get out of most muddy fields. I uped the load rating and speed rating (got a better deal on the higher speed rating)

Northstar again, cannot fault the workmanship or service. We has a wee niggle with a couple of bits, they paid for the return ferry, fixed it all in a couple of hours, gave us a car to explore the island in while getting sorted. They were massively busy yesterday so unsure what wait times are currently, but well worth the wait!

Paid £285 for our 3.5 v6 Vellfire for 1st year..

Off to the IOW today, but will get a list of fuel stops up!

So, a bit of facts and figures for you. NC500 was in fact 1802 miles from start to finish. We averaged 30mpg over the entire journey, and we were down to 19mpg over some of the roads in the highlands so actually very pleased. Van was fully laden to cover us for 12 days, stayed sensible on the motorways going up, about 60 on cruise control, will admit to not quite as sensible coming back, mostly 70 but still a good overall average which could’ve been even better if I kept the speed a wee bit lower.

Some proper Scottish weather this morning, see if you can spot it in the pictures….beautiful campsite in Dornoch tonight, outstanding facilities and location.

Not much longer to put up with updates….Great drive along the north coast today, compulsory stop at John O Groats for signpost picture then down the east coast to Wick for tonight’s stop. Filled up in Truro, £1.71, could also have filled up in Wick at Tesco. Campsite a little more basic tonight, but absolutely fine for a night.

Short 60 mile hop today to Durness. Fantastic drive again, roads to ourselves pretty much, campsite pitch is something else! £27 for electric pitch, great facilities, spotlessly clean.

Clean Scottish rain!

Another superb day. Up to Clachtoll, via the Jet fuel station in Ullapool, £1.87 per litre, I’ve had worse!

Tonight’s campsite is Sands just outside Gairloch, excellent facilities and location.
