Hi guys….l am the lady you met in Sainsbury’s the other day….thinking on about you expenses Forrest your engines l was wondering if someone could set up a ‘Go Fund Me’ page for you…..being 75 yrs l wouldn’t have a clue how to do it.but surely one of your subscribers could maybe have a go….lots of ❤️ ❤❤
Guys, you might enjoy doing an engine maintenance course - often available at a local college. It's really important to check engines frequently for signs for hoses, brake pipes and wiring that are rubbing on other objects. Also watch out for rodents chewing wiring. (They can be discouraged by mothballs and by wrapping wires with aluminium foil tape.) Also use fully synthetic oil in the engine if it's suitable. It's worth the extra cost. You could do a video about this subject!
You are amazing - you have alot of energy, alot of clarity in your head, and still young,you can help/serve the world. You will be blessed for us. What an amazing person.....who lives from the inside... WOw....-God bless you 2.
@@marilynarnott8284 great video , very helpful to better understand your backstory . All the best .

Before my husband's passing we traveled full time in a vintage trailer in the U.S. After his passing I was so lost I sold the trailer and bought a caravan. I traveled alone for 3 years until the cursed Covid (crap). I settled in to a vintage mobile home on 1/2 acre that I own. As a wanderlust I also backpacked through Central America for a year. I miss those days but now, as a woman of a certain age, I am happy where I am planted. You will never regret your adventures, the good and not so good. Love you both ❤
Well said 👏
So so true. So sorry for your loss, but well done for soldiering on alone and living that same spirit you both had. As you say , living life to the full you have few regrets, 💖💖💖
Don’t give up your amazing van life, it’s all new, now go and enjoy the rest of your time in Morgan, let him take you both far and wide.
A new adventure is just beginning… 🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️
@@ThoseHappyDays 👌- amazing people you 2.
I love your story I'm sorry to hear about your husband you sound very courageous I really take my hat off to you🌈
We've been watching your videos since the Frida days. It was great to see a recap. You are both living a special life, and have stayed out of the trap. Stay free, as the powers that shouldn't be are planning to end freedom for us all. We wish you the best of luck, and hope that it all works out for you. Much love.
Thank you, we are committed to the pursuit of freedom and always will be 🙏
I so admire the both of you for following your bliss. So many of us wish to live a life that is different, but have neither the fortitude or courage.
Hi!! I live in a very small caravan in my adopted mother’s garden in a small village near Driffield! Beginning of my mid life crisis and after a rough break up at Christmas… Watched a lot of your videos and you really inspire me to save hard and get a camper so I can travel!! I am a lot older than you guys and my dogs are as big as guinea pigs so it is a daunting thought! But you guys make me feel like I could do it!! Hope all works out and may even see you on the road one day!! Peace to you both. ❤
Do it and don't look back 🙏🚐
How can I help you on RUclips?? I like your videos and have subscribed!! Is that what helps??
@klaireholliday9660 commenting and liking videos past and present really helps...and of course subscribing 🙏🙏🙏
I lived in Skidby before venturing out alone on my narrowboat. Wishing you well on your journey, you can and must give it a go!
Do it, what’s the worst that can happen ?
I agree 100% on your choice of freedom vs the traditional mill stone, I'm 66 years old and did the traditional mill stone way of life and have regretted it, especially after watching you guys having a ball of a time, so I'm having that time by simply watching you every week enjoying your lives to the full, no matter what comes your way... I have had good times but after 50 years of working my socks off, I can tell you that you are doing the right thing! Never give it up no matter what the obstacles that come your way, you have had such a great life to date, keep it up, and enjoy life for yourselves, never conform to the mortgage 2.2 children lifestyle, it is really not as good as they say...
Thank you, really appreciated reading that 🙏✨️
How lovely to have the recap of your story together. I joined you when you were in Morgan in Cornwall. We were about to visir Cornwall on holiday and I was searching RUclips for some interesting places to visit while we were there and I stumbled across your videos and became a fan. I aso found out that you were often to be found on the South Coast where I live, and since last week, I can actually say that I have met Janine! (You were out at the time, Liam). I really hope that you find a way to carry on with van life. I would miss you so much. Sending lots of love, Manda xx
You are a legend Manda! Was such a pleasure meeting you and thanks for the lovely gifts 🎁
@@ThoseHappyDays ❤️
That was so nice hearing how you met and started your life together! Hoping everything goes well from now on, best of luck xx
Thank you so much!!
Hope you keep Morgan..Such a shame to give up on him now.. You can always start gardening again and live in him ❤❤
Brilliant recap. Life’s journey!
Whatever happens just adds to the souls experience. Keep on keeping on. 🧡🌈
Wow you two have had quite a journey so far in your life together. It takes courage to cram so much in and you will have so many memories to look back on when this life is done. That is the way to live, life is too short to waste. Whatever comes next we wish you all the very best❤❤❤
Thanks guys, your channel name and your personalities embody that also 😀
Is the. 1st time I’ve come across ur channel and I salute you guys for being a real life fighter, hard working and having insane amount of courage to overcome all these crazy challenges! bless you all for finding each other to experience this beautiful life that you’ve created!! Keep on going and one day when ur old and looking back with no regrets but a big smile ❤️😇🙏🏻 take care and stay safe!! New sub and liked ur vids ✊🏻🙌🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Much gratitude for joining the channel! And thank you for the kind words 🙏
Really admire how you seize the moment and make decisions. Well done.
I made a claim over a faulty car which the dealer ignored.
I won by default when he didn"t defend it.
They didnt pay up, so i sent in a bailiff firm who got the money plus expenses first visit after threatening to remove assets.
I hope this is the case for you.
Thank you
Great to see you back. I cant believe how much you guys have managed to do in 3 years. I hope you are keeping g a diary, for that book.👍❤🇬🇧
I picked fruit in Australia too for 2 years (2012-2014) and during the long strenuous and repetitive hours of physical labor under a killer sun, I was making a plan on how to improve my future which was: I also wanted to work outdoors so train for a trade (electrician), get a job to get credit, buy a property renovate it sell it and do that again until you have the one you want to keep.
I followed the plan and it worked, 10 years later I live on La Réunion Island I am renovating/rebuilding my house, I have a beautiful land overlooking the ocean with my girlfriend, some chickens a tortoise and a cat, many plants and I often think back at that time picking apples or grapes in Australia, it was definitely a defining moment for me.
It doesn’t come easy though does it. Work hard, make a long term plan and go for it. People say it’s living the dream, but it doesn’t come for free. Well done!
That's amazing to hear mate! 👏 The reality of it all is that the decision to live the way you want it, or at least head in that direction, was the defining moment. Working on orchards strengthened the decision that it was all possible
Great to hear your success story 👍 ✨️👌
I am 60 years old and have shared many similar experiences as yours in my lifetime. I have been following you since you got Morgan and have loved your journey. I hope you find a happy solution to this predicament and that we can continue sharing your fabulous adventures. I know that it's important to you to be self funding but I am sure that many of your fans would be happy to donate to a Go Fund Me to help with the cost of the new engine. I wish you all the best with whatever you decide to do ❤❤❤
Yeah good idea, Im happy to make a donation for all the great content ❤
Thank you so much for sharing all of this, it was so wonderful to hear your story in more detail. You have definitely had a run of very bad luck with Morgan of late, but what shone through so much was all the incredible things you have accomplished and experienced. Together you have had so many "once in a lifetime" adventures that many people will only daydream about. You are both brilliant for finding ways to make your dreams into a reality and being strong enough to challenge yourselves to live life a little more boldly and freely is a huge achievement. That is not to negate the many stresses you will have faced along the way, but wherever this next phase leads you I feel sure that somehow you two will be able to make things work.
I had same issue with Toyota main dealer and loss of coolant . It went in for a full service I notify them about a small loss of coolant . It came back with no leak found after Toyota looked at it and pressure tested it . The pressure test is done by removing the radiator cap and pressure is applied to see if it drops . It never dropped .
The next day it lost more coolant . It went back and tested again no leak on the system was found . I had two sets of paper work giving it a clean bill of health . Total mystery to the main Toyota dealer who serviced the vehicle from new .
A week later it went back again I marked the coolant bottom with the pencil mark on the loss per day they tested again no leak . Went on a longer trip after reassurance from the dealer . When driving on the motorway the heating went cold no guage showed any movement then the temperature guage dropped as the engine coolant left the engine . Got home no coolant had difficulty starting it next day then checked total empty of coolant . Rac came out took the radiator cap off he turned it over and the seal was split on the radiator cap and this allowed hot water to evaporate and Engine to push out all the coolant . Went back to Toyota they said the engine was Fcuked . New engine for £ 5000 was needed . It was fitted the after it was done introduced the paper work and they had refitted the old radiator cap back on I showed them the rac report and eventually agreement was to go half . I refuse to pay and they refused to give me the vehicle back . Eventually when I threatened to hire a car until and bill them the eventual went to £1500 . Which I paid got the car back and never returned . I did think about legal proceeding but the cost wasn't worth it .
For a £3 radiator cap . Good luck I hope the garage has liable insurance and they pay out otherwise the will probably just dissolve the company . Especially if it's a back street garage . Solicitors don't care how much it costs or if you win or lose they always get paid whatever the outcome even if you win no guarantee you will get the cash to pay the solicitor bill . They will play tennis will your money between the other parties solicitor racking up the costs .
My advice find out if they garage has liability insurance and deal with them directly . Otherwise walkaway .
As always, this little window into your lives was brilliant. I have followed you for a while now, and your love for one another, your discipline, courage, and professionalism (in a very laid-back way) make you such a joy to watch. Sadly, difficult and challenging things happen to good people too, however, I do believe it makes us stronger, and if anyone can flower and grow from this, you two can. Sending you Blessings and Love 🙏💗
Great update/recap. You are doing what so many folk wish that they were doing. I look forward to next week’s vlog. Stay warm and safe x
What an excellent edit with a superb narration. God bless you and and all the very best for the future. Your resilience and fortitude really came through as you described the trials and tribulations the path you chose to take. I honestly believe that you will both always find that the grass will be greener on the other side ....
Great recap Liam! Bloody hell what a predicament. Having said that, IT'S ALL TEXTURE-- whatever ARISES IS workable. MAKE SURE TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND OPEN TO WHAT ARISES.
I spent most of my weekend's and holidays in the summer in my childhood and teens at Brighton in a caravan on the old Sheepcote valley camping site and then at Happy Days site in Lancing, have many fond memories,the caravan at Brighton had gas lights!and the mods and rockers used to show up at the Brighton site and then lots of hippies camped there, i was about 9 or 10 yrs old and loved being around the hippies.you've had some great adventures and I hope you have lots more and much happiness.
Looking to the future I can see you two making your home in India, but whatever you decide will be the right decision as it is ment to be, your destiny is maped out.
Good luck and I'm looking forward to next week's vlog.❤
No matter what the future holds blessings to you both 🙏❤
Thank you, and to you 🙏🍀
Hi guys, great video it was nice to have the re cap on it all, even though we have watched you for many a year.
I truly hope you get it all sorted out, as it will be sad to see Morgan go..not to mention you two.
Take care and thanks for taking us all with you on your journey.😊
I have been with you from the start, I really admire what you have done, thank you for allowing us to see your adventures.
All the very best from Pee.
@thosehappydays please could you discuss living in a static? Looked at it lots but most sites have limits on occupancy and frown on you living there. Then they are often owned my unscrupulous persons who will only let you sell it to them etc would be interesting to get a break down and take on it. Kind regards
This was such an interesting video. I did not know your backstory; I have only been watching you for about a year now. What an amazing journey you have had. It's great that you and Janine have acquired the skills you have (gardening, baking, editing) because, if you ever do decide to stop travelling full time, you will have the skills to either get work or better yet, start your own company again. I hope that everything goes well with Morgan now that you have a new, properly installed, engine in it. You and Janine are such a wonderful couple to watch.
Fingers crossed things work out for you both. Good luck. Xxx
Thank you 🙏
I loved this recap what an amazing story!
I hope you keep sharing your adventures whatever you do, they are so fun to watch ❤
Ah, now I get it, thats a damn shame on the first company who did engine and ancillary with 12 months warranty... Well that wasnt worth the paper it was written on.
I could see it was a money pit when you looked at it! You have put your heart and souls into it, it’s now beautiful!
I’ve only been watching your channel since just before you sold your Brighton caravan. Really nice to catch up with the before times. Thoughts are with you both regarding everything really but mainly the legal aspect. Can’t see you losing that case. Love your overcoming positivity ✨🫶🏻✨
Don't give up guys summer is on its way and we will all feel better.you have inspired me and Tracey.just bought a van and loving it.take care and enjoy. Rob
Beautiful recap! Much love to you, I really appreciated the background and I know that you will find a way onwards!
I am keeping everything crossed that you get justice and don’t have to give up on your dreams. Take care xx
Great recap I have followed you from your early days and never forget your Xmas Day disaster in Castleton. These memories will last a life time and I do hope your zest for life hasn't been tainted by the disasters you have encountered. You are both such positive people and I enjoy your channel greatly so whatever you decide I do hope and wish you the best xxx
Thanks for re-sharing your story, I started following you after lockdown when you had got your next van.
Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone, you are a lovely couple. You inspire people to have the option of an alternative lifestyle, and your honesty, generosity and friendliness is an inspiration to everyone, in a world where everything seems to be changing all too quickly (I think for the worse!). Despite all your problems, you manage to find alternative arrangements to ensure you live your life to the full. I hope your van works out ok and you find your next chapter in the wonderful world that is life.
Good luck guys, only you can decide what's best for you. Fingers crossed you get the money back, soon, and don't need to worry too much. We love seeing your fun adventures
I've been with you since the very beginning,and I CAN'T BELIEVE how your channel has grown ! Congrats on everything you've been able to accomplish! You've really opened my eyes on things. You 2 are AWESOME HUMANS !!
MUCH LOVE,good positive vibes!
Thank you so much!! 💕🚐
Been subscribed for a year or so and loved this history / back story vlog. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope things work out for the best for you both!
Cool recap...also loved hearing the part about the rickshaw helping the animal rescue...sorry there was alot of trouble with the engine...continue to enjoy the content😊
That recap was brilliant, I didn’t realise how long I’d been watching you, time goes so fast when you’re on holidays with friends LOL. I so hope everything works out for you guys and they come to the party re Morgan’s repairs, personally I’m feeling pretty positive about it and very often my gut feelings are right. Looking forward to next weeks video and having a quiet 🙏 to Mother Earth for a positive outcome. 💕
That was such an interesting and informative video! Great recap’, which is not always easy ;)
Good story about resilience and rebound 🙏 Thanks for the time and care you put into it, best of luck 🍀
Been watching you since your move out of the static caravan and have enjoyed the many ups and downs. You guys are amazing and it’s a privilege to be able to share your life through the power of RUclips. At the end of the day you have to go with your heart, so whatever you decide it’s your life and you have to be happy
Good recap guys!❤I’m so glad that your free spirit hearts are enjoying Morgan again. Explaining your commitment to minimalism so you that could experience van life and real freedom is wonderful. Sending you Light, Love and Joy energies as I I wish you both the very best always!❤🙌🏼💝🌈☘️💕☀️☘️Happy St Patrick’s Day. God Bless!🙏🏼🌸🌿🤗😘
Thank you so much, happy St Patricks Day 🍀🙏
This morning I was just walking out of Lidl when this couple walked past me and through the car park. I recognised them but couldn't think where from. ?
I then went to put some fuel in my van. And saw Morgan ! OMG. I would have said hello..
All the best. Paul from Dronfield. Derbyshire. Working in Warwick at the mo.
As they say, as one door shuts another five open, to step into the next level of adventure. You know more than most it feels the most scariest but that's exactly when to make the jump into what ever you choose. Can't wait to hear what your next adventure is, as you inspire so many to take risks, and start leading with their hearts.
Wow. What a great story and adventure I really admire your resolve. Nice to see also how you support each other. Something many could learn from. Sending love and continued success in your direction♥️♥️♥️♥️👍😉
I loved watching this video today, even with the hurdles you have endured along the way you have both kept on going,being true to yourselves. Keep those positive vibes that have got you through before. Positively brings back positivity. One day this is the life my partner and i are aiming for. Love to you both ❤ x
More Sunshine and Power to you'll. Stay happy together and stay positive. Best wishes from India. 🌻
Godspeed.
Wow, thanks for the recap. Life's all about the decisions we make, try not to stress it too much. I wish you luck ❤
What a wonderful story, it invoked so many emotions, even though as a follower I would have followed your journey. But when it’s all put together you include little things we don’t see. Stay strong you’re both awesome.
Pete, my dad's name :) your life has been so exciting over the last few years I've been watching your vids . Thankyou for sharing , glad your vans working again , hope the last garage will pay for the engines problems
Wow, what a round up, Liam. Great to hear the story from the beginning. I was trying to workout where I joined your journey - I believe it was midway during your first trip around the UK in Morgan.
Catch you next week. Happy St Patrick's Day! 😊
Hey Guys, now Morgan is at his best you’ve just got to make the most of him. You’ve got to continue the claim against the first garage, and even if you get a negative outcome, just let slip who they are…. We can bombard social media until they pay up . Stay positive always. ❤
Fab update t thanks. Some of the earlier
stuff I didn’t know.
You have 192k subscribers. If we all sent you 10p that would be £19 000! Forget about the court case and motor on!
What a story! Hats off to you two! Been following you for a while now. Don't give up! Love from Ireland! ❤
This just popped up in my timeline and I clicked……. What a great video, great to have a recap and get to know your story. Love the idea of being free from the day to day corporate world, for me it’s a dream for now! Wishing you both the best.
What an amazing, inspiring and courageous adventure! I've only recently started following and I do hope you continue following your adventures aboard Morgan. All the best!
Thank you for following our journey 😀
Hi to both of you, I am a recently new subscriber. Fascinated with your story so thanks for filling in the back story! You should give your secrets for resilience..but of course, Inam sure having each other is No 1!
Saying a big Hello from somewhere over the hill near Glastonbury! Xx
Loved this little retrospective.
Think I ‘joined you’ stealth camping in York and been here ever since.
Keep doing whatever it is you’re doing. Thanks for the videos. 👍
God bless you both and Morgan. Wishing you the best you have lived life so richly and with joy and curiosity. One time after a bad purchase of a condo, all of them were leaky, a horror story in BC, Canada in the 80-s and on, I saw a lawyer about my concerns about buying it and the money I owed. He asked how much and when he hear the sum, he said, it is nothing, do not worry. You will get it all back and more. He was right. I did. And I did not fear losses as much following that. You will flourish because of your attitude and love of life. BEST to both of you. And Morgan will be fine and serving you well. Keep faith.
Thank you for your faith 🙏
Wow, that is such an amazing history story, i do like to travel myself and this was almost inspirational !
Keep going in your wanderful life journey !
It looks like you have been through a lot of tears and joy !
So chuffed that you donated the rickshaw to the sanctuary. Fabulous.
I didn't know the story of your early days, so thank you for taking us back to the beginning. You two were meant to be together. I never found my soulmate, so it was easier to opt for the single life. I have no regrets, like the song, I did it my way. I hope you two have lots more adventures together. Best wishes. ilona
It's such a pity the caravan was sold and not rented out. Maybe try to aquire the derelict house in Ireland to do up as a home base. You can then work 6 months in the summer season and travel in the winter around the hot countries. I certainly think putting a claim in for the inheritance of the property would be worth trying. To get an Irish passport would help with EU travel, too.
Irish passport pending hopefully
Awwww that’s so rubbish… I’d sell as she’s in top condition and start a fresh…it’s your job/home/life. Fingers crossed no matter what you do…you’re both able to find peace and happiness ❤
Really nice to get to hear about everything that came before your trips to India (which is how I started watching your channel) - I respect and agree with your point of view about life and freedom. Life is much too short to be stuck in some bloody office struggling to pay the bills with nothing to look forward to. Love how Liam's dad has gone over to India as well. Been using Surfshark for a couple of years now and definitely recommend it. I am wishing you the best of luck with Morgan and all that is going on with it, whatever you decide to do next, I am sure you will accomplish it.
We have been following you since FREDA and loved all your episodes, always leaving me with a smile on my face! I do hope you can carry on with more adventures! Good luck in making another important decision ❤❤
Thank you 🍀💕
Watching your journey has made me evaluate my life style and start of my van life adventure. Really hope you keep on rolling in Morgan and good luck to you both. 👍
Great to see a life recap. Followed you from your days in Freda and remember the Brussels sprouts incident. Also remember some of the challenges you had getting Morgan how you wanted him. So sorry about the double engine costs. Hope you get some back but if you don’t that’s just been one of life’s bumps in the road. Sounds like you’ve got a great garage to sort it this time and that all important warranty! Family things meant I didn’t get a chance to watch as much of your India travels but looking forward so much to your Morgan trips. Have the best life guys.
Thank you, yeah the current garage is amazing and trustworthy
Such inspiring real life stories. Have been following your travels quite some time. May God be with you in all your dreams. It's not just 'those' happy days...it's always happy days, the bright shining happy days yet to come to your lives.
Fingers crossed it all comes good for you both 🙏 ❤
I loved hearing the history of your journey together ❤️
I have so much respect for you guys. Watching the clips showing Janine crying made me cry! Its sad that you have been dealt these blows, but how you have dealt with everything is inspiring. We dont grow in comfort and ease, thats for sure. But, dear universe, this lovely couple have made enough lemonade so stop throwing them lemons! Enough already!
Been watching from the start and am rooting for you. Huge hug. Tracy 😊
Great recap, looking forward to hearing what your next life adventure will be, I’m sure you will make the right decision! ❤
Hi Guys welcome home. You seem to be in a good place mentally. I remember watching you in the Freda days. I noticed you often park in Seaford. It was once home for me too. I am gld that Morgan is in a good place and I hope you get the legals sorted. Look forward to seeing you in your next adventure.
That was a such a well-presented re-cap of your travelling lives in recent years (Professional A**). With India and Ireland as your spiritual homes now, I don't think you're going to get "lost''. You love Morgan, right ? Why wouldn't someone else with that 12 months warranty? Wouldn't it be great if you could get sponsorship from a reliable van manufacturer like Mercedes. Two RUclips traveller channels using a Sprinter immediately spring to mind: Snow & Curt who (with their two kitty cats) travelled Central and South America over 4 years and are now in the Balkans. They shared some very serious ups and downs in their travelling lives with us. Then there's Russ at RVr TV who, from his base in Arizona, has taken us all over The USA. I feel 100% sure that you as "people people" would always communicate exactly as you find, and that's pure gold for sponsors as well as viewers. But whatever you chose to do next, let me give you my heart-felt thanks for what you have shared so far.
It’s great seeing Pete helping those dogs at the non governmental animal sanctuary
We LOVE it 😀
I have loved your journey the ups and downs your happiness and tears together I’ve loved watching you both I’ve watched you through my pain being disabled you’ve both kept me going when I’ve been so low myself stay we’re ever you want your true subs will be right behind you lov you both ❤ 😊🇬🇧💯
Hellooo😊. Having watched your adventures for a couple of months I have just realised that I was nearly a neighbour at one time. I live in Peacehaven. Fantastic seeing local footage.
I would love to do what you have done. I have just given up work on January the 1st. I am 63 young and couldn't bear the thought of work , work, working anymore.
As you mentioned, Covid changed a lot of things for myself and many others , who like myself where working in the care sector at the time .
I just want to feel free to do what I want now as I realised life can be cut short at any time and "You only get one life".
I hope you both continue to be happy doing wonderful things and experiencing life to the full .
wow what an adventure!, wishing all the very best in your Van life
Really enjoyed looking back with you on how you started... so interesting 👌🥰. Wishing you all the best with your future endeavours and also with Morgan 🍀💖🤗😘
Lovely recap, thank you. What about restoring and living in the Ireland cottage and having a new little Frida for trips to Europe? Summers in Ireland and surrounds, winters in (southern) Europe. We will follow you whatever you decide! ❤
Sending you big hugs, thanks for everything so far 🫂 ❤
Thank you so much!
Hay fair play and respect for following your dreams, sending love and blessings to all 3 of you (the 3rd being Morgan)(in fact i spotted you had been to the brewers arms in West Malvern, and the Morgan factory is in Malvern.)
Life is supposed to be an adventure and you're both are certainly having a grand one and may it continue 😍😉
Glad it's worked out in the end...phewww.. Happy travels for you to come now. cheers
I forgot about the sprouts sandwiches fiasco! Been tuning in for a while and always enjoy your videos - it's fun to get to "travel" along with you both and Janine's editing is epic 😊 Wishing everything turns out in a positive way for you two ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Great content guys.
As a seasoned mechanic with more than 45 years experience I can safely say that you have been royally ripped off.
My buddy and I bought a lwb van for £1600, not dissimilar to yours (2008 model), with a wrecked engine (approximately 7 years ago). We bought a used engine from an Iveco Daily, having tested the engine first, for £450. Renewed no ancillaries, even the injectors didn't need programming to its' new home in our van. Renewed the timing belt assembly and oil and filter. We spent about £700 plus original van cost to sell a great looking, great running lwb high top van to a bloke in Birkenhead who converted it to a campervan. Even accounting for not "charging " ourselves a labour content; £18k is mental for two engines😐
So sorry that you have been shafted by the trade😢
I wish you every success in Morgan.
Love and peace.
It seems that on both occasions when your engine blew, the warning lights weren't _"warning"_ lights at all. Instead they were _"too late, the engine's already fkd up"_ lights! 🤨
Your cold Christmas dinner was the very first vlog and I watched and boom, I was hooked!
Let’s hope for you both that ‘the future is bright’ 🤞🏻
I look forward to seeing how things go, sitting in a 88 reg Talbot Pilote camper while I write this in Portugal, we’ve been in it for 2 years give or take, but go back to Hastings as well
It can be tough after a while, but it’s tricky to find a better(?) option, I’m sure you’ll come up with a good idea that suits you both ❤❤❤❤
Better weather is on its way too
Gods grace surrounds everything anyway….
So true thank you 🙏🍀
Went to McDonald’s next to Warwick Tesco 2/3 days ago maybe and on exit spotted Morgan in the corner was about 9pm so didn’t disturb but made me smile seeing the Van 🤙😆
I love fact that your 100% committed to each other.i came across you both when you got morgan
i was born in Brighton its a lovely place in the summer but very wet and windy what ever you decided to do keep your self safe travelling looks fun and as you say seeing how things have changed in your own country you can see why people years ago liked traveling and the freedom of the road i think we for get we all have a disire to live free lifes and not shackled to one place
It can get very windy can't it! Thank you for the kind words 🍀🙏
What an absolute nightmare and incredible journey you've both been on! Hopefully the future is bright now and there are no more crazy surprises for you both. We hope to catch you on the road when our van is complete too, It'll be good to catch up! 💚🚐
