United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

Off to Knaresborough in a few weeks for a week, have been to Castleton (Peak District) in December but got a bit scary when it snowed as its in a valley all up hill out. Also the water barrel froze so had to defrost. Not a problem with this van I have now as it has an on board water tank Freelander 2 TD4 GS 2011 Manual Satorini Black (Current)

None on the estate we live on either. The local council actively enforce planning restrictions, and we are only allowed the caravan on the drive for 28 days a year, for loading/unloading and cleaning!

We are off on Thursday to a C/L in north Kent for ten days. 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

Missed the start of this thread as I was away - in the caravan! Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

At home. We have a hookup point installed which is useful for maintaining the battery and chilling the fridge before trips etc.


There are 4 caravans in our little close... happily all in good order.

We always had ours in store at a storage compound, but now we have moved into my parents house after loosing my Dad and Mum going into care with advanced alzheimer's we have a lot of room to keep it at home, had some big locked gates made and it's behind them all safe and sound and saving a lot in storage charges.

Ours is all drained down and wrapped up for winter now. We keep it a storage facility so just pop in once a month to change the moisture traps and make sure its all OK.

Drained down the water in the van and tried to remove the inboard filter, supposed to be a quick release fitting but I could not move it , ended up cutting the hose
Has anyone removed the filter permanently and replaced with straight through pipe?

If yours is the replaceable in line charcoal filter, the connections are easily separated by depressing the end collars before applying any 'pull' 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)
