I had years driving lorries and always liked to see young lads with their cars just having a laugh . They never caused me any worry at all and to be honest while they were cruising around the thieves knew they were being watched which made me in turn feel a lot easier and sleep a lot better . Live and let live I reckon .
Cook the chicken first as it takes longer to cook than veg, then stir in some of the powder, then add your veg and the rest of the powder and give it a good stir. Your veg will cook pretty quickly after that. If you dont like a lot of sauce driping out of your wraps (I don't) then drain the chicken before adding the powder and veg....bon appetit!👍
4th gear crunching is a very common issue on these vans. Have you ever changed the gearbox oil? Unfortunately it’s the synchromesh and will eventually need a new gearbox. You can nurse it along by a slow change, or by double declutching on the gear shift. Press clutch into neutral, let up and repress clutch into 4th.
Great video, Will! Sometimes the worst-rated spots turn out to be hidden gems. Glad the parkup wasn’t as bad as expected, but the El Paso fajita mix incident made me chuckle! 😂 That hoody will forever have a story attached to it now!
@@HazelBrookes That's a good point! Weather can definitely change the vibe of a place. I guess it's all about timing and luck when it comes to these parkups. Hopefully, Will's next stop is just as peaceful-rain or shine!
Negative reviews on park4night are generally locals who join and leave bad reviews. One near us, someone put a brick through the van windscreen (allegedly)
Just check if the carpet on the above panel interferes at all with the door seal on the side door. Door seals don't like any contamination at all no matter how slight. If the door shuts tight against the carpet above I advise cutting back the carpet till it's clear of the rubber seal altogether. That would be my first check. Enjoyed the video. 👍👍👍
Hi Will, it’s so good to see you, that’s not a bad park up. The foxes will give you company. Nice quite night, beautiful scenery in the morning. Thank you Will and take care 👍👍👍🤟🏼👋👋🥰🥰
I’ve got a MWB Ducato & had the exact same issue with the sliding door leaking. Couldn’t work out why, but ended up putting a length of U guttering (made of white silicone) above the door. This carries any water run off from the roof away from the door. Solved the problem 👍🏻😊
Will I love you and your channel so much. But one thing has always bothered me you are one of the few van lifers that never back in! So glad you are evolving 😂 keep up the great work! You are a true inspiration to more than I think you realize!
You can get an IDP in person from certain shops that have PayPoint. I am sure the IDA may add some value but ... An IDP costs £5.50. You must: - live in Great Britain or Northern Ireland - have a full UK driving licence - be 18 or over Great vlog though. 🙂
Knew straight away what you were cooking...love how you stroked the fajita packet ..😅..i miss these type of old videos that you used to good...pleased to watch this one ❤
Hi Will, glad to see you back out and about!! Watching the vid with the wife again. Noticed you mention the gearbox problem. You mentioned "re-syncronised". It's called the synchro mesh! It's a donut shaped concentric ring that travels up and down ax shaft via something called a dog! The dogs lock and move the ring up and down the shaft to select the gear. It's probably cheaper to get a used gearbox than have it fixed unless you know a man who knows a man!
Apparently Boxers and similar are renowned for leaking side doors. I’ve heard sticking some tile trim above the door on the outside helps. Lots of YT videos available about it. Going to try with mine so will let you know how I get on
It's a gravel parking lot....mmmmm, I wonder if the reviewer just didn't have a rock skip up from one the tires and thought somebody had thrown a rock at his van! Another great video Will, keep up the good work!
Concerning your leak I once owned a citroen relay van exactly the same as your Fiat, and I believe it's a common fault where the door seals fail and also the drip ledge around the roof of the van has a sealant around which can crack with age and fail. This may not be the issue but worth checking, and both went on mine👍🏻
thanks for the great video. I think that you're supposed to add a bit of water to the pan when you add the seasoning mix. also, sour cream and guacamole are fire with fajitas!
Stay safe in Albania! I walked past you on your scooter in Sarande, didn’t recognise you with a helmet on but you had a go pro in your mouth and you saw me staring at you and laughed lol have fun 😊
Ive recently bought a vw crafter and starting to use it it also is a bit dodgy going into 4th gear look forward to what people tell you enjoy your content mate live in a truck all week house for washing then van on the weekend at the moment all on wheels
Headly Heath is only a short skip and a jump from My English Hometown, the Village of Ashtead, which I last saw in 1967 when My Parents dragged Me (then 11) kicking and screaming to South Australia.
Hey will.. I just wanted to say how jealous i am of the freedom you have when you're out about on you're road trips with mary. I've been following on your journey including the recent upgrades. And how the simple things you achieve make you so proud and so you should. Lol. I'm currently staying with family as I lost my home in covid and van life has been something I think about all the time. But it's money, time and knowledge that goes against me. If you ever considered parting with mary... pls come to swansea and find me. Nor only woold it be an adventure for me it would also be a Home. Stay Safe and keep smiling x x
Brilliant video, love that and your El Paso Fajita`s. I do wonder if people leave those kind of negative reviews so other people don`t park there and then they have the parkup all to themselves.
Great vlog as always Will.. but please cook your chicken first, as others have said... but mainly if your going to put cheese in, then PUT some cheese in! Not just 3 strands 😂😂
leaked water in the same place on our Ducato and it came from the joint on the roof where two plates were joined together. Sealed both sides of our van and the leak was gone.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Will way to go! I would like to see more park overnight ratings. May I suggest an adult bib so you can catch the run away food😂. Have a great day!
That leak is probably from the roof, there is a join in the body, the seam sealer cracks on roof channel (with the roof rack studs) where the joint is, it you see hairline cracks u need to scrape it off 'til you hit the orange foam below it, dry and replace with body seamsealer/adhesive. You'll know also if it comes off easily by scraping with plastic tool. Just done mine, a 2014, was dripping from same spot, it's deceiving because the seam is about a foot away from where it drips down above the sliding door, thought it was the door seal or lack or rain gutter gutter at first but no, used dye to trace it, best of luck.
Well done brave boy. Any very low review of anything tends to show the person was unlucky...I only take reviews of anything into account once it has at least 100 reviews. On the matter of syncing in Mary's gearbix. Get the oil level checked first before going it into the garage if the grunge is still there.
The donuts will probably go to the other car park about quarter of a mile up the road by the cricket club as it’s a much bigger one. I used to drive past the car park you used every day going to work and you’d always see one or two van lifers in there. and Will, come on man, you gotta go back to Box Hill, preferably on a Friday or Saturday night, and see if that wild animal is still there. Nice transition from Somers Road to Morrisons, I thought it was only us locals who knew about that portal lol
I can’t tell, but there used to be a food vendor on Headley that was very popular .. wonder if that park up is where they used to be based. Was semi permanent, as in it was an old caravan but was never moved.
Love your stealth videos, could the leak be your max air and the water is running to the door and to the window simultaneously? Just seemed odd you have water both sides at similar spots xx
not if its only on one gear (4th in this case). Its worn synchromesh. Easy to live with and you can pretty much avoid the crunch by learning to double declutch, this is basically rev matching within the gearbox. Bring the clutch up while in neutral between the gears, then down again to select 4th, and when changing down from 5th (or 6th if Mary has 6) then give a little rev while in neutral.
First thought was that the CCTV Camera sign was there to dissuade the sports car people. Also, try to pick a park up that has 2 or 3 bad reviews instead of just one.
I live not to far from the woodmansterne park up very nice area but unfortunately a couple travler sites around that ruin the area and they dump tons of rubbish in the car park
Check out Cowdray Forest near Crawley! Me and my partner have stayed there a couple of times (due to it being close to a previous workplace) and we tend to have some sort of mischief happening around us! From your local boy racers to your dirty do**ers with plenty of noise to keep you entertained aha!

Not everyone has the same experience…it seemed to be a rainy time so boy racers probably stayed home.

Defintly want see more dogging spott videos, your reaction in others is priceless lol
Negative reviews on park4night are generally locals who join and leave bad reviews. One near us, someone put a brick through the van windscreen (allegedly)
And councils, the anti-van-life councils are rife!
Just watched the loneliest job video
I fully respect this guy
Proper honest geezer no messin
Try changing the gear oil, might be worn synchros, rev matching during gear changes will help, it could last for years and be fine.
Just check if the carpet on the above panel interferes at all with the door seal on the side door. Door seals don't like any contamination at all no matter how slight. If the door shuts tight against the carpet above I advise cutting back the carpet till it's clear of the rubber seal altogether. That would be my first check. Enjoyed the video. 👍👍👍
Pro Tip - Aldi's Fajita mix is about a third of the price of Old El Paso and just as good. Well, it is round here - I'm down in Straya
Hi Will, it’s so good to see you, that’s not a bad park up. The foxes will give you company. Nice quite night, beautiful scenery in the morning. Thank you Will and take care 👍👍👍🤟🏼👋👋🥰🥰

That park up looked really nice.
Maybe you wear a bib when you’re eating 😂😉👍👍

Please, put the Chicken into the pan first, and then the veg. You are missing out alot of flavor.

@@MrBotwood I thought exactly the same thing 😉👍
Great video! I also have a MWB Ducato with a crunchy 4th gear so I’m interested to see what you do 😊
Great video will you definitely took a chance, and got lucky as the weather was no good they stayed home that night,

I'm juts a simple guy who loves the chicken, veg and seasoning that's all 🤣
Great video Will, good to see you out in Mary again. Unfortunately, all old vehicles get to the stage when they need money spent on them.
Only found this channel last week will your hilarious 😂😂😂
Stay safe in Albania! I walked past you on your scooter in Sarande, didn’t recognise you with a helmet on but you had a go pro in your mouth and you saw me staring at you and laughed lol have fun 😊
Good timing! Just watched Hammock video! 😁
Your videos make me happy 🙂
In my youth lived near Headley Heath. Used to always be a lovely spot to go tho never went at night. Great vlog indeed. Best wishes
Ive recently bought a vw crafter and starting to use it it also is a bit dodgy going into 4th gear look forward to what people tell you enjoy your content mate live in a truck all week house for washing then van on the weekend at the moment all on wheels
Absolutely brilliant idea Will. Dodgy park ups .Vanlifers would really appreciate your test on these park ups but stay safe maybe bring a friend ❤
I'm definitely keen to check out a few more 👊
100% the same about the weather, pissing it down keeps the yobs away too 🎉
Me, you, Mary and Fajitas!! Love it!❤ Yes, we need to find some dodgy spots! Or some place haunted 👻. Great video, Will!!❤
Haunted would be good! 👊
Headly Heath is only a short skip and a jump from My English Hometown, the Village of Ashtead, which I last saw in 1967 when My Parents dragged Me (then 11) kicking and screaming to South Australia.
Enjoyed that will,cheers....Best wishes from Wales 🏴
We like Onion and garlic or Nacho cheese dip spread on the wraps before we add the filling.

Thanks for watching Becky 👊 Really glad you enjoy the videos, wishing you lots of luck
Should add the El Pasos salsa to it along with some sour cream
Great vlog Will! Love the park-up episodes.
Thanks so much!
Brilliant video, love that and your El Paso Fajita`s. I do wonder if people leave those kind of negative reviews so other people don`t park there and then they have the parkup all to themselves.
Hubby just said the same!
If you put some silicon sealant on the inside of the sliding door seal it will stay where it's meant to instead of falling off
Great vlog as always Will.. but please cook your chicken first, as others have said... but mainly if your going to put cheese in, then PUT some cheese in! Not just 3 strands 😂😂
leaked water in the same place on our Ducato and it came from the joint on the roof where two plates were joined together. Sealed both sides of our van and the leak was gone.
Awesome cheers for that 👊
4th gear crunch is from your hand resting on the gear selector whilst driving its a common fault, the gate wears down with the vibration over time,
Use CT1 Sealent round the window, it will never leak again
Mary and the fajitas! There is your band name! Solid. 😂❤🎉
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Will way to go! I would like to see more park overnight ratings. May I suggest an adult bib so you can catch the run away food😂. Have a great day!
haha I may need one of those
@@WillsWhereabouts 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bib or portable washer
Love the stealth video again,just like old times !!!
Felt good to be out 👊
Video number 7ish of saying WARM. YOUR. WRAPS. FIRST Will

Yo that cloud looks like a seahorse. Mad that Init.
Add some chopped red pepper and swap the el paso for kung po sauce and you would truly go up to another level.
Delicioso
Will the Fajita man is back for another awesome video I enjoyed it I can wate for the next.
'The Fajita Man' I love that!

is this the one by Headley Court?
I can’t tell, but there used to be a food vendor on Headley that was very popular .. wonder if that park up is where they used to be based.
Was semi permanent, as in it was an old caravan but was never moved.
Nice feel good video will
Brilliant, I’m cooking fajitas whilst watching you cook fajitas! 😂
You should wrap your van with a army camouflage would blend in the woods very selfie just a thought will?.
Will have you seen trovata 59k why don't you modify your van like that it looks beautiful from inside.
I did think you was off your head will.... but good chilled video 😂
Asda do a great fajita saice,for 99p!keep the content coming big feller!
Love your stealth videos, could the leak be your max air and the water is running to the door and to the window simultaneously? Just seemed odd you have water both sides at similar spots xx

I had a leak last year by my sliding door it was coming from the panel joins on the roof I just put sikka flex over it and it has sorted the problem.
Brave choise, nice calm video
Great to relax a bit🙌
YOU'VE MADE IT IN THE SUN NEWS. 😅
First thought was that the CCTV Camera sign was there to dissuade the sports car people. Also, try to pick a park up that has 2 or 3 bad reviews instead of just one.
you'd need to be sponsored by General Mills....I worked for them in Sydney & we made nearly all of the El Paso seasonings, wraps, etc
Trying my best! Who can I get in touch with??
Change the gearbox oil that helped on my honda civic
Need more videos on the transit 😊
Stay tuned 👊
Aah classic fajitas, its been a while 😂
haha hasn't it
I mess my jumper up every time too when eating but always on the last mouth full.
I work 4 on 4 off and stumbled across will I’m on my last day off and watch sod all
Other than these videos - wife’s not happy
Hope you leave a review
Fair play to choosing that dodgy rated park up. I wouldn’t have had the guts haha! And you survived, unscathed.
Disappointingly unscathed!
Looks like a good park up awesome video as always 😊👍
Thank you 🤗
@@WillsWhereabouts I’m looking to get a van like yours
I live not to far from the woodmansterne park up very nice area but unfortunately a couple travler sites around that ruin the area and they dump tons of rubbish in the car park
That’s the Morrisons in Reigate ! 😂
Watch out for the werewolves in the moors
Locals sometimes leave bad reviews on app to put ppl off parking. It’s funny that they only comment on park ups by them 😂
Thankyou
The Silk Road is a fake profile, they apparently encounter problems everywhere, funny that.
The side door leaks because you need to add a little over hang above the actual side door same thing happened to my Citroen relay that im converting.
As soon as I seen the red pepper I knew what was coming next 🤣
5:13 I know that Morrisons 😊
Yeah those wraps need creme fraiche man!
Thank goodness no idiots threw any rocks!

Review from 2021!!!
Chicken fajitas? Happy days are here again - it’s just like the good old days! More dodgy park ups might be interesting. 😂
Everyone has missed the fajitas
Even the seatbelt is going this is a bad idea 😂
