Nightmare on a Scottish Island: Van Life Gone Wrong
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ค. 2024
- Our first ever Scottish Island has not gone to plan! Our van has been giving us serious problems as we arrive on Arran Island, combined with a failed hike up the mountain of Goatfell, some pretty rubbish weather and a rogue drone, it's just been one of those weeks!

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But now we are back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and have now made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three month Japanese Adventure and are now back in Martha ready for some more European Adventures.

You need to put a 60 second compilation of Keeley laugh a real witches brew 😂
🤣🤣🤣 cackle cackle 😜
I'll second that motion ....gets boring after a while ...just a good old plain laugh will suffice ❤...had to turn it off when you got to the island. 😢
That laugh is so infectious! - I might have it as my ringtone 🤣🤣🤣
Keely's laugh is one of the best infectious laughs! Can't help but join in when I hear it! 😁😁
Re "smelling your engine" YES! My exhusband actually used to taste the engine oil (on the tip of his tongue - NO DRINKING!) :-)
That man was a freakin' genius! He could fix ANYTHING!
🤣 so Philly isn't alone then haha
You two sure have your ups and downs with experiences. I like it that you don’t shy away from sharing
Gotta be authentic ❤️
Congratulations on the first Scottish swim! Keely you did great on the hike. I am really enjoying your trip videos. Praying for your van.
Thanks so much Carol!! Hopefully many more less icy swims haha
Still amazes me you don't yet have 100K subscribers 😇
Thanks so much Wagner 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely loons, good luck.
Thankyou 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your great entertainment 😊
Thanks Natasha 🥰🥰
Totally love your posts- I so look forward to them each week!!! Scotland looks rugged and amazingly gorgeous and is on my bucket list for sure- wishing you the happiest of adventures!!! ❤
Thanks so much Raven! So kind of you to say, it really is so rugged here we are loving it 🥰🥰
I am ill with a bad ear and was feeling pretty miserable but youse have cheered me up. Thank you!
Glad we brought a little cheer into your day Jayne 🥰🥰🥰 get well soon x
Well done you two! Weather not on your side for goat fell x
David and Sharon neighbours from night before
Aww Hey guys! Thanks so much 🥰🥰
Awesome! Love it 💚
Thanks Jeremy 🥰
Coming down the mountains - get a Zorb. GET A ZORB! Inflate it using that battery pack, then just trundle back down with no fall risks at all....😁
That sounds like a recipe for very entertaining disaster haha
@@phillyandkeely The seed is sown, my job here is done, and I look forward to the videos of it...😁
Keeley...I think you did so well to get as far up that mountain as you did. As for never regretting a swim; your words were ringing in my ears when I went swimming at Rosses Point Beach, County Sligo today, and it was fantastic. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging me to do it, because I felt so good afterwards.....even in the rain. I hope you get Martha sorted out asap. Safe travels lovely people xx
That makes me so happy to hear about going for a swim, it really really does feel so good, like it's just good for the soul isn't it!! So grateful to be able to have encouraged you to do that ❤️❤️ sending lots of love
Brilliant guys and hope the van is better? Dave
Thanks Dave, she's not better, but shes not worse, so that's something 🤣🤣
Hope Martha is ok guys. Keeley, I’m exactly like you are with hikes and climbing mountains- I feel like I’m watching myself 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 kindred spirits lmao
You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures😊
Thanks for joining us on our adventures 🥰🥰🥰
Congrats on going for a dook in our waters, it's always for the best. Shudering Martha could be a fuel blockage? Fuel filters etc? hopefully not the diesel pump breaking down. Ben Nevis isn't too difficult going up, it's the coming down that's a killer.
Yeah sounds fuel related doesn't it. Will have a look at filters this week. Good to know about Ben Nevis and yes cold water is always for the best 🥰🥰
Oh to hell with it I’m going to watch it again 😎
🤣🤣🤣 thanks Richie
I only understand about half of what either of you say.. but it's all so incredibly charming that I'm game!
🤣🤣🤣 yeah we've heard our accents are a bit fast sometimes haha, appreciate you trying to understand us lol
@@phillyandkeely you are adorable. I would want a small van. like a minivan to travel in Ireland and Scotland. for a year or three
Love you guys…
Thanks Paul 🥰🥰🥰
You didn't fail as you tried walking up the mountain. Keely you make me laugh so much your laugh is infectious . Both of you are so funny but keely with your love of food makes me smile . Dont ever change you are so funny and lovely . Xx
Aww thanks so much Tracey 🥰🥰 what kind words, so appreciated ❤️
Good decision to turn around,rocks and soil turn into slippery mud,with head banging rocks on trail.I think the other people walking on beach said " hmmm they must be from another country,no townie would go in for another month " Your senses of humor overcome all troubles bit by bit Good luck with the van repair !Safe journeys
V3ry true about the beach haha
Awe really really enjoyed this video. So so funny Keely's laugh is so infectious. I am just so sorry that you are having trouble with the van. Hopefully nothing serious. Love hearing the craic with you two you make a great double act. 😂❤❤💚
Thanks so much Veronica 🥰🥰
hope Martha is ok
So do we 🙏🙏 let's see how she goes this week 🤞🤞
If you plan to come to Lewis & Harris get in touch, can recommend lots of cool stuff. Watch you every Sunday and it would make my wife's year to meet yous.
Awww thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰 if we do we will ❤️❤️❤️ still debating which islands to do due to cost of boats, we are considering doing some cycle camping if it saves us money on putting van on the ferry haha. Cheapos here lmao.
@@phillyandkeely that's quite common here the cycle touring. Folk even sneak their bikes onto the busses when they bail due to the weather. Whatever you do I am sure it will be awesome.
Pray the van gets fixed. Love Scotland. Glen
Thanks so much Glen, so do we 🙏
Oh my goodness, you both make me laugh out loud, I'm especially liking your Scotland tour as I'm from Scotland and no longer live there 😢
So glad you are enjoying our scotland series, its one of our favourite places!
Great decision to turn round, the mountain will always be there to climb another day 👍👍
Thanks Tony ⛰️
I just found your channel yesterday! You two are absolutely the cutest couple... I know this was a video from 10 months ago, but I must admit - I'm worried about your van! And, yes Keely... the first thing you do when you lift a hood is take a good whiff to make sure nothing is burning, melting, etc,! My Daddy taught me that a long, long, time ago. I am looking forward to seeing that you got down the road Okay. 😊
Thanks so much Lynn ❤️❤️ so glad you found our channel!! Martha loves to misbehave 🤣
I love swings, so much fun. 😊xx
Aren't they!!!
Hey GUYS! Nick Williamson’s wife here! We briefly met whilst you were over in NI.
Been catching up on your videos the last few days and back to being completely OBSESSED with yous 😂 think I managed to keep my cool just enough to hide my inner fangirl 🤩🤭 Scotland looks class, hope and pray 🙏 Martha is okay (that rhymes👏)
CHALLENGE: Philly needs to purchase a kilt! (And wear it traditionally 😜)
Love from some of your Reedstar fam
Nick and Dom xx
Awwww thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰 what a lovely and entertaining comment haha! I vote yes to the kilt! He's got some sexy legs on him! Lots of love back to you and Nick and Dunphy ❤️❤️❤️
“I can’t feel my brain!” Best line ever!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another brilliant video guys ❤️❤️🚐🚐 xx
Thankyou 🥰🥰
Brilliant you 2, have a great week x
Thanks Lorraine 🥰🥰
just found out about you guys here on YT, you guys are hilarious ! guess i'll have tyo watch all your video's now :P
Glad you found us 🥰🥰 that's a lot of videos to watch 🤣🤣 thanks for your kind words ❤️❤️
Love you two! Sending van healing vibes.
Thankyou Debbie!!! 🙏🙏
Happy Sunday
Love the caption of your adventures to scottish island
Thanks so much Charlene 🥰🥰
So much fun! You guys are the best! I'm off to find the vegan sushi. Really hope Martha doesn't give you any more trouble. Looking forward to seeing you soon; go well. XX
Thanks so much Heather 🥰🥰 fingers crossed she sorts herself out this week!
Wonderful as always guys, big loves from Australia
Thanks so much! Big love back to Australia 🥰🥰
Hi guys, your little plant that is in flower is one of the Aloe family, commonly known as a dragon Plant. Make the most of the flower as you wont see it flower again for SEVEN years. I gave my freind one 15 years ago and it flowered for the second time this Spring. Love your videos, keep smiling.
Wow seven years!!! I feel so blessed to have the flower now 🥰🥰 it would be a miracle if I managed to keep this plant alive for another 7 years
@@phillyandkeely They are pretty hardy, I keep forgetting to water mine, but she very forgiving. All the best to you both. 🥰💜💜
Hopefully Martha is ok or small fix but island of Arron looks great shame the weather beat you but the wild swimming looked good 👏👏👏👏👍👍
Thanks so much Andrew, fingers crossed she sorts herself out. Wild swimming was so good 🥰🥰
You guys are a breath of fresh air , you make me laugh so much. Many thanks
Thanks so much Neville 🥰🥰 so glad to hear we've made you laugh
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻yeehaw a new video
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lovely fun video and ye did the right thing re climbing the mountain. Lovely to see ye going in for a swim, have fun
Thanks so much Annie 🥰🥰 glad to hear you think we did the sensible thing on the mountain, we have a bad track record for safety ahha.
hah loved the video hope you got your pint after the hike cant wait for next week
He was going to get a pint, but it was very expensive so we went to Asda and bought a bottle instead haha 🤣🤣 cheapos lmao
Hi guys. Omg love ur vids, I just ye a few days ago. We have a camper as well that we bought around 6 year ago. Hubby is renovating it at the mo as I just had a spinal op. So in bed watching ye. So happy I found ye. Ye are so happy and funny. Can't wait to be back out again in ours. We use ours alot. We head away most weekends of the year. Can ye say here to me in a vid, it would make my day. Travel safe guys.
Debbie from Midleton Co.Cork
Thanks so much Debbie
Woh I felt that water's temperature as you dived in ! I hope the van is ok guys ❤🚐
Thanks so much 🙏 will be interesting to see how the van goes this week. Went numb after a while in that water 🤣
Yet another bloomin lovely video. We officially adopted your mantra when we moved into our van and have still not regretted a swim! And of course you'll crack Ben Nevis 💪
Love to hear that!! You really never regret them! ❤️❤️ Thanks for your encouragement on Ben Nevis
Well done for smashing the hike guys, even though you didn't make it to the top that was still a mission you went on 🥳 we did the same in Scotland the weather turned & had to turn back. And how cold is Scottish waters 😱😱 unreal but super addictive. Enjoy 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳
Yeah the weather turns so quick! Absolutely Baltic, but feels awesome
Cracking video yountwo,great fun had, ah sure going up mountains os always hard, coming down is so much better. Hope Martha is ok. Waters have got very cold recently, prior it was like bath water. Well done on getting down and not chickening out. Thanks for a great share.
Thanks so much Lorraine 🥰🥰 fingers crossed Martha sorts herself out this week
Never regret a swim!!!! Love you guys! Hope you’re having fun in the Highlands and that Martha is behaving. Inverness is one of my favorite places. ❤
Thanks so much Patti 🥰🥰
Omg you two are good for a laugh, that water looked cold, great job guys love you both, love from your Aussie friend
Thanks so much Donna 🥰🥰 I'm really hoping we come out to Australia later this year 🤞🤞
21:36 I love it when your in a mood keely 😂 I can relate trust me
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great vlog I don't stay that far from Arran hope you get your van fixed
Thanks so much Alex, we hope she fixes herself, praying it was just some dirty fuel, will see how things go this week.
Keely I feel for you (hiking) you did well ..I just came back from hiking the Tobermory Grotto (Ontario Canada) i was totally exhausted
Thankyou! Good on you hiking Tobermory Grotto! Thanks for watching :)
hello guys welcome to Scotland 🎉🎉 enjoy the beauty . I love that laugh 🤣🥰 never change x
Thanks so much Katy 🥰🥰 loving it so far ❤️
Good such a beautiful place it reminds me of Ireland ❤I didn’t know Scotland had all them irelands 😱 I really need to explore more 🍀
Nice bumping into you guys. ❤️
Thanks so much Bono! Was lovely to meet you too 🥰 and thanks for the coffee ☕
😂👍🏼❤️
We walked it with my son that has steel rods in his spine and a daschund, everyone cheered the teeny dog making it to the top, but you definitely made the right decision, we had no views at the top and it was a race to get off cos mountain rescue might have had to be called, enjoy the rest of your trip, really miss Arran though xx
Wow well done to your son and the little tiny daschund ❤️❤️ they are both fitter than me haha, but I will hopefully get a little bit stronger with each mountain I climb 💪💪 Thanks for watching Lisa 🥰🥰
So lovely to see you guys ,I hope you manage to get Martha looked at and it’s nothing serious.See you next week, counting down the days already xxx
Thanks so much Penny 🥰🥰
@@phillyandkeely ❤️❤️❤️
You both put a big smile on our faces 😊
I love wild swimming but that sea looked Baltic!!!! Brrrr 🥶
Love your videos guys. There’s so much spectacular scenery in Scotland. Enjoy 😉
Thanks so much Dawne it really was Baltic hahaha
thanks guys. I enjoyed. Being honest I am laughing at calling that a mountain. Still good on ya.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I mean it's not like the mountains we climbed in the Andes haha, but my fitness is incomparable to back then lmao, I got a lot of work to do!
I laughed the whole way through you two are a hoot thanks so much🥰😁😁😁
Thanks so much Veronica 🥰🥰
You both make my Sundays, I never laugh so much in my life. You are the best couple on You Tube. Oh and Thanks for my stickers. If I had to choose one You Tube channel to watch it would so be yours so entertaining. 😂😂😂
Awww thanks so much 🥰🥰 so glad you got your stickers. So nice to hear we give you some laughs on a Sunday ☺️☺️
even though it looked tough getting up that hill, you are fitter than me!! good luck with Ben Nevis, thats an epic trudge, hope your van is ok
Think I need some more practice before taking on Ben Nevis haha
Oh yes, and lots of sandwiches😃
Awww man def get a good sniff see if it’s burning clutch or plastic or oily
He's very grateful that you have validated his sniffing 🤣🤣
Hi ya Philly and Keely always look on the safety side , water 💦 is about 20Deg C currently in Sthn Qld but just imagine how would be later in the year. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤩🌟🩷
That sounds like a beautiful temperature of water, really really hope we can get out later this year, it will be incredible 🥰🥰
Yep, you guys are deffo Mimi's and my "drive around & eat food" channels! 😁😁
Oh, Martha Dearheart, please tell us what you need! 😫 So stressful to travel with engine troubles, but doubly so when you don't know what it is specifically. I'm with Philly on engine smells!
Some good shouts in this one: finding the drone, turning back for the weather, a beer with your name on it. ❤️❤️✌️😎xx
Thanks Aaron 🥰🥰 sending love to you and Mimi ❤️
Not sure if someone else has let you know but the tiny island you saw on the way to arran is ‘ailsa Craig’ know for its granite which is used to make Olympic curling stones.
That's so cool, olympic curling stones, fun fact!
It's also a volcanic plug 😂 I see it on my drive to work and it's always different depending on the weather and sea. Can't wait to see where else you go in Scotland. I live in Glasgow
@@thetoritree7865 thanks so much 🥰🥰 we are looking forward to exploring more ☺️☺️
I’m waiting for the Ben Nevis video 🙌
🤣🤣 give me a few weeks to train up lmao
Keely will do Ben Nevis I 'm confident! Nice to see your succulent in flower, I have one the exact same, just came into flower from nowhere! Unfortunately my cat took a liking to it, and chomped the flower off just as it was about to bloom. Xx
🤣🤣 cats are wee rascals aren't they haha
Oh no I hope Martha is ok. Love your go with the flow attitude. I’d have been wound up with the Martha problems and aborted the hike immediately. You are doing Scotland properly, never occurred to me to visit Arran. Skye is also good and there is a bridge to get to it for free. I’m challenging you to another climb - Stac Pollaidh. It’s not as long as Ben Nevis but the view is amazing. Might be a good trainer for Keely! So many laughs in this video, really enjoy seeing you every Sunday.
Ok Stac Pollaidh is on the list to do now!! Thanks so much PB, Martha is still being a mare, but will see how she goes this week.
welcome to Scotland!
Thanks MartyBoy 🥰🥰 we love it here so far 💪
@@phillyandkeely if you're looking for a swimming dip (or dook as it's known here,) head to the (yes, it's true) Fannyside Loch north of Glasgow.
Worth the trip alone to see the sign
@@Martyboy_Glasgow 🤣🤣🤣 great name lmao
@@phillyandkeely who doesn't want to get in touch with their Fannyside? (Actually it's true. Please do Google it,)
You did well to find the place you started off at, it’s about 2 miles from my house and very tucked away!
So close!! Coulda got a coffee on lol
@@phillyandkeely yep, also coulda pointed you towards a decent mechanic- still could if you’re nearby?
@@its_marc we are back on the mainland now, I was kinda hoping she will figure herself out if we just ignore it, but not going well so far as she died two more times today 🤣🤣
@@phillyandkeely yes I meant on the mainland, I live by the loch with the whiskey bonds by it that you started the video at. If you’re nearby give me a shout and I’ll point you towards a decent mechanic I’ve used for my own similar sized van. - I’m not affiliated in any way just happened to spot you were near and maybe needing help.
Martha needs to be on better behavior. I hope she fixes herself or it’s a quick and non expensive fix. See ya next week. Be safe and much love 💕
Yeah she needs to sort herself out 🤣 thanks so much for the love 🥰🥰
Great video guys….. shame about the weather. Are you going to explore the Isle of Bute on your Scottish travels ?
Thankyou 🥰🥰 not on this trip, but I reckon we will be back to hit up more islands next time
You did right turning back on Goat Fell you would have seen nothing at the top.
I hope you get the van sorted out, let me know if you need mechanic recommendations.
Thanks so much Dave, we will let you know if she keeps being a nightmare and we need mechanic 💪
Keely you are such a trooper doing hikes and stuff Philly wants to do. I think you find you are capable of more than you think you are. Philly is good for you. He helps you push through your head and experience new things. Ok so hikes aren’t new but it’s in a new place 😂. Pooor Martha! Hopefully by now you’ve figured out what is wrong and it wasn’t expensive. Seriously after all you did to prepare for this trip and one week in she’s acting up. Maybe just look at her like a sick child. You wouldn’t be mad at a child for getting sick. Safe travels from your bestie in Southern California
💛🌴
🙏🏼 (for Martha)
Yeah maybe I need to be a bit more sympathetic to Martha haha. Thanks Carina 🥰🥰 thanks for encouraging me and Philly ❤️
@@phillyandkeely I got you from 5,000 miles away 😉
Ailsa Craig. The island that you kept showing out at sea. Can be seen from where my Irish ancestors lived, when they moved to Scotland in the late 1800's.
Visiting the Scottish islands, still on my bucket list of places to visit in Scotland, Ben Nevis. you need to be fit to climb that mountain, i do not think
i could do it now and a few youtubers have tried and failed.
Good luck and stay safe
Yeah I need to do some training in advance of Ben Nevis lol
I live on the Isle of Bute! we can see Arran really well from here :) dun if u came to Bute yet cos catching up.... yay for coming to Scotland tho 🏴❤
Thanks Kenzie, we are loving Scotland 🥰🥰 So wild!
@@phillyandkeely ah so let me know if you decide to go to ialw of bute i can show u round! 👏😍🏴 ww r scotlands most acaessable island :)
Love ❤
❤️❤️
Hiya again, we really need to stop meeting like this 😂.
Firstly. Yet another fab video, if you only knew how much I look forward to Sundays 😂. And you were a minute early 🎉.
Seriously now..i really hope and pray that you get to the bottom of whatever miss sassy pants Martha is up to. She's not being fair 😕.
Do i think Keely will conquer Ben Nevis? Hell yes, especially fuelled by vegan sushi 😂. The food of every sherpa 😂 I've seen them eating it on everest, honestly.
I've been on Arran in 2016. It was only a weekend unfortunately. Didn't do much exploring. Just have to go back 👍🏻.
Nice seeing you back in the water and getting your vitamin sea. We live by your mantra "never regret a swim". It's tattooed on my arm 😂😂.
Oh yeah, glad you got your drone back.
Philly, are you always that calm? Not a ruffled feather anywhere 😂😂.
See you next week. It's got to be a good one because it's my birthday on Saturday 🎉
Love you guys 💚💚
Zen master he is 🤣🤣🤣 always love your comments Alan! Looking forward to the day our paths cross again and we can all go for some wild swimming together!!
@@phillyandkeely Yes me too 💚💚
You can do Ben Nevis. 7 years ago today I did it. Hope Martha is OK. X
Thanks so much Linda 🥰💪⛰️
It is summer there right? 🤣🤣 Never regret a swim!
It's meant to be 🤣🤣 doesn't feel like it lmao
OMG just commented about Beith on the last video and there it is at 0:42 lol. Just found your channel and I comment as I watch so sorry if I repeat anything already commented on.
I love people who comment as they watch, it's like.i get a running monologue, love it
Great video weird hearing it called Isle of Arran😂 I've always called it Arran Islands. Dirty fuel ?? 😮
I'm pretty sure we are probably wrong calling it the isle of Arran 🤣🤣🤣 we did wonder about the fuel, but we've only filled it up at Asda, surely that's not gonna be bad?
OK if you've let the fuel run very low in your tank it can suck up dirt that lies on the bottom. My car doesn't like certain fuels eg cheaper grades
Maybe just stick to the premium diesel in future
2:11 is Ailsa Craig.
👍
Well done with the hike Keely as Philly motivates you which is positive!! That gate was screeching lol 😂 How long did the hike actually take you felt like hours! Swimming in that freezing water 💦💦💦🥶💜💙🇦🇺🍻🍻
We were going for 3-4 hours I think, felt like an eternity haha. If we succeeded it would have been 4-6 hours I reckon
@ Asda need to reach out to sponsor you with sushi. You have us all wanting some!
Hahaha!! It's some good stuff I'm telling ya!n
Another great video guys, can't wait to see more of scottland how martha is ok x
Thanks Sam, we are looking forward to seeing more of it, fingers crossed Martha sorts herself out and stops having wee tantrums. Haven't done much driving while editting this weekend, so will be interested to see how she drives tomorrow.
Meant can ye say hello. 😅😅😅
Helloooo 🥰🥰
Keely - I, like you, really suffer when hiking uphill! There must be some trick that we are missing - others seem to be able to ascend without a problem. Are we breathing wrong? Does anyone know of any specific exercised we can do to increase our ability? Other than climb a mountain, that is. Haha
Honestly I wonder the same 🤣🤣 similar when I'm on a bike, everyone acts like it's so easy, I'm dying. I think it's my little tiny legs everything is extra work for me haha, that's my excuse anyway..
Hi
Do some easy Monros before Ben Nevis
Yeah I think I will for training 🥰🥰
Are you going to Orkneys Island Orkney?
I did plan to do that, but then I heard from someone ferry is expensive so I may need to research it a bit more, we aren't the best researchers haha
Smells, noises, weird vibrations - all good clues. If my dad was still alive, (mechanic all his life), he could solve lots of stuff using more skills than just plug in the diagnostics doohickey. He had the skills to not only figure out what was wrong with a car, but also fix it - sometimes he even needed to use the things back at his Citroën service dealership, but often he just used proper knowhow and tools on the driveway. 17yrs gone, still missed daily.
Your dad sounds like a wizard ❤️❤️ hopefully he passed on some of his skills to you.
@@phillyandkeelyIt seemed like that to many! I got some of his tools... and watched plenty as he explained what he was doing. I remember him changing a wheel bearing on his old Vauxhall Viva on the driveway at home after I'd whacked it into a kerb, pulling the driveshaft out of the rear axle and just finding the necessary stuff to fix it in his collection of things kept 'just in case'. It's more of a confidence thing, really, so I'm still servicing bits like the EGR valve, the turbo sensors and all sorts of stuff that gets coked up in grime in my current cars.
When he died, he still had parts for an even older car of ours in the attic, an Austin A35 van (think Wallace and Gromit for what that looked like) that he'd put rear windows and seats in - late 60's MPV?! He'd sold it maybe 30 years previous and we know it got written off shortly afterwards in a crash on the A1, but he kept the bits anyway... A lot of his really old Whitworth-spec tools went off to Africa, where that standard of fittings are still used.
Should you really just dive in the water when it's that cold, it could be quite dangerous. Take care
I can't do slow or I will wimp out 🤣🤣
Had to see if it was my Island ! But no 😢
What's your island? Perhaps we will be there some day in the future 🥰🥰🥰
@@phillyandkeely top of the Outer Hebrides where welcome is warm
Actually you are in Scotland. The weather can turn on 1p. 😂 and it rains 🌧 alot . Runnnnn back to Martha.
Hahaha! It really does turn on a penny!!
Use identify it . To find out what the name of the plant is . Did you change the fuel filter while in Ireland . I’ll pray it’s not a fuel pump .
I don't think we did, but maybe we can do that on the road ourselves, Philly did it before I think. Fingers crossed not the pump 🤞🤞
where is the first park up please? local and would love to try it.
The very first one is lochshore park kilbirnie KA15 2JA
@@phillyandkeely fab thanks so much
