He said there was a loud bag and could not get any gears after, he has break down cover so I'm guessing I will see him on the Ship to Portsmouth 
It's a K-Reg 110 200TDI
He has not had much luck this trip. |

You might see him but not his truck.
Most breakdown cover policies will repatriate the vehicles occupants straightaway then, wait until they have a few vehicles coming back to UK before they get returned on one transporter  |

I thought that maybe the case (but never said anything) after reading about a Disco that failed all over Morocco and then Spain
Oh Well I might be eating alone on the Ship then. |

Well it is a long story, but it spent 9 weeks in the main dealers, when it came back he had a indenpent report done on it, the advice was "not to use it"

Sounds like you had a good one Matt. Was that Daves 110 ?

Hello Jon 
Yes
The gearbox failed crossing Spain on Friday (500 miles to Bilbao) we were due to catch the Sunday ferry.
The recovery company would not take the LR to Bilbao and would only allow a car to Bilbao airport so Dave chose to go back to Malaga airport and caught a plain home from there on Saturday.
Dave's 110 hopefully will be returned to him this Friday.
We did have a very good trip until the fault though.
My pictures are Here
Titles are based on Chris Scott's Book (Morocco Overland).
If you are interested in the Garmin track log, then I can send it (or anyone else PM your email address) |

Oh well at least it failed on the return leg - some consolation. Maybe he'll get wise now and buy a LC !! 
Have PM'd you re log.
Cant open the album ATM - but maybe security settings on work PC - try later at home.
Cheers
