Nightmare on a Scottish Island: Van Life Gone Wrong

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 😂

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. 😢

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!

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

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.

🤣🤣 cats are wee rascals aren't they haha

[@jessmatthewson7775]

Ok sooo Philly... sometimes wierd little things happen to motors... take a flashlight/torch and get a pretty long stick and see if anything has gotten backed up into the tailpipe of the van exhaust ... we - as rotten teenagers would use a potato & black magic marker(to color the potato so you cant see it inside the pipe) and and plug the tailpipe... this caused the car to run for a while then just quit like Martha's doing... couldnt hurt to check if theres dirt or mud or whatever up in there since theres no lights to guide the mechanical repair check for the mischievous possibilities❤😅 no - i live in America... I didnt do it. LOL also does it happen after it rains or you go through water...there may be something getting into the fuel.

[@alexspeirs8675]

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.

@ Asda need to reach out to sponsor you with sushi. You have us all wanting some!

[@phillyandkeely]

Hahaha!! It's some good stuff I'm telling ya!n

[@Victhekid66]

It is summer there right? 🤣🤣 Never regret a swim!

[@phillyandkeely]

It's meant to be 🤣🤣 doesn't feel like it lmao

[@annc3628]

Great video weird hearing it called Isle of Arran😂 I've always called it Arran Islands. Dirty fuel ?? 😮

[@phillyandkeely]

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?

[@annc3628]

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

[@phillyandkeely]

Maybe just stick to the premium diesel in future

[@pamelarw58]

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 💦💦💦🥶💜💙🇦🇺🍻🍻

[@phillyandkeely]

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

Another great video guys, can't wait to see more of scottland how martha is ok x

[@phillyandkeely]

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.

[@chambersfamilyfarm3391]

Are you going to Orkneys Island Orkney?

[@phillyandkeely]

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

[@karenciaffa3044]

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

[@phillyandkeely]

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..

[@examinerian]

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.

[@phillyandkeely]

Your dad sounds like a wizard ❤️❤️ hopefully he passed on some of his skills to you.

[@examinerian]

@@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
