Welcome back everyone! Dark cold nights in this video but this is what it takes to keep the adventures going. Chantelle would of helped but she does not fire on all cylinders in the cold.

Hi Neil. Well if you fancy a hobble in the future 😉 I know who to call. Got there in the end. A workshop with heater and a 4 post lift would come in handy for my vehicles. If I win the lottery 🙏🏼.

@@neilwilliams9844 I thoroughly love doing my own work on my vehicles. Saved a few bob over the years. Always been good with my hands but could not of been a mechanic for a living. I tip my hat to you.

Quality video mate, I wouldn’t know where to start 🤦🏻‍♂️ but I know who to call now 😂

[@galavanting_whip]

Thanks chris. Not a mechanic by trade so no warranty given 😄.

Hi Chantelle and James, well I certainly learned something tonight - leave vehicle maintenance to people who know what they're doing.😁 Nice to see the Whip fettled for 2025 and well done James for persevering on those cold, dark nights. 👍 Looking forward to the next one. Atb (+ hi to BB)

Hello Paul. Haha yes I would love to put the bus into a garage but there is always delays and sometimes I have trust issues with diagnosis so cold dark nights it is for me! :)

[@teamrail]

@@galavanting_whip Well done for fitting in "traitors" - great viewing 👍

Did you find the oil leak? Modern vehicles can be a right pain to work on. Removing the bumper and quick release rads made the job sooooo much easier - just consumes time.....

[@galavanting_whip]

Currently we have not located it. Tbh have not had a proper good look since. Yes made job longer but as you said job was 1 million times easier. Do not think I could get it out unless I took an engine mount off.
